| 'CHEAP AND CHEERFUL.' | | Strengths:
Easy to wash, dry quickly, wear well, great value. | | Weaknesses:
Look stupid when they go all baggy. | | Overall:
On the bike, rock climbing and hill walking..these are the real traditional things to have on your legs. You won't win any fashion awards but they are cheap (£11.00 at the moment) and very practical. |

| 'not made for me or my buttocks' | | Strengths:
warmish. | | Weaknesses:
Fabric snags easily, they are not cut long enough in the back. This coupled with an ineffective drawstring and toggle makes for some breezy backside moments. | | Overall:
Rather disappointed with these, I tried several sizes on and picked what I felt was the best but extended use proved them to be uncomfortable and cut badly. They may fit a skinnier build but I found them too tight in the wrong places and loose in others. Can't recommend these at all. |

| 'Quality kit used for the bike or footy practice...' | | Strengths:
Warm, snug, comfortable, relfective piping on the back of the legs and foot straps. | | Weaknesses:
Get wet easily. Material not good at resisting crashes. | | Overall:
I like mine, wear them in the colder weather or in the extreme am. Work well at keeping knees warm and toasty. After 2 years of riding the crotch seam burst open, so I got a pair of the DXBs.
Good kit if you just want a basic tight and as for VFM just check the ridiculuous prices of the competition. |

| 'A GOOD ALL ROUND TIGHT' | | Strengths:
Cheap
reflective piping
multi season
cant be used for multi activitys | | Weaknesses:
Not warm enoguh for winter use
Dont resist rain at all.
No padding | | Overall:
For spring to autumn use these are fine adn can be used as a base layer in deep winter. Lack of padding reduces there use as I dont really like wearing shorts unerneath. I suppose despit ehtere name there more multi purpose then cycle specfic |

| 'PRETTY GOOD LONGS FOR THE PRICE' | | Strengths:
Quite cheap, good loops under feet to keep 'em to stay down, drawstring waist, reflective piping (& on the Reflects, all of back of leg is reflective). | | Weaknesses:
No padding, but ok with padded lycra shorts underneath.
Need to be cut a bit higher at the back. | | Overall:
At this price they do just fine, spend more though if you want a pair of longs for regular winter riding or for some extra insulation. |
