Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic alert!! Feedback request.
Stretch in pants/shorts cannot be overstated as an enjoyable part to my cycling experience. Sometimes I think the reason why folks go baggy is they want the lack of restriction, which stretch gives you without adding bulk. -J, Oakland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic alert!! Feedback request.
Thanks, all. So: durability -- no fraying or holes; stretch -- comfort without bagginess; and quick to dry. I won't add comfort, because my baggy cutoffs are comfortable enough that I don't think about comfort when riding, and again, this up to 30 miles. (I have 3 pr of woolen bike shorts in the hypothetical case of longer rides.) Nor will I add looks since my old cutoff Gaps and so forth look good. Hell, even durability: I've got a pair of Gaps that I wore for 10 years as long pants and that are in year 2 as shorts. Color would be a plus, since the khaki does get dirty easily. I will keep an eye out for these, for a sale. As it is, for $75 I can buy 5 pr of GW khakis and pay $10/pair to have them shortened. It would be nice to have a pair of trim shorts that fit well on a bike -- most bike shorts (non-stretchy) that I've worn are too low in waist and too tight in crotch -- Patagonia one, for example, MUSA (old style) for another. Frankly, I'm tempted to buy some simply because they look better with jerseys -- more like traditional bike shorts -- than my khakis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic alert!! Feedback request.
My favorite things about GOOD cycling specific shorts/pants. Crotch doesn't easily snag the nose of my saddle. Less luck of the draw that there's a stitch/seam/etc that will cause discomfort after a few miles. Lastly, deeper pockets.

I usually wear them on the way to and from work and at work and on shorter rides on the weekend and riding around town, etc They are cut so they are comfy on the bike and the stretch seems to work. They are quick dry over normal cotton. They last much much much bettter than any cotton canvas shorts I wear. I like carhart shorts, patagonia stand up shorts, but they fray at the hem and pockets and seat while riding. The mountain Khaki shorts are better wearing, but still fall apart after a couple summers. The durable cotton SWRV shorts look new still after a pretty solid year of riding, including lots of thorny off road rides. I have an old version of SWRV cotton shorts that I bought in 2011 and are very faded but seem to hold up much better than any of the carhart/patagonia/mountainkhaki options. So compared to cutoff khakis they look nicer, wear better and may or may not be more comfortable on the bike, probably dry quicker. They cost a bunch more, but I have piles of shredded carharts and mountain khakis that I bought on sale or at deep discout on STP that have not held up at all.

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic alert!! Feedback request.
As much as I want to love SWRVE, my experience has been horrible in regard to sizing. I like a slim fit but the waists were all over the place and the material would stretch 1-3 upon 1 wear.

I hope someone out there can chime in...I was at their global center today. Had they had the durable cotton shorts in dark grey with a 33 waist I'd have bought them. Apparently, dark grey is super popular and 33 waist a common size. Even though I was there I didn't get a confident feeling the originals would dry quickly dispite the lackluster assurance from the lovely young lady helping me. Word is they won't have the dark grey durable in for a long time. Incidentally, there was a beautiful grey cat with yellow eyes lurking around, but he was kinda agitated!

They have two types in this model the cotton twill fabric with a small amount of lycra for stretch and their new fabric called durable cotton which has cotton, nylon (durable) and some lycra for stretch and I think a coating for wind and water resistance. What I'd really like to know is whether the first fabric model (which is incidentally the older model) after a long day in the saddle will dry out? Usually after a long day I'll change into some knickers around camp to give the shorts time to air out and dry. Do they soften up after washing and are they too heavy for hot Summer rides...their Web site states they're for Spring Summer? But they seem very thick especially as opposed to their other specific lightweight shorts. Your feedback is appreciated.
