 Happy with these shorts, May 12, 2010
By D. Heath
|
|
As a beginner cyclist, these shorts made cycling go from unbearable to bearable. They have a decent amount of padding, and the length and feel are great. They stay in place well. The padding isn't too bulky, so I can comfortably run in them after cycling, which should make them great for a triathlon. For longer rides, I may lean towards something with more padding, but for now these work great. True to size, I usually wear size 10 pants and a Large in these shorts fits well.

 Great cycling shorts, July 31, 2010
By LGCnyc (New York, NY)
|
|
I've been wearing these in cycling classes and love them. The padding is comfortable and the elastic on the bottom of the legs prevents movement. They hit at about mid thigh. Waist is comfortable too. I wasn't sure about sizing, but I'm 5'6", 135lbs and I ordered a small. They fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

Good standard cycling short, April 28, 2010
By Odette (Austin, TX)
|
|
I just started spinning at the local gym. Got these and they are a good standard, pretty much exactly as I imagined them. Fit is true to size and the legs have grips on the bottom so they do not ride up. Overall, a good purchase! (I got another cheaper pair also and those I did not like as much)

 good, not amazing., November 8, 2010
By WI Yogini (Madison, WI)
|
|
I bought these shorts because of the many positive reviews and the reasonable price point. I do a 1hr spin class 2x/week and go for 25-35 mile bike rides on the weekends when the weather permits (may - november, here in WI).
For the price, I'd say these shorts are well constructed and good quality though nothing special. After 25 miles my sits bones start aching a bit but i have had no issues with chafing. I have another pair of Pearl iZumi shorts from about 6 years ago and I think the sizing has gotten a little smaller since then. My other shorts are size small and fit the same as these in size medium. Maybe the older ones are just stretched out... Additionally, the inseam of these shorts is a bit longer than i'd like. I'm 5'10" and they land about 4" above my knee.
Bottom line: i get a good amount of use out of these, but i probably would not buy them again.

Comfy and very stretchy, May 7, 2011
By Sharon
|
|
Let's just say I'm quite well proportioned, and so always having difficulty finding a product in which "large" actually means that. These are nice, stretchy, comfy knicks, and the padding didn't cause any issues from new. The waist was high enough, and the leg bands were firm without being tight. They actually are a little bit longer than I expected, and the lycra feels more stretchy than my previous versions, but overall exactly what I wanted. My old PI's are over 10 years old, not sure these will survive that long, but the brand is definitely one of the better quality makes I've come across.

like sitting on a cloud!, August 3, 2011
By Amazon-aholic (PA USA)
|
|
Just got these shorts Monday (8/1/11) and tried them out for the first time Tuesday (8/2/11). Prior to wearing any padded shorts, my butt hurt extremely bad after riding...it would be sore for days...wore these padded shorts on a 20-mile ride yesterday and my butt felt like I was sitting on a fluffy cloud! Going over bumps was a breeze.
My only complaint is that, pardon my languange, my crotch still went numb...but not as bad as when I didn't have on padded shorts...
These will take a little getting used to for me when you aren't actually riding but rather just walking around because it feels funny but I'm extremely glad I bought them! Can't wait to test them out on longer rides.

Great shorts, perfect fit and padding, July 28, 2011
By ThomShap (almost RI, USA)
|
|
So I was riding in bike shorts I purchased back in 1985 that had actual chamois for padding. Though this was good for wiping down my car after I washed it, it was not so good for protecting my lady parts when riding. Enter the PI Quest short. I like everything about these shorts. The padding protects my nether regions without making me feel like I'm wearing Pampers and is sufficient both in back and in front, which is where I had more of an issue. The leg gripper keeps them in place without pinching and adding that attractive leg bulge that so often comes with riding shorts. They also run true to size - I wear an 8 in pants and the medium fits well. I wear them regularly on my commuting rides which are 10-12 miles. I imagine on longer rides, you would start to feel your seat a lot more and would want a more heavily padded short, but for short and medium distance rides (I've taken them up to about 20 miles so far) these are perfect. In fact I bought a second pair so I can still have a clean pair when one is in the wash.

