Most comfortable of all my bike shorts

I bought these for a multiday bike ride along with 3 other bike shorts of other brands. So nice to wear these which are made for women and not so tight on the waist. I’m an experienced rider, 140lbs and 5’6” and wore size 10 without any issues. I also liked that they were cooler than my other bike shorts.

Cute but not it

I wanted to love these! The pattern is such a cute change from the standard black and navy, they have some snack pockets, and they seemed to have good grips. I took one ride and returned them, however - the fabric under the chamois started ripping (yes after one 20 mi ride), the grippy legs are not grippy after all and rode up my legs, and the fabric around the lower tummy/crotch bunches up annoyingly while you’re pedaling. I just can’t deal with all that when I know I have other brands of cycling shorts, some of which be I’ve had for years, that do none of that.

not worth the money

1 month ago

When I first got these I thought I was going to love them. They felt comfortable and the fabric is so cute. When I actually wore them on a ride that all changed. When I started to sweat the legs started riding up, rolling up, twisting around my leg when I tried to pull them down, fabric bunching up in the crotch, not staying in place AT ALL. Also, after only 2 rides I noticed that the fabric was getting badly worn in any place it got rubbed (the saddle, my backpack). I can't even believe how poor quality the fabric is. These are the worst padded shorts I have tried so far. Even the cheap $30 ones I got on Amazon are better. I am so disappointed.

Cute and good for shorter rides, that’s about it

1 month ago

I’ll start with the pros, because at first I really liked those shorts: - very comfortable, lightweight stretchy material that doesn’t suffocate. This is especially the case on the thighs - usually mine get cut off at the seams because my thighs are proportionally thicker than the rest of me. - very cute! I got the dark blue with lavender stripes. Always get compliments. The cons: - unfortunately the thigh bands don’t stay in place. They ride up and are very difficult to adjust back to flat/even. Taking them on and off for bathroom breaks makes this even worse. - The chamois just doesn’t do it after 25 or so miles. It’s quite thick, but that almost makes it worse somehow. I think I just prefer a thinner chamois but this one starts to rub and gives me saddle sores around 35 miles.

You won’t enjoy the ride as these legs ride up

1 year ago

I weigh 150 pounds 5’2 and I ordered a 6. When I tried these on, I was excited about the comfort. However, the shorts don’t offer any compression and the legs rode up. The last thing that I want to do is struggle pulling down my shorts on a ride.

My new fave!

1 year ago

Bought these shorts for a multi day bikepacking trip and they did not disappoint! I wore them for three days straight and they were quick drying from all my heavy sweating. They’re super comfortable and stayed in place! I’m normally a size 16 in pants and the 14 in the shorts were perfect, maybe even a little big. I hope to buy more of these. I hope they make more colors.

Really pretty and comfy, but hem rides up

1 year ago

I love the periwinkle blue color and floral design. The fabric is really comfortable and on the thinner side. I also love the high waist band and the grip along the back to prevent the waist band from falling down. The padding is not super thick, so it's comfortable. I normally wear a size 6, but the 4 fit me better. The only con for me is that the leg hem does ride up, but I don't mind pulling them back down. I will keep these because I love the color, design and comfy fabric.

The perfect purchase

1 year ago

I tried on at least 20 different Chammys and these were by far the best. Form fitting without pinching or riding up. Big booty and big thigh ladies rejoice, you can finally have the bike shorts you deserve! I am 5'6 roughly 165 lbs, went with a size 8.

Would not buy again

Wore these three times and the cuff started coming off. Could not return because it was past the return window. Would not buy again.
