Gear Review Alert: A Mixed Bag October 14, 2008

Filed under: Gear Review — beth26 @ 7:31 pm

Not only am I chatty about, well, everything but also I really like to ride bikes, alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, play tennis, hike and just about any other outdoor activity.  Since I live in Colorado, the opportunities for outside recreation are endless.

So, I am constantly in search of gear that is highly functional and reasonably attractive (some gear works well but looks absolutely hideous).  To that end, I recently purchased a pair of Shebeest Breezer Board Shorts.  I love the Shebeest brand and I own several of their cycling jerseys.  Plus, these were on a killer sale (regularly $80 and I paid $40).

The over-shorts are awesome - fast drying, durable and comfortable.  They also look pretty cool.  On the downside, the removable liner (otherwise known as the chamois) is really a bummer.  It fits loose in the waist and very saggy in the rump yet tight across my quads.  Worst of all, when I ride bikes wearing the chamois, the chamois goes riding too…right on up there.  Need I say more?

So, if you’re in the market for a great and affordable pair of over-shorts, I highly recommend them.  If you want a comfortable chamois, look elsewhere!  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
