I have long legs and, as a result, the average MTB baggy short isn't long enough to protect my my poor thighs from the saddle nose. I'm looking around for longer shorts and am wondering if y'all have any recommendations. I have an awesome pair of Fox shorts that are 12" long and almost too long, so something in the 10" range might be good.

I'm considering:

http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=30116 Crazy expensive, but they if they work....

http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=31304 Ditto. Doesn't someone here have these and love them?

http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=31147 Are these really snug in the legs like Bermuda shorts, or looser? I can't tell from the pic.


Any thoughts on these 3 or others that you would suggest? Thanks for your help!

Wow. Those are crazy expensive.

I know this is Team Estrogen's site, but take a look at Performance. They have a huge selection under $60. They also have free shipping this weekend.

That's where I bought my Fox shorts, which I really like. Unfortunately, all of their other baggies are 8" or less- I really wanted a pair of those Zoic Posh shorts too, but I don't think they'll be long enough. And knickers are too warm during the summer for me... :(

Harlot makes some really comfortable tall-chickie shorts.

I have these http://www.harlotwear.com/habitshort.htm and am very happy with them. It's so nice to have shorts that are LONG enough! (and that look mighty sexy AND say "Harlot" across the butt)

Size medium has a 10 inch inseam.

I have the Sugoi Gusta shorts. Yeah, they are not cheap, but they are so well made. Pockets, vents, a great chamois, and a tough outer fabric that withstood a crash across rock and into sagebrush. I also like the web adjustments at the waist. I purchased a pair of Oakley shorts from Chainlove this week and sent them back immediately. The waist didn't adjust, the liner did not come out, and the chamois was huge (and uncomfortable)

The danger is that if you buy one pair of the Gustas, you will want another. I know. It happened to me! ;)

Ooooo...I'm digging those! Does TE have any plans to carry Harlot (or Twin Six for that matter)?

Those Gustas look way nice too. I may end up using my b-day gift certificate towards a pair.

I had to cut out the liner from my Harlot shorts, me and the chamois just weren't getting along.
without the liner, I love 'em! And they love me back :D

The Harlot "Habit" doesn't come with a liner, which makes me happy cuz I don't like liners, either.

Check it out, Zen... you know you want another pair of Harlots.... right? :p
