“Great length for sun protection!”

“I use these shorts for sun protection. They are just long enough to cover my knees when riding. The small side slit at the bottom gives a lot of room for knee movement. I live in hot, dry southern CA, so don't need the lining. I cut that out and reinforced the inner seams, making these a perfect lightweight short for cycling in my part of the country! And it provides a little more room for lycra shorts underneath. It does have a slightly odd fit in the hips and waist, but I wear tops that cover that. I think I'll order another pair!”
