Gerry shorts...

So after seeing a table of these at the Costco in Asuza, for only $12, i picked up a couple pairs.

Paired with the coop liners i got from REI, it gives me a short/liner system for less than $25. Not bad.

Given the price, I can't really complain. Fit is more true to size than many other shorts I've tried. Same as my dockers alphas for reference. I find them a little short in the seat to waist, but not so much that it's a discomfort. Material is great, seems stretchy and cool. And the cinching belt on one side is way better than the snaps on my rangers (limited adjustment) or the velcro on my dakines.

My biggest complaint is the pockets. My phone is big, 6.41", but it does fit in the side pocket. I just really wish the pocket had a zipper... I would rather not have to worry about constantly checking to see if it's there. The one ride I went on was not bad, but that was a bike path with my kid. If I was moving around, hitting rougher stuff I would be way more concerned. There is a cargo pocket with a zipper, but way to small for a "modern" phone.

But hey , for $12 bucks I can live with it.
 
I have been using these for a while now during the winter riding months. For not being a "Baggy" fan, these work pretty well. They do on occasion get caught on the front of the saddle, but that is mostly because of low riding them. o_O I like the built in adjustable belt that helps to cinch them on so they don't low ride. Also like the zippered back pocket. Even if I leave my wallet in there and zip it up it never gets in the way of the saddle. I just wear Pearl Izumi lycra under them. After a year of using them, if I saw them in Costco again I would buy several more pairs. Be nice to get something other than black!

Are these them? They're under a different name.... :confused:

Edit: No they are not them, but I bet they're real similar.

I bought (3) more pairs of the Gerry shorts (future proofing) when they came out again a few weeks back at our local Costco. For the price, it's a no brainer to me. I also picked up a pair of the Weathertech's that Rocky posted above. I plan on wearing them a daily shorts vs biking shorts but haven't worn them yet. Still trying top decide if they are long enough.

Yes!!! I need to try them on. I won't wear short shorts. Last weekend I found my dickies caught on my portable air pump while riding, that sucked. I noticed no one mounts a pump there, (seat tube) I'm guessing this is why. :confused:
 
Gerry shorts are back at Costco this week, at least in Prescott. They are still $14.99. They changed the texture this year and they are lighter as well. The huge bummer for me is they removed the side pocket that was on your left thigh which had a zipper closure so I used it to carry a $20 bill, credit card and ID on every ride. I actually like all the changes but the pocket removal might be a deal breaker for me.