50 miles today!, April 9, 2011
By Pamela Wang
|
|
I ride a Trek men's road bike, so the saddle is more narrow than WSD. Biked 50 miles today in low 50's degrees without a problem. I wore cheap leggings over these. First time wearing padded bike shorts and I was really surprised. It does wick away moisture and the chamois was dry to the touch afterwards. No chafing and no butt butt'r needed. My cotton t-shirt under the jacket was soaked through. My hip bones in the rear are just a little sore, but this is 6 hours through park hills and metropolitan areas. I felt they helped my posture and greatly extended my riding time. Pearl Izumi is a solid brand in cycling. The fabric of the chamois extends a little down between the legs, so it doesn't cut into you while you're moving. What amazon doesn't say, is that it's part of PI's "Select" series (affordable), temperature range of 32-104 F and moisture transfer of 3.2/5, 13mm (3 layers) variable density padding, for 1-5 rides a week. Amazon sells PI apparel for fantastic prices.
I'm 5'6", 128 lbs with narrow hips. I'm a pants/dress size 0 or 2 at Banana Republic. I ordered a small and it fits great. I'd trust the sizing info measurements. I reaches about an inch from my belly button, so it's high, but it didn't affect my breathing and it's super stretchy. It's my first time ordering apparel online. Overall, really happy.

Great shorts!, July 31, 2011
By thykarmabenill

These fit great. True to size, feel great. The smaller design of silicone grippers is great-- they don't chafe my legs as much as the solid around the leg designs of other cycle shorts do.

I'm pleased, April 13, 2011
By A. Landers
|
|
I got these fast - great shipping. The one downside, if you could call it that, is that a larger version of the logo is right on the bum.
I love longer shorts, and these are right above my knees (I'm 5'4). The sizing was also perfect for me, although they run a little bit on the larger side. The price is great for the quality; as others have said, the waist does not roll nor do the legs slide up. The padding is also of high quality. They are comfortable and I'm quite pleased.
I have a pair of cycling shorts that are worth twice as much and these are comparable. The only real difference is the overall material - this is your standard bike short material. My expensive pair are a little soft. (That may not matter to some people, but I just happen to prefer that). But there is no WAY I could have gotten these at a local store for the price I got on amazon. I hope to purchase another pair in the future.

comfortable, great quality and fit, December 24, 2010

Provides some padding,is a quality product. Had to order a size larger than usual (small instead of extra small) as the extra small was too tight and uncomfortable. These are just right.

Seem Nice, But They Run Very Small!, August 31, 2011
By ebuyer (Chicago, IL)
|
|
I haven't had a chance to ride with these shorts yet; the padding seems like it will be quite comfortable. I'm just aggravated by the inaccurate size charts that Amazon has. If you order these, order a size up. I also checked the Pearl Izumi size chart on their web site, and I'd say it's not accurate either, at least not for this model. I have the measurements to fit a size small, according to their chart, but I need a medium...so of course it's a pain in the butt and extra expense to have to exchange via mail order. So much for the savings. They seem like good shorts, but don't order your real size, go one up, and they'll fit you better.

My "Go-To" Cycling Shorts, September 6, 2011
By Brenda F. Bell
|
|
Inexpensive, generous fit, and a pair of shorts I can pick up off the rack if I need a new pair in a pinch. I'm short, squat, and pear-shaped, and a D+/C- mid-distance rider (usual training ride 15-30 miles). The longer leg and grippers are comfortable over my heavy thighs.
I find Pearl Izumi is one of the best fitting brands for me, and their entry level line is sufficient for my skill level. That said, advanced riders may find the chamois a bit thick for their preference, and (on older versions of this model), insufficiently articulated.
For new riders, this is a great first pair of shorts, at a great price.

My favorite shorts, June 2, 2011

I'm only into my second year of riding, so still fairly new to the cycling world. These shorts have very quickly become my favorite. The padding, size and length are perfect.

Great fit, September 9, 2011
By A Customer
|
|
These shorts are a great fit - the leg grips hold nicely and the chamois so far seems very comfortable.
I use these for short training rides and spin classes - though will probably stick with my Pearl Izumi bib shorts for my longer (~100km) rides.
I find the Pearl Izumi shorts true to size - if anything maybe a touch generous. I'm an AUS size 10 and the Pearl Izumi small fits very well.

Pretty good, August 21, 2011
By M. Coughlan
|

I thought this was a pretty good riding short. I am by no means a hard core rider, but picked these up for a long ride. They fit well (I went with the large, I'm 5'1, 165 lbs. ) and eased the discomfort of a long ride.

comfy, September 14, 2011
By kathleen

These are great cycling shorts. they don't ride up, the elastic at the legs is comfortable. The fit is true to size and the padding is helpful, though my butt still gets sore from riding too far or too long. Overall, a good buy and I will get more. I wear an 18-20 and the women's XXL were perfect.
They washed well too.

