        LOVE these pants. They make a world of difference on my daily commute to work. The only thing for you to be aware of is I'm 5'8" with long legs and these come just past my knee so a bit shorter than the photo but that doesn't bother me...just an FYI if you are looking for something longer.

        This is my second pair of bike capris from Novara. I find these very versatile for both colder and warmer days. And they are very comfortable and breathable.

          Waistband minimizes muffin top, very comfortable. The legs do not ride up, they grip very nicely. Fabric is soft and comfortable. Try a pair.

            Pretty good product for the price. It runs slightly big and the wide waist makes it very comfy for anyone. Stays put while riding and it isn't for super warm weather but nice for cool sping & fall weather.

              Overall I like this product a lot. However, the padding seems to be misplaced a bit. Feels like it needs to be moved forward slightly. Sticks out in the back when standing. When riding need to feel more padding in crotch area.

                Comments about Novara Mezzo Capri Bike Tights - Women's:

                These are the first pair of bike shorts I have owned. I was warned that there are good bike shorts and there are useless ones. I stayed clear of the more ecenomical options for this reason. I found these to be great! very comfortable and good quality. The capri is nice instead of a short. Like most women I would perfer to cover the knees! Great purchase overall.

                    Comments about Novara Mezzo Capri Bike Tights - Women's:

                    I bought these at the beginning of the season because we started riding a lot earlier this year and I needed something more than just shorts. These fit the bill and are very comfortable. But like all lycra/spandex stuff, it can start to pill in some areas with frequent use and I also accidently put something with velcro in the wash that damaged the surface a bit. But they are still totally functional and I love wearing them. In fact, I prefer these to wearing my shorts with leg warmers.

                    On cold days, they are still not warm enough when we go down hill, but overall, I am still very happy with the purchase.
