“Jury is still out”

“The jury is still out on these, so I don't know if my review will help. I like the fit because I am tired of the tourniquet-tight waists of most bike shorts. I'm not an apple, but I am also not a curvy hourglass, either. I've only worn them three times in 50 degree weather, and they seem warm, but the way wool adjusts to conditions, I'm not ready to say they are only for warm weather. The poly bike short is a thick fleecy material, though. Very comfortable, but maybe not for summer. The chamois is thick, and seemed rough the first two rides, but felt better on the third. The medium fit me fine, though it's better with thinner bike shorts underneath. I am 5'7" and about 145 pounds. I think these are cute, and I prefer the brown to hot, hot black. Not sure if I'll take the inner shorts on my tour, but the outer ones will be considered. Oh, and so far, the outer shorts don't ride up like some others and they actually are cute on. BTW, I am going to experiment with an old pair of inner shorts by cutting out the middle of the pad. Why the manufacturers don't already do this for women is beyond me. If that works on the old pair, then I will do it with these, too. That would make the padding less . . . you know.”
