3.0 out of 5 stars. Quite comfortable, not flatteringVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Massachusetts on Tuesday, August 16, 2016I agree with another reviewer who liked the shorts but found the various seams unflattering. It's true: I've got muscle, but I'm not naturally lean in the lower body, and these shorts emphasize that. But it ain't a fashion show, and I ride alone most of the time anyway. At these prices, I'm glad I bought the shorts.

2.0 out of 5 stars. Odd fit - between sizes?Verified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Michigan on Friday, August 12, 2016Fairly new to cycling. Training for a century ride and needed another pair of shorts. My only pair are very old PI's that are still in good shape I just needed another spare pair. The elastic bands at the bottom of the short does create a sausage type effect. I didn't like that but I could get over that. The chamois seemed nice - the attack short chamois is too bulky for me. The bigger issue was the elastic seam by the hip area was so tight and without much give it felt like I was going to rip them pulling them on. Once over the hips they were fine but I was afraid after regular use they would be shot. I had the same issue with BOTH the medium and large pairs. The large was definitely too big but the medium was a little too small. I returned both. I ended up going with specialized rbx comp shorts and they fit like my old PI shorts do. Perfection. I put them on and knew right away finally I found the right pair - the price tag however - OUCH.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Nice bike shortsVerified Buyer Reviewed by javakitty from Seattle on Thursday, August 11, 2016These shorts are good quality, perhaps not my favorite, but wearable in size M. I ordered a S and had to exchange.

3.0 out of 5 stars. These look smallReviewed by javakitty from Seattle on Thursday, July 28, 2016I wear a small size. When I took these out of the box I didn't even try to put them on. I am hoping the exchange for a medium will work. Quality seems to be very good, but I would recommend ordering a size up.
