They are the ones that I'm looking at but I won't be wearing knee pads with them. Do you think they're too baggy without? I don't have any shops anywhere near me to try them on.
Really good review, thanks! Very much appreciate you talking about waist size, space for knee pads and phone pocket. Can't believe women's pockets were smaller on one pair!!
3:32 I see the saddle area is quite worn, they should have reinforced that area along with ankle crank area. Would be nice if saddle and falling on the butt won't wear out the trousers as fast. The phone thing you mentioned was weird. Maybe factory messed up their orders.
4:26 Those fit you well, much better than the trousers I have. I have MT500 II waterproof trousers, I use Mens Large, 82 legs length, I am 41cm above knee, 51cm thigh but recently bought Singletrack II trousers too, also in Large, same fit there. They look quite breathable, but too soon to test those, still winter here. For some reason they have a narrower taller pocket in addition so 3 pockets in total, but that one phone is too tall in, but the regular one it is perfectly placed. I am not sure what the pocket is suitable for. I need to use a belt with both, they don't have the front adjustment, and even maxed out straps they are too big in the waist, but if I go down in size the leg length will be too short. In Singletrack II jerseys I am medium, the fit is nice, the sleeves are long, even when doing the light bulb change move, it goes way past my wrist. The jersey has an unusual pattern, they call it a classic grid, it is suposed to help breathability while providing warmth, they claim it should suit spring, autumn and as a mid layer when it's chilly. I only bought one so far, just to try it. The sleeve is longer than Eu M Mavic Crossmax & Crossmax LTD, L GMBN jerseys, GMBN has a sporty fit, their jersey is a bit see trough, thin, light, breathable for sure, So I might order some for the summer. the trousers are quite baggy at the knees. But pockets are normal on those. I have a good belt so it's not a problem, I don't mind. I wear 32'' Poc Shorts, they fit me, just use straps if I need it tighter. Endura's glove sizing seem to be comparable to Leatt, I guess I am size S, i I'm 21cm around the knuckles, wore Medium Poc, I wear S in Leatt, I have Medium Endura which I use in the winter with liner, but it's a size too big, I also have Large, which I use with two liners for foggy -5C or for -10C or colder.
I've been using the decathlon trousers for a year now, they are still in perfect condition and have lasted well, I find the pocket isn't quite deep enough for a regular sized phone and it digs into your hip when riding and if you stop to take it out its a fight to get back in as the pocket liner get tangled around the phone, otherwise great trousers
I recently got a pair of the Decathlon ones - they were reduced to £30 in store too. They aren’t as good as my regular Endura trousers - I find the pockets and bit small and the fit slightly tight on me - but they are a rare bargain in MTB.
I sized up after reading the reviews, especially as i have wide hips, so went for a medium rather than a small and find them a good fit 😊 the pockets fit my smart phone and gloves which is all i need them to do 😊
Best ones for me,endura mt 500 spray pants,great fit,stretchy,on sale from tredz atm for £90

The emdura ones in the video are with the fox launch pros underneath which are pretty chunky! So will be baggy without
I think the women's are going even cheaper! I always buy everything in the sales 😂

Ah thank you so much! Glad it was useful! I agree about the pockets 🤯
Cheers Tess, I need to get some winter ones at some point, I'm always running shorts which is fine temperature wise but the mud... god, the mud!
The Decathlon ones come in full waterproof too i think. Definitely helps with the clean up 😃

Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting! 👍

I carry my phone in the pockets without issue, but i guess we are all different shapes! They are are great value trousers aren't they!
