'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.
