Reviews
Great Shorts
"I like these shorts, but the legs are long. They run to the back of my knee (and I’m tall with fairly long legs). The fabric is very breathable, the fit is great with a reasonably high waist. The chamois is almost as good as the Pros. I wear a M with a 33” waist and I’m 6’4”, for size comparison."
Men’s PI/Red shorts
"Men’s PI/Red shorts are very comfortable for my usual 32 mile rides. The pad makes for a pleasant ride. My waste size is 33, but the medium was too small. I exchanged them for a large size and they fit perfectly."

Jury Stll Out
"I've been unable to use them because they were too small. I'm working in exchange, but the dialogue is sparse. I'm disappointed that the exchange hasn't been more interactive."
I always buy pearl Izumi.
"I always buy pearl Izumi. The cycling shorts are the best."
Men’s shorts
"I really appreciate the thick pads"
Men's PI/Red Shorts
"Run small. Padding did not provide as much comfort as I had hoped!"
Good quality
"Good quality"
Great shorts
"I've worn my shorts on long gravel/mtb tides, and so far they are excellent. Fabric seems a step below the Pro shorts, of course, but the pad seems nearly the same quality. Fit is tight at first, but they stretch out well."
