I really like the look of these. The size chart is pretty accurate. I have a pair of Nike bicycle shorts size-small and they are too big. (They were a gift so I can't complain.) The material on my Nike shorts is way more elastic than the material on these. I know I have the right size in these shorts (XS) but I do have a hard time putting them on (getting them up over my butt:) because the material is not very elastic. They are also tight around my thighs (makes kind of a muffin top effect) but they fit well around the hips and waist (once I hoist them up) and I guess that's what matters when it comes to bicycle shorts. Like the previous reviewer said, if they fit right around the thigh, they would be too big in hips, butt and waist and I learned from my Nike shorts that you DO NOT want that. I don't know yet if the tight squeeze around my thighs would become an issue on a long ride. I do wish the material was more elastic I think that that would maybe even solve the fit-around-the-thighs issue. I think it is a little strange that the manufacturer and/or designer wouldn't take into consideration the possibility of a cyclist having "bulkier" thighs...

I do like these shorts but I can't say they are my favorite. I am use to wearing the Nashbar shorts because I don't like really thick padding and I prefer a longer length but Nashbar have been out of medium so I tried these instead. These have very thick foam padding which looks like a bicycle seat shaped thick blue pad sewn inside the shorts. Actually not uncomfortable once I got use to it it just feels strange to walk in and I prefer chamois lining. The length is a bit shorter then I like but again no real issue just what I'm use to. I wear a medium in my old Nashbars but these I followed the size chart thank goodness because they run a little bit small. The large just fits in fact they are a little bit tight on the upper thighs but a size larger would be too big in the waist. I am 5'9'' with a 32'' waist for reference. Do go by the size chart, the measurements are pretty accurate. These do come way down below your bellybutton where the front V's which I actually liked but others may not. They stayed in place on the legs very well and overall I liked these shorts, just not sure they are worth the high price, luckily they do go on sale at a reasonable price. The white trimmed black is very nice looking on.

These shorts are great cycling shorts and the price is pretty good too. I am a size ten pant wearer, and the medium's fit a little tight, but not uncomfortably. The shammy is just the right size to be comfortable on, during, and just before a ride.

I got these and love them. I got a pair and had a c-section last year. These are great cycle shorts for women that have abdominal scarring (such as from a c-section). I teach cycle class at 3 different gyms and love them. I am gonna have my husband get me an additional pair for my birthday.

I'm not in love with these shorts. The chamois is less than impressive it's okay for leisure rides, but not for any serious long distances. However, the short actually does fit well.
