I have a hard time finding similar shorts today, I wish some companies would still make some. I've also built bikes with those Sickles on, spent many hours trail building, drove probably a hundred complete days with them on (QC-Yukon a few times), hiked, bushwacked, etc. They had a few grease stains which ended up disappearing with the frequent washed. The colors (unfortunately haha) are still pretty much exactly like when I bought them, they haven't discolored.
This summer I bought some Dakine shorts because I wanted black riding shorts but never wore them as they're a bit tight at the waist. The Showers Pass IMBA at MEC fit pretty good, but even at 50% off (70$), I thought that they didn't fit as well as my Sickles and I could feel the material pull a bit when lifting the legs up.
Still waiting for a Sickle company revival to get new shorts but they seem to have disappeared!
