I've worn these on rides up to 35 miles. I love the print, the pockets, and the grippy rubber at the back of the shorts. I also like that I don't have the sausage leg effect because the leg bands aren't too tight. However, I just can't wear these. They stretch out and the leg bands ride up. I'd size down, but the print looks almost see-through it's so stretched out in the size I have. The color on the leg bands is already starting to wear away after 6 or so rides. To get through my last ride, I had to put bandaids over chafed skin on my inner thighs. The legs just won't stay put. I'm pear shaped, so the front of the waistband also rides way up and is practically under my boobs the longer I ride. My butt is chafed on longer rides. These shorts worked for about 20 miles but I don't trust them any further.
I've been eyeing this brand for awhile because of their unique designs. I finally got a pair and LOVED them. They look just like the images! My only issues in the fit. They are pretty loose all throughout... minus the elastic at the legs, but the waist and throughout the hips are all loose. I'm not sure how they'll hold up after a few washes, even with only air drying, but I at least have a fun pair of riding shorts.
I love these!! I’ve only had them a few days but so far they do not roll or ride up, they make me feel great because of the high waist, and the pockets can hold my phone and snacks! I got the pomegranate print in a size 6. For reference I’m 5’5.5”, ~150lbs and have a 29” waist and 38” hips. Other reviews said to size down which I could have done but I’m happy with the size I got.