Just buy them, September 2, 2011
By k07cd02
|
|
For the price and quality, just buy them already. If you are thinking about purchasing them, do it. I have recently become a road cyclist starting at the beginning of this summer. I had one pair of shorts, and really needed a second pair. As a graduate student I was only looking to spend around $30 for a new pair. The other shorts that I have cost about the same as these, but are no where near as good. These shorts stay put, are padded in all the right places and are true to size. A great purchase!

There ok, June 23, 2011
By Annyanka (Puerto Rico)
|

They are padded, which is great. I they look like they are durable and well built. But I can still feel the bicycle seat under me, which is bad because he bicycle seat itself has a very thick cover. If I would have had more money I would have purchase the shorts that follow this one on the series.

Helped with sore butt syndrome, May 13, 2011
By heartransplants
|
|
I bought these shorts to use for the upcoming ride from Rosarito to Ensenada. Though that is tomorrow, I took them on a test ride yesterday. After 20 miles my butt was feeling pretty good until I got off my bike. Truth is, after a bumpy street ride, your tush is always going to be sore. But these shorts helped, because the after effects are normally much worse.
For the price and quality, so worth it.

Pretty good for a ride, September 11, 2010
By LotsaPets
|
|
I like the pants, especially the fact that padding is not too thick, but still helpful on long rides. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is that rubber trim on the bottom is very sticky, little itchy and leaves red marks on my legs. I have other bike pants (without the rubber trim) and can tell that it's not necessary to keep them from riding up. Other than that - not bad at all.

perspective is everything, December 2, 2011
By Work in Progress (new orleans, la)
|
|
Given all the variations in body style, riding terrain, bike setup, etc., it can be hard to review a product such as this in a way that will be helpful for everyone.
Compared to the Canari gel liner shorts I had been using previously, I am much happier with these. But I suspect there is probably a more expensive pair of padded shorts out there that I would love even more than these. But I am not yet willing to spend money on those, so I am going to stay with these for a while.
Also to consider is the seat being used. I have an Avenir 100 women's road saddle. The combination of those two keeps me comfortable on my regular 10 to 15 mile rides. I believe it takes the right combination of saddle and shorts to make for the most comfortable ride. If you have these shorts and you are miserable while riding, consider the saddle you're riding on (along with the setup of the bike--seat height, handlebars, etc.)
These shorts do run long, which I like. I also like the grippers on the leg--they keep the shorts in place but are not uncomfortable and don't chafe. The seat padding feels great on my sit bones, but I wish there were more padding in the front (the nether region, as some would call it).
The shorts are comfy to wear and they have been a great improvement over the very basic shorts I had been using. I would recommend these to someone who doesn't want to spend a whole lot of money but needs substantial cushion for rides.
Update: Yesterday I took a ride but wore my gel liner shorts instead of these Pearl Izumi shorts. I could tell a huge difference in the comfort! It was through a ride in a pair of inferior shorts that I was able to realize how wonderful these Pearl Izumi shorts are! Now I don't ever want to ride without them!

Good for what they are, October 8, 2011
By A Customer
|
|
I was excited to hear other reviewers say that these were a bit long and thought I'd finally found a short that'd be modest. These don't disappoint. At less than 5'4" these hit just above the knees. I find they do ride up a bit on the thigh while riding, but don't require extreme adjustment. The padding is placed correctly forward enough for a woman. After about 15 miles, I would prefer these to have more padding. For rides shorter than that, they are great. The waist is comfortable as is the material.

Much better ride now, October 6, 2011
By A Customer
|
|
Thought about it for awhile before I bought these shorts. After all seemed like a lot of $$ for shorts but they have made a big difference in the comfort of my ride. I wear a size ten but bought large due to previous comments and medium might have been better. I'm really not sure how tight they are supposed to be. I think the elastic above the knees might have been too tight in medium but the shorts pull on very easily. (are they supposed to?)
My old denim shorts rode up and got soaking wet with sweat. I was afraid the padding in the seat would look and feel like a full diaper but it doesn't. My rear is a lot less sore after the 14 miles that I ride 4 times a week.
Yep, I'm happy with them. Hope they hold up.

