    Comments about Zoic The Dose Bike Shorts - Men's:

    These shorts look nice and, at [$] less than comparable Novara shorts and [$] less than the nearest comparable shorts with a removable liner, they seem like a good deal. Do not be fooled, however, into thinking that they are even remotely worthwhile. The waist is adjustable via an elastic band that runs through the inside of the waistband and attaches via hook and loop to either hip. Within two blocks of my first ride in these shorts, the hook and loop on my right hip had come undone and the elastic band recoiled inextricably into the waistband. As a result, I was left with pants that were 6" too big and immediately fell off. This is a fatal design flaw in the shorts which renders them utterly worthless.

    • Waist:
    • Feels too big
    • Length:
    • Feels true to length

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Zoic The Dose Bike Shorts - Men's:

      I wear these shorts on the bike & off. Great for commuting since they look like any pair of Quik or Volcom shorts, but with removable liners and pockets where I want them. The rear zippered pockets are perfect. But consider a size larger if you're at the high end of the range, because they do shrink - I think this would address the other commenters concerns with the belt tabs.

      • Feels true to size

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Bamboo cotton fabric is amazing. Great environmental story. Waist is a little big but fit perfect after first wash and dry. I have had no problems with the belt so far.

      Comments about Zoic The Dose Bike Shorts - Men's:

      These shorts seemed promising but like the other reviewer, the waist belt retracted into itself 10 miles into my ride, resulting in the shorts falling off and leaving me in the liners. This product is not designed by anyone who actually uses the final product. You could push the belt back in and sew it down in the rear-middle so that the belt will not retract anymore but who buys a new product to then have to finish the manufacturing process at home? You are better off buying something a little more expensive. The Novara ones are pretty good.
