There are very well-constructed MTB shorts. Lightweight and a perfect length. I would normally wear an XL short but ordered an L and they're perfect. Order per the sizing chart.
the quality is less than expected, and the sizing states that you should pick your 'normal' european size, so ordered the Large.. but this is for sure more an XL (even XXL I'd say) ... so maybe the US citizens consider this an L.. for Europeans this is way over an L.