Great for spin class, June 26, 2011
By J.Shearer (Baltimore, MD USA)
|
|
I tried 3 spin classes and was about to call it quits because I couldn't stand the soreness from the seat. I decided to give padded shorts a try and got these. What a difference it makes! I'm usually a size 6 and the medium fits very well. I also really like the length. At 5'6", they fall about 3 inches above my knee so there's no chaffing that can happen when inner thighs rub the seat. I can't speak for longer rides because I generally use these for about an hour at a time, but for that, they are great.

By terriperi (NJ, United States)

I have a pretty good saddle but was looking for just a bit extra padding. I tried a gel seat cover but it was too much. These padded shorts are just perfect and the fit is extremely nice. For sizing, I'm 5'10", 147 and the medium is perfect

Does the trick!, April 11, 2012
By riverdalegirl
|
|
If you're experiencing chafing in all the wrong places, consider these. I'm using them happily for both spin class and 20-mile+ bike rides, and these shorts allow me to do so without the accustomed soreness. They don't ride up. The padding/cushioning seems slim but is well-placed and does the trick without adding uncomfortable bulk. I'd give them a 5 if they didn't have the PI logo on the back left bum. If you're an extra large like me (and well-endowed in the nether regions), you'll be reminded whenever you look in the mirror and see the logo stretched out disproportionately! The thigh logo is fine, but the additional logo on the bum most of us could probably live without.

Much better than expected., September 14, 2011
By Linda E. Dewey MD (Michigan, USA)
|
|
I was apprehensive buying "padded biking shorts", having never bought anything like this before,...even directly from a store after trying one on. But when I got these, they fit like a glove!! I used the sizing table given, using my exact measurements. (If you haven't recently and carefully measured yourself, you may want to do this before picking your size.) I was also worried about being able to wear them under other pants, jeans, etc. I'm not a "professional biker", I simply use my bike to run errands, e.g., buy groceries, etc, (but I ride several miles almost every day.) I've only tried jeans so far, but they are fantastic, and I couldn't even tell I was wearing them when looking in a mirror. So far, they seem to be holding up well, and I have used them at least ten times. Highly recommended.
I forgot to mention how comfortable they are, both while biking and while walking. They don't "ride up", or feel too tight. As the weather gets colder, I'm sure these will keep me warmer as well!

Exactly meets my modest expectations, July 28, 2011
By lj
|
|
These shorts get the job done. You won't win any points for style while wearing them, but if your goal is not to wince in pain every time your bike goes over a crack in the pavement, these shorts do the trick.
They fit comfortably, although it takes a little adjustment each time to get the padding in the right spot. The legs stay in place without being too tight, although they do leave marks from the textured rubber at the bottom of the legs. At 5'8", I find the length acceptable, hitting about 6-7 inches above the knee, although some may find this too long.
The waistband comes up fairly high (to my bellybutton) and is somewhat ugly. I would not wear these shorts without a shirt to cover the waistband.
Overall, if you're going for function at a reasonable price, these shorts are perfectly adequate.

Great for the price, July 26, 2011
By adt78

This is the first pair of bike shorts I have bought and so far they are working really well. I ride about 15 miles at a time 3 days per week and they have definitely made the ride more comfortable. The material that they are made out of is pretty slick and I feel like I am sliding more on the seat but I am not sure if this is how all these types of shorts are made. Otherwise the fit is great and they don't ride up. I would reccomend these shorts for the average bike rider.

AN EXCELLENT PAIR OF CYCLING SHORTS!, July 24, 2011
By LOVE TO READ (Florida)
|
|
This is my second pair of Pearl iZUMi Women's Quest Cycling Shorts. These are the best shorts around. I'm sure there are better shorts for a lot more money, but these shorts are a great deal. Sounds contradictory I know. They are true to size and extremely comfortable. The padding in the seat is in the right place, and I can ride for 25 miles without any discomfort. That has been my longest ride so far. I'm sure I could ride much farther with these shorts if I wanted to. I have not had any trouble with the seams, they have nice bands around the legs so that the shorts do not ride up, and they reach about four inches above my knee cap...that makes for better coverage for women that prefer that. You will not be disappointed if you buy a pair of these shorts. I will be purchasing more of them.

These cycling shorts are a good fit at a good price for fun riding. Very pleased that all my online research led me to Pearl iZUMi at Amazon. The Quest allows me to log 6 miles a day in functional comfort. The size is just right and the cushioning is great. Another aspect I appreciate is the cycling shorts wash well! Wish I bought two of them!

They are a great quality cycle/spin shorts. A little long on the thighs, but otherwise awesome! I liked them so much I ordered a second pair.

