Sizing Notes

Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements. Some women's pants are available in petite and tall sizes. Typically petite sizes fit women 4'11" to 5'3". Regular sizes fit women 5'4" to 5'8". Tall sizes fit women 5'9" to 5'11".

PETITE: Generally, as compared to regular sizes, petite sizes are 2.5 inches shorter in inseam, 1 inch shorter in body length, 1.25 inches shorter in sleeve length and ¾ inch shorter in total rise.

TALL: tall sizes are 3 inches longer in inseam, 2 inches longer in body length, 2.5 inches longer in sleeve length and 1.25 inches longer in total rise.

Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Inseam is measured to the floor.

Best value in tights
GrumpyOwl
3 years ago
How have I not discovered these already? The best value I've been able to find in cycling bottoms. They're comfortable and well made. Better than brand-name tights that cost twice as much. Best of all, they run true to size and are cut with hips in mind. In other words a "large" is really a large. It's not like buying certain well known cycling apparel brands and discovering that even a "large" is a tight fit on someone who normally wears a medium (I'm looking at YOU, brand whose initials are P.I.). I knew these tights were special the first time I tried them on in the fitting room and didn't hate the sight of myself in the mirror!

Comfortable tights, not much padding
jesst
2 years ago
The tights are comfortable--not too loose, not too tight. The padding isn't the best for me, but I could see that it might work for some people. My sit bones are fairly wide, and I find that there's almost no padding where my sit bones meet the saddle, but there's a lot of thicker padding higher up in the back where it's not touching the saddle. I'm mostly using these for 40-60 minute rides on the indoor trainer. I wouldn't take them out on a longer ride because it gets painful without enough padding. As a comparison, I have the REI Link padded liner in the same size and the padding is much better for me.

My favorite bike pants!

2 years ago

My favorite bike pants! This is the second pair of these pants I have bought. cheaper and just as comfortable as the big name cycle pants. They cover my knees so there is no weird tan line. Also less worry about scraped knees, etc. Must note that I am petite and I have these in medium.

GREAT bike capris

Chamois is great, love the side pockets. Form fitting, but not tight. I wear a size 26 jeans and the small is perfect.

Great tights for the price

2 years ago

For the price, these tights are top notch. Comparable to the LG Neo Power knickers, but at a much lower price point. They are comfortable on both my road and touring bike. The pockets are a nice touch. The chamois, which is often an issue at lower price points, is excellent. The fabric is comfortable, but one does end up with an unfortunate sweat mark after longer rides. That "I just wet my pants" look is the only reason for four stars instead of five. Perhaps go with solid black rather than the "black heather" for the next round? They are on the longer side of 3/4 length, so keep that in mind if you're really short, or expecting something that hits just below the knee.

SOOO Disappointed!

2 years ago

The junction shorts are my favorite and I was looking forward to these as a longer version for cooler weather. Fit and comfort were great, but not quality, First time out, they wore through on the inner thigh. I figured it must be a fluke, so returned them and got another pair. SAME thing, after only 5 miles! Obviously, they were rubbing against something on my bike. (Maybe the velcro band around the seat post from my repair kit bag?) HOWEVER, I have ridden thousands of miles on the same bike with nary a problem with my junction shorts, or any of the other shorts or tights I have worn over the years. I cannot recommend these due to the poor quality of the materials used.

Great Spring/Fall tights

3 years ago

I tried these because I found them in the REI Garage Sale at 50% off with a small blemish. I’m so happy with the fit, comfort and quality that I will buy another at full price. The chamois is comfortable and like all chamois softens up a bit after a couple washes. Another positive about the chamois, it is black rather than a light color. I didn’t think I would use the pockets, but found they fit my phone and it stayed securing in place on a two hour mountain bike ride. This is a great buy compared to similar products.

Good product, here's some sizing info

3 years ago

I've got the shorts, pants, and now the knickers in this product. Perfect weight for most days cycling where I live. Good cut. I ordered the medium (5'6" and 135 lbs) and the small, and have a athletic/ curvy hip body, and the medium was the best fit in this (have small in the shorts and pants).

Great for long tour! Wore these every day for 6 1/2 weeks while cycling through Ireland France and finally Spain. They dried reasonably quickly and I never had any issues with discomfort or chafing. The last part of my trip (2 1/2 weeks) I was hiking through the Pyrenees and actually found these were very comfortable to hike in too. The side pockets were perfect for keeping my phone accessible. My only complaint I now need the next size smaller! 🤣

Feels like more expensive tights

3 years ago

These tights surpassed my expectations. They fit very nicely, feel more expensive than they are, don't ride up or fall down. The pockets are awesome, I felt confident leaving my phone in a pocket during a 90 min MTB ride. I rode in the cold (low 30s) and paired these with long knee high socks -- even though the material isn't thick, I was plenty warm.
