Waist:
Feels true to size
Length:
Feels true to length
Best Uses:
Brevets, Commuting, Cyclotouring
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use these Canari shorts on long rides (100 miles or more) and they do the trick. I rode these on a 760 mile in 90 hour ride (in addition to using them on ~century/day tours) and they worked for me. Chamois is not overly thick and the fabric is comfortable. I find they run true to size, perhaps a smidge on the bigger side.
Leg gap on Canari cycling shorts

Waist:
Feels true to size
Length:
Feels true to length
Pros:
Breathable, Dries Quickly, Good Padding
Best Uses:
Road Racing, Touring, Warm Weather
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Canari has a great reputation so I jumped on it when I saw their women's bicycling shorts on sale. The makers of these shorts, however are stretching the leg openings during sewing. They gap, look ruffley and don't touch my legs though I returned a L for a M. Unless they are snug on the leg, the short's legs don't stay down.

Feels true to length
Pros:
Breathable, Dries Quickly, Good Padding
Cons:
Fits all but legs, Leg elastic ruffles, Leg openings don't grip, Leg openings too large, Legs improperly elasticiz
Best Uses:
Road Racing, Warm Weather
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a long-distance touring cyclist and was looking for shorts for a 3,500-mile ride I'm doing this summer. Canari has a good rep but these shorts were improperly made. The leg opening elastic did not touch my leg at all, but ruffled out. I exchanged a L for a M but the leg elastic ruffled out and did not touch my leg in a M also. The fabric looked like it would be cool but stretched over the body it was semi-transparent in places. I will not buy Canari shorts again.

Not good for regular-to-slim legs

Feels true to size
Length:
Feels true to length
Cons:
Leg holes too loose, Not Enough Padding
Describe Yourself:
Avid Cyclist
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: A medium in this Canari had leg holes that were too loose -- not good for women with regular-to-slim thighs in my opinion. The chamois padding was so-so. Not good for long rides. The fit of the waist was quite nice though.

Length:
Feels true to length
Pros:
Breathable, Durable
Best Uses:
Very short rides
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These shorts are comfortable to wear off the bike but forget about the "padding" when you are riding. They fit loosely which I like but wish that the pad was much more significant.

Best Uses:
