I'm 6'6", 180#, 34" waist, ordered the M and they fit just right. I ride about 7,000 miles a year on both DFs and bents. I use compression shorts for the DF rides. I like compression shorts so about 1 1/2 years ago bought a pair of Skins and 2XU. I've worn each about 50 times. The Skins are still "like new",whereas the 2XU are wornout with rear seam coming lose, logos wearing off, and not as much compression as when new. I've only gone on two 50 mile rides with the Gs so I can't speak to durability. The pad is just as comfi as the others. The material seems a bit thicker, and the inseem seems a bit longer. Both of these feature for me are very good. Often in the winter I wear kneewarmers and the Gs keep then up better than the others shorts. @ 2/3s of the price the Gs are a better buy for the same or better quality. The only thing better on the other two are the "decals" or logos. The G is a rather "Plain Jane" nondescript looking short. I like them so well I just bought a second pair. I hope they wear well.

My prior shorts were Pearl Izumis from many years ago. The chamois and padding in these are a huge upgrade and I like the compression--enough without being restricting. I have another pair of LG shorts that I bought before these, but like these a bit better.

These are quality riding shorts. The shorts are well built for distance in the saddle. The shorts run long towards the knee, but they still look fine; with plenty of cushion in the proper place for distance. Padding above average!
They are a bit warmer then lesser quality shorts. I sometimes double shorts up, no need with these. If distance is your thing, these are worth the extra dollars. They compress in the leg to help with muscle fatigue. I would buy these again! I like the feel during the ride and the seat. Only down is they are a bit warmer otherwise 5 stars!
