Comments about Novara Rail Double Bike Shorts - Men's:
Nice shorts. Like others....I don't like riding around looking like I am in a race. I simply ride for fun, usually alone, I don't even own a proper "riding jersey"....t-shirts for me. Got addicted to shorts with a chamois, used to wear them under my board shorts when i'd ride...these are basically the same thing with some advantages and one small disadvantage. The padding did not feel quite as substantial when i first got on the bike...the one small disadvantage.... but after a few miles I honestly felt fine and was not "sore" at all during my first short 10mi ride in them, may have just been initial sensitivity from a ride yesterday since I am just starting up after some time off. The great thing is with the texture of the shorts and the integrated liner/padding, these feel much more comfortable overall than my old "shorts-over" method. The pockets are great, I am 100% happy with my purchase. If they tear apart after using them a few times I'll change my review....but they seem to have a pretty good reputation for durability...hopefully that proves true.
Size seems to be pretty accurate....and there is a velcro waist adjustment behind the elastic band in the back. When I first put mine on they felt tight but once I found the adjustment all was good. I thought I read a previous reviewer had issue with waist size and wanted adjustment....hopefully he found it.

Comments about Novara Rail Double Bike Shorts - Men's:
like Zoolander, these shorts are "really , really good looking". Great pockets. For the 99% of us that aren't racing the Pyranese, ditch the spandex and get some. Great for road, trail and bike path. And you won't look like a dork when you stop to buy a gatorade.
I have 2 suggestions though - take with a grain of salt because I totally disregarded the size chart I got an L out of habit (I'm 6'0, 33" waist). I prob should have got an M. That being said, the L's work for me and fit everywhere but the waist, but an internal belt or belt loops would give them a wider fit range.
Also I find the pad pretty darn bulky, definitely bigger than what you see in spandex road shorts. Again probably my fault for buying too big. Hopefully it will compress a bit.

Awesome Shorts!
Fit great, don't budge at all while riding.
Crotch doesn't catch when moving in front of or behind saddle. Look brand new after several wrecks.

Comments about Novara Rail Double Bike Shorts - Men's:
Best bike shorts I've owned. I've tried a few different baggy shorts, including Pearl Izumi, that weren't as comfortable as these. The sewn-in inner short stays put without feeling too tight, unlike those removable inner shorts that bunch up when you ride. The outer material is just the right combination of form-fitting and loose, and would make these shorts fine for longer rides.

Comments about Novara Rail Double Bike Shorts - Men's:
I ride to work everyday in New Orleans. These are comfortable, durable and deal with the nasty thick weather quite well. My only 'con' would be they only come in one color. If more were offered, I would buy more pairs no problem.

Comments about Novara Rail Double Bike Shorts - Men's:
I've been using these shorts now for a couple of years for my daily commute to work, (and sometimes further afield), and they have proven themselves to be a very worthy investment during that time.
The compression layer does a wonderful job of creating a flat surface with no "bunching", (of course you wear them "commando" style), and have plenty of absorbency to keep from chaffing.
They look good, in fact just like ordinary crew pants, so stopping off at a store shouldn't be an ordeal :).
All in all recommended.

Foam insert in shorts is far worse than nothing. Creates hotspots, sore spots, chafing. Makes ride a misery.
