Nice idea but flappy ankles mean we,ll stick with the excellent three-quarters instead

Endura's Humvee shorts and three-quarter length pants are some of our favourite baggies, so our rickety knees creaked excitedly at the idea of full trousers.

They have the same storage goodness - double map and hand pockets, a single cargo pocket, a zipped phone pocket and a key clip - as the three-quarters but with zip-sided, twin-strapped lower legs. They also have the same articulated knees as the three-quarters.

Unfortunately, the light material isn't enough to ward off nettles or add much warmth. They rapidly get wet and heavy in damp conditions too, which makes them drag. There aren't enough straps to keep them out of your chainrings either and our pair is already looking very chewed. Admittedly, the price is very low, but they just feel like you've gone riding in your pyjamas by mistake - not the most inspiring performance from a company that has such a fine reputation for its other products.
