I had been using the Costco Gerry shorts for a while, but not really satisfied (seat/rise) felt way to short to properly fit my long legs and general tallness. I had some interest in Patagonia shorts, or possibly investing in some Kitsbow.. but then I realized I might already have the perfect solution.

I had picked up a few pairs of Eddie Bauer Guide pro shorts for hiking and camping about a year and a half ago.

about $75 so not cheap, but easier on the wallet than other mtb specific brands.
stetch material, two way stretch, moisture repelling, upf 50 protection, lightweight, slim fitting (no ballons around the legs), and durable feeling.
Plus, available in tall sizes to add some length for those of us on the higher end of the vertical spectrum.

So far I really like them, the regular side pockets do not zip, but there is a zippered pocket, and the rear velcro closed. I picked up a Grip six ultralight belt to pair with them https://grip6.com/collections/ultralight-series

And wearing the bn3th north shore chamois https://www.bn3th.com/products/north-shore-bike-chamois-black

Most comfortable I've been on the bike for a while.

Now to find some decent minimalist looking jerseys that don't make me look like a walking billboard

I have gone with Columbia Omni Freeze shirts when I ride, especially in this Bakersfield heat. They make good stuff and it’s reasonably priced.

I have a couple of these as well...that I wear with my $14 Gerry shorts from Costco. I have at least 5 pair. I'm not tall & lean like @Derkderkall so they work great for me, especially for the price. I've had one pair for 5 years (thanks Facebook memories) and aside from being baggy from dropping 15 lbs, they are still going strong.
