      Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Bike Shorts - Men's:

      I've had trouble with many other shorts concerning comfort, especially on rides over 40 or 50 miles. The Pearl Izumi Attack shorts are far superior to any other short I've tried. If you've had trouble with comfort and fit in the chamois, your troubles are over with the Pearl Izumi 3D Race Chamois. I mostly train for centuries and charity rides in Colorado. Now I have trouble with catching my breath instead of "pain in the saddle!" Thank you Pearl Izumi!!

      Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Bike Shorts - Men's:

      I bought these short in an XL, only to find out I needed a L. Not really that big of a deal. The waist fits fine since it's elastic, but the length is a little too long. If I had bought a Large, the waist might have been a little tight.

      With the wrong choice of size aside, the chamois in these shorts are excellent. The padding is thicker than my Performance Century shorts, but it does not feel bulky or "diaper-ish". They might be more expensive that generic brands, but the padding alone is well worth it. It went for a typical 25 mile ride and felt like I was sitting on the couch all day.

        Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Bike Shorts - Men's:

        So far so good. I haven't had these shorts a long time but they feel awesome and the fabric is thick enough that they appear durable. Seams and construction are well made. But the chamois! Outstanding. Prior to buying these, I had sworn by another brand and model that I felt like was my "best short ever"--a tall order since I have 20 years of significant cycling experience. Suddenly these are my new favorites.

          Own three pairs of PI Attack shorts and ride in them almost exclusively on up to 300K rides. Only shorts that I've found that the XXL isn't too small. 6'3" 240lb former rower - not all of us are 140-170lb bike racers - nice to find something that fits and is so comfortable.

          Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Bike Shorts - Men's:

          I commute to work daily during the summer (hot here in Texas) while my kids are out of school. When I can't commute, I try to get out 2-3 nights a week for a good hour of hard cycling. I bought these after I got a pair of Sugoi Evotech. The materials of these is much nicer and I really like the fit and feel. The pad is quite comfortable, but seems to move around a bit more than that of the Sugois. Not a deal-breaker but just something to note. I'd buy these again.

            This review is for a pair I bought last spring.

            The only real pair of bike shorts I've ever owned. I tried novara bike boxers first and they don't work as well as these.

            I'm not a spandex, bike short kind of person. I always wear a pair of shorts, like basketball shorts, over them.

            They're comfortable and provide a good amount of padding. They fit snug with enough stretch.

            I've used them about 40-50 times with 40-50 washes and they have held up well. Will use them all this summer too.

              I have two of these and find them a great choice for recreational cycling. I've worn Pearl Izumi shorts for a long time and have never had a problem. They look good and hold up to lots of use. I'd totally recommend. I wouldn't recommend anything more hi-tech unless you need something lighter and don't mind paying over $100 for spandex.

                i've used these for commuting 17 miles round trip daily for a few months this summer. fit is right, w/ drawstrings if needed, padding is excellent, very comfortable, very aerodynamic & they look good. i will continue to wear them into the fall. i returned other manufacturer's shorts & bought a total of 4 of these! basically, these shorts, like all pearl izumi products i've worn, are simply outstanding!

                    Great short for my daily commute of 18 miles. No chafing, and the chamois is plenty comfortable.
                    I have a 33" waist, 34" inseam, a height of 6'2" and the L fits fine. I wear them down to about 45 degrees.
