  1. For Dan “best bibs, no bibs” Abrams: Looking at the Deckard Short, the one thing that stops me from buying them is the velcro side adjustments. About 75% of the bike shorts on the market have that setup. However, or DH wear a pear of 5 yo POC shorts. The fabric is still solid, but the velcro gets fuzzed out and unreliable on DH. For trail, probably ok. However, on that description you say for Enduro, but it’s the down that counts. True that. Fox (and maybe some others) have a kind of ratchet belt, and Zoic has a ladder loop system or their DH oriented shorts. That’s a big change for a product, but velcro and downhill don’t mix. I know you have the belt loops, and that is a good secondary system, but it’d be nice to have reliability through and through.

    And if you made DH bibs, I might bite. I sure love them skiing.
