Mens Gravity Shorts | Forest

heavy duty and very confortable

Ok, so this sounds a bit negative, and it is, but you've got to be honest when you just don't love something.
Positives:
- Good material and stretch
- Length good (if you like your shorts longer)
- Good ability to adjust waist sizing (more on that in a minute)
- Double button setup seemed to work well
Negatives:
- The use of velcro for adjustability means that also gets caught in other fabrics when washing (all your other MTB clothes) and will tend to pull threads
- The use of velco for adjustability, if not perfectly aligned also means it may catch on your skin if you're not wearing bib nicks
- Only one zippered side pocked is a bit of a let down. Yes, it's in the description, I get it, but one either side should be a minimum (IMO)

So when I compare to my current favourite (Fox Defend shorts), I reach for the Fox over the Dharco. I think a few tweaks in design could help, like using perhaps loop / buckles instead of velcro at least. The pockets I can deal with (albeit a PITA). They are stretch and comforable on that front though which is good. Horses for courses.

The material feels great.
Length is good.
The Velcro/double stud/zip combo join for the waist is great.
The adjustable straps for the waist is a great idea.
The stash pocket at the back on the waist band is awesome.
The main pocket would be better positioned on the side and slightly to the rear on the leg like the Fox Ranger shorts are.
It would make it more comfortable with a phone in there and in the event of a stack would mean you’re not landing on your phone or whatever is in the pocket.
Thanks

Super comfy shorts! My fourth pair. They go the distance too.👍

Very happy with all my purchases. Fully kitted out and feeling the part.
