And then strangely enough the pants are not long enough at the same waist measurement.

Not even close.

They look the same, same waist band, same closer, same everything... but the shorts are so much smaller around the ass and excessively long. Whereas the long pants have nice ass space, feel comfortable and the size 36 is an ok length for me at a regular 32" inseam, but for you they would be halfway up your leg.

I think the issue may be, a lot of people wear the gravity pants high at the ankle. So they are meant to be on the shorter side.

My 2 boys and all their mates actually fold the bottom up, showing about 6 inches of sock, they look like they are running half mast because their cat died. Fckn looks ridiculous.

Mine are loose and a little bit scrunched at the bottom.

I find the material a bit stiff and therefore not as comfy as some others I have.
My current faves are Rocday. Tuff, comfy, lotsa pockets. Only thing I’m not in love with it the fastening system.

Rocday Lite shorts or the other ones?

Referring to the stiff material quote? That’d be the Dharcos. The Rocdays are nice and stretchy but still tuff.

Rocday have two shorts, the Lite and the other model. Was just wondering which you have tried.
I have plenty of Dharco shorts and agree with what you’ve found with them.

Ah, I bought them while in Bright and I’d slid my ass down the rocks on Elevation and tore the shorts I was wearing to ribbons. TLD,if I remember correctly( overated and too expensive!) so didn’t pay a lot of attention to which model but I’d say they are the heavier duty version. Pretty tuff and good endurobro length. I know @ozzybmx likes his shorts Warwick Capper style but if I get any thigh gap above my shorts I just can’t deal and these Rocdays fit perfect in that respect. I’m 6’3.

They're made from a stretch material which makes them more comfortable to ride in, the crutch part doesn't hang low and get caught on the tip of the saddle when you're off and on the saddle all the time, and the material breaths better and keeps you cooler.
