            Comments about Terry Bella Bike Shorts - Women's:

            I guess I am in between a medium and a large. The waist is a bit big, I got the large, but the legs fit good. Love the extra height in the back so there is no gap between my shorts and tank - no sunburn! The chamois was just the right amount of padding where you need it. I'll be wearing these for an upcoming 60 miler. Once I trim those thighs down a bit a medium will fit nicely!

              Comments about Terry Bella Bike Shorts - Women's:

              Wow! I found a pair of bike shorts that fit and wick moisture well and feel light as a feather. I'm a petite 5' and regularly wear a size 8 pants so the medium shorts come to my belly button and fit fine. I tried the large but found that the legs were too loose. The grippers on the legs help the shorts stay put without binding and the waistband and padding are extremely comfortable for longer rides. There is no pocket on the shorts but I generally use my bike jersey anyway. If you're looking for a comfortable pair of shorts, you found them.

              I bought these shorts last season for 40-60 mile bike rides and they were great. In particular the waist is very comfortable. However over time the chamois is no longer as supportive as it was. So my Pearl Izumi Attack shorts are for the longer rides and these are for quick rides and spin class.

              Comments about Terry Bella Bike Shorts - Women's:

              I have the shorts and the knickers - I love booth, but have been using the knickers more to keep the knees warmed and minimize the mid-thigh tan line. I love the waistband, can pull up over the pooch for a flat tummy under those fitted cycling tops; forget low-rise! On the sizing - I am an 8-10 and the medium works for me. I bought a large once thinking it would be fine, but they were a tad too big. I also think the material on these shorts are quality - they hold everything in nicely, are comfy and look as good as a bike short can! Until someone gives (scared to shell out $100+ on an unknown) me another pair of shorts I like as much or more, I am happy to rock the Terry exclusively.

                  These are the best shorts I've ever worn. The wide nonelastic waistband makes them really comfortable, no pinching at the waist. They do seem to run small as I take an XL in these and L in other brands. I have tons of shorts but have to dig these out for almost every ride as they are so much nicer than the others.

                    I am very impressed with these shorts. I am in between a size 8 and size 10 so I ordered the large. They fit great. All I can say is if you have soreness in your sits bones, get a good bike fit, make sure you have the right size seat, and buy these shorts.

                      I finally decided to spend the money on a good pair of shorts. My butt is now spoiled.

                      Nice waistband - doesn't dig into your stomach and the fabric is so much smoother than cheap shorts!

                      These are "long" shorts, so check the inseam if you've got shorter legs and are concerned about tanlines.

                      Love these--I ride 100+miles a week and these are definitely my favorites for the longer rides (55+) and love the flat waist band. Other shorts I have are Pearl Izumi microsensor and cannondale and these are definitely the most comfortable and fashionable. Only con is no gel/key pocket. A bit on the slim fitting side so if in between go up.

                        I think the L size runs small - I started with a large which should have been fine for my size according to their measurment charts, but ended up returning for XL. The larger size was great - probably the most comfortable chamois I have ever used - not too bulky, but built in gel where you need it. Very soft lycra, and comfy waist band. I would buy again.

                        Service and delivery comments:

                        I ordered on-line and picked up at a store. The shorts were too small so I called customer service. Very helpful, sent me a new larger pair very quickly (to my home!). Said I could return the small shorts even though I rode in them. I still have to return the original pair to get my money back, but in the meantime I'm very happy!
