I'm a road rider during the summer and a MTB rider in cooler and cold weather. My old pair of bib shorts are ripped to shreds from riding in the woods so now I've been wearing regular shorts over my good pair of road tights.

I ordered through the mail a pair of MTB knickers. I wanted the calf length. I thought that was a good idea for colder weather and any cuts and falls. However, I put them on and my wife laughed! They fit me great in the waist, butt, and frontal area but the legs, the legs, I could fit another person in them. Is this the way MTB knickers are? I'm 60 years old. Is this what I can wear? I'm not use to that type of look. If they are all are NOT like this, I'll send them back.
