Answer Question
Are you willing to customize, or consider a new design based on Outlaw Bullet?
I have 4 pair of your shorts, apparently Outlaw Bullet. They are the best I have found, but still not ideal.
What works:
- the cosmetic design
- the padding
- a bit baggy. I don't need to show off my anatomy with tights
- I go with these shorts mostly for the pockets, deep and zippered secure. I have even managed to stuff a wind breaker in those pockets before when expecting some rain. Other bike shorts typically have
- - small zipper pockets
- - none at all, expecting a pocket in the back of a cycling jersey
- - a tiny pouch at the tailbone
- - an open pocket. I don't see the point of this one at all. I want to carry my keys, wallet, and cell phone in the shorts, not elsewhere. Trusting these objects to an open pocket would be absurd.
What I would like to see different:
- bring the pockets up closer to the hips, so the items in my pockets aren't flopping around as my legs move; the hips are stationary
- shorter shorts: As-is today, the fabric tends to catch either on a) a water bottle on my road bike, or b) the rear suspension on my mountain bike. My current solution to this is to tuck the outer shorts fabric up under the elastic band of the interior padding. Ideally the outer shorts fabric might be just about that length.
