Great biking shorts
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Fit:
- True to size
I love the shorter length option for biking shorts as they look cute and are very functional! Excellent padding and no chaffing or riding up. I would air on the side of sizing up if you are between sizes.

I was really concerned when I ordered these right before a trip that they would be too small, but they fit well. I had an older pair of bike shorts from this brand in a size small and so that's what I went with, not sure if that was the right choice based on other reviews. It's always confusing to gauge the correct size if you're even a bit tall because size charts scale the weight up too, hence me leaving a review in the event it helps someone. (Just double-checked the size chart and if I just based my size off of that (waist/hips) I would have ordered the XS, so I guess measure yourself after a large meal, or go up one size.) I like the length of these – long enough that your legs don't rub against the saddle, but short enough to be stylish, as stylish as padded shorts can be. Hah. And they stay in place. The little credit card mesh pockets on the sides could be redesigned. Maybe a bit deeper or some sort of snap/velcro at the top. Somehow I didn't end up losing any cards, but way too many times I looked down after riding for a bit and realized I forgot to put them away and they were about 50% out of the pocket. So, if you're easily distracted, just don't use the pockets.

I should have listened to the other reviews because these definitely run small. I always wear a small for shorts and I have pretty thin legs so I didn't want the shorts to be loose. However they were much too tight and very uncomfortable, especially around the waist. Bummer cause they seem nice otherwise!

I ride mountain bikes and have lots of different types of shorts and pants. These are by far my favorite shorts. They are so comfy, never ride up or bunch up, and have plenty of cushioning. I also love the length, much more flattering than the traditional long women’s bike shorts. I am so glad I found these and have two pairs. I hope they keep making them forever! I normally wear a XS or Small, but ordered the Medium and they fit perfectly. Please order a size up! Backcountry has always been a great, reliable company to order from too.

Glad I read the review to size up. Never do I ever order a medium in anything. So happy I did with these shorts. In love. Hard to find 5 in shorts that don’t bunch and have great padding. These fit the bill. I’m 5’4” 125 and will be reordering more! Excellent customer service and fast shipping. Win!

I love these shorts for super long rides!!!!! I got a new saddle and that still wasn't enough so I purchased a pair of these and I refuse to wear anything else now!!! I'm ordering 4 more pairs!!!!!!! I love the look also. I hate long grandma shorts and these are adorable!
