Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA pants, knickers, shorts coming back

+ 1,000. Why, oh why do manufacturers of "cycling" pants cut them low in back or, alternatively, with high crotches? I've owned any number of high-end and low-end cycling shorts, knickers, and long pants that, this defect apart, would have been wonderful, but instead cut them like low-rise street p

Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA pants, knickers, shorts coming back

I’ve worn the Musa shorts for several years. I dislike the elastic belt and the seams on the rear pockets did not hold for long….other than than, great durable shorts for cycling. On Sun, Aug 29, 2021 at 3:45 PM Peter Adler wrote: > Although a pair of pants (or maybe knickers) sound appealing,

Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA pants, knickers, shorts coming back

Although a pair of pants (or maybe knickers) sound appealing, I don't expect to buy the new ones. I own an earlier generation of the grey/blue pants, with Velcro leg straps. The material is fine, for what it is. My two primary beefs are the elastic belt and the silly-low rise, which combine to

I received mine and the L was a good choice for my 33" waist. I was a bit surprised about the lack of a zipper on them. I can see that being an issue the first time I'm wearing them after drinking a Super Big Gulp.Robert TilleySan Diego, CA

Got the new MUSA pants yesterday. For reference, I am 6"2, 220ish pounds, stocky build and the Large's fit fantastic. Yes they are more snug than past iterations, but that guarantees I will basically live in them. Super comfy out of the box, they go with everything and haven't "slipped" down my bo

Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA Pants

The new ones are supposed to be less baggy. Sounds like they aren't letting Grant design clothing anymore (or he's willingly passed that task on). The new ones are also a polyester/lycra blend. I think that will be good from a fit and comfort perspective, but potentially far less durable than th

I'm intrigued by these. Hopefully they'll have them at Rivelo where I can check them out before purchasing. I have a pair of large green ones that I've had for probably 10yrs that I wear from time to time. I hate the look and fit but they do work. Riv shorts are still my all-time favorite cyclin

Re: [RBW] Re: MUSA Pants

Wait I thought this run was all black? Is that not true? In any case I’ll probably buy a pair or two. Similar to Joe, I prefer the shorts for actual biking, but the MUSA pants are nice for lounging about the house/doing chores. Plus I like supporting Riv in the hopes of even more Wooly War

So how do the new pants fit vs. the old? I thought the new pants were baggier, but if they're tapered, maybe not. Eric who needs skinny and long On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 2:26 PM, Geoffrey wrote: > This site cracks me up sometimes. While people were speculating about the > Sterling being a Bilen

Yes, snug buckled with the straps expanded as far as possible. When unbuckled, there's no issue, and I think would be fine for 32". You could redo the buckle, if the fit was otherwise fine. But maybe the medium would be better if the other dimensions are close enough? (Hiking and camping would

Re: [RBW] Re: musa pants inseam question

Thanks Shoji. That helps a good bit. I'm a 32" waist normally but hoping a small will work with the expandable strap on the waist. the shorts I have are a medium and fit great. Are they snug with the straps on the waist expanded out as far as they can go? These will be more for hiking and campi
