Ceramic coating hype is wild. It’s like they think slapping some fancy coating on your shorts makes them invincible. Real talk, have these brands even ridden the trails they gear up for? A weekend warrior's ride on smooth paths is a far cry from gnarly, root-infested hell. You gotta wonder if they’re just banking on the marketing buzz to sell overpriced junk. Are we seriously expected to shell out cash for shorts that won't hold up when things get sketchy? What about those of us who tackle the real deal? No one wants to be stuck mid-ride with shredded shorts and a sore butt. So what's the deal with the shorts that actually last? Anyone seen anything that can survive rocky descents and muddy climbs without falling apart? The search for legit gear is exhausting. Why can’t there be a brand that gets it right? Or is that too much to ask?