Great Shorts, June 23, 2011
By Tiffany Whitten (dayton, ohio)
|
|
I ride about 100 miles a week and I just love these shorts. I'm not a super cyclist and I don't have a ton of money to spend on my gear. I'd previously purchased some Performance brand shorts and they were awful. This is night and day difference.
The padding is perfect and in combination with my Brooks seat, I'm very comfortable and good to go for long rides.
They never ride up or down, they fit perfectly and they breath very well. If you're going to a destination, you may want to bring something to change into though. I rode to work wearing these once and didn't change out of them... sitting on a chair with them on for several hours really had the leg lining digging into my skin and I kept having to adjust them to pull them away from my thighs. Of course, they're designed for riding, not sitting around in ;)

Very comfortable!, June 20, 2011

I recommend these for anyone wanting to ride their bike for longer than 5 minutes. They are extremely comfortable. I will be buying more of these in the future.

This product was just what I expected. The Pearl izumi biking shorts are the best brand I have found. I am doing Ragbrai and wouldn't think of getting on my bike with out this brand of shorts on. They are well worth the money.

great shorts, June 16, 2011
By L. Wilkerson (Colbert, GA United States)
|
|
these slid right on! usually, cycle shorts and tights require a little "working" to get positioned... not with these. Material is good, length is good, chamois could be a little more woman friendly as I like in other brands like SheBeest.
A great short overall.

Very comfortable, they do not ride up and are very good at keeping you cool. The chamis was a new one for me but it works well and now I can't bike ride without one! haha definitely recommend and they are very fairly priced.

I bought these to wear when riding my dirt bike and they worked great! I was worried about the sticky edges at the bottom of the legs chaffing me but no problem. They worked great! The fit was just perfect. I ordered a small, I wear a size 4/5 pants and the small was just right.

Great First Pair, May 10, 2011
By Julia B.
|
|
These Pearl iZUMi cycling shorts are the first cycling shorts I've ever had, and I must say that I like them very much! They are very cushy and comfortable. The strips at the bottom of the legs are great, and I haven't had any problems with them riding up. I am 5'4", 125 lb, and I got the S. I almost ordered the XS, but I'm glad I didn't because the S is a perfect fit. I'm sure they aren't the most comfortable shorts in the world, but 1) they are $40, and for that price they are great, and 2) I ride fixed gear, so my positioning on my bike is different from most road and touring bikes.
All in all, great buy. Recommended this deal to all my friends.

Buying another!, May 8, 2011
By jerselv

These are great for spin class. The padding is breathable, much better than the gel padded shorts that I have from a different brand. I also bought a pair of liner bike shorts from the same brand but prefer these since I don't need to wear shorts over them.

Good shorts, great price, April 12, 2011
By nkd
|

Same shorts as available at our local bike shop for a bout $15 less. Good padding and great fit. Order was filled and received very promptly. In case the product description does not say, these shorts do not have a drawstring. Not an issue because they fit very well, but if you are expecting a drawstring, this model of iZUMi shorts does not have it.

Great bike shorts, September 25, 2010
By Kathy Dang

I love these shorts. I wear them everyday since I'm training for the triathlon. They fit true to size, the elastic around the thighs prevents the shorts from riding up, and they're comfortable during the ride.

These are my NEW favorite cycling shorts, August 27, 2010
By I Love Oregon (TALENT, OR)
|
|
I'm 55 years old and ride more than 100 miles a week, so the fit of my shorts is very important. These shorts are just the right length for me (don't like the real short ones), fabric is great weight (not thin), the rise in front is a little short compared to my other "medium" shorts, but works perfectly for my short-waisted body type. The leg grips don't slip at all, even when sweaty. The pad is a medium thickness compared to other shorts, and I don't like a thick pad.

Amateur Biker LOVES these shorts!, June 7, 2010
By Boplee
|
|
I do not know too much about biker shorts...so it was a little hard for me to purchase my first pair. I really liked this pair for the price. So I figured, something had to be wrong with it compared to the $80 and $150 pairs! But it seemed fine! I've used it about three times and I bike to work everyday. I have a boys bike with no cushioned seat (my next purchase) and the shorts make such a difference! I bike about 18 miles a day and they are really comfortable :) They are a little tight around the thighs (but that may just be me) :) Also, it looks like regular shorts, it doesn't even seem like there is a chamois. I saw some people running a race with these shorts.

These pants are fairly sturdy but could be padded a little more. The length is good and the product was mailed very quickly.

Nice but one personal complaint, July 18, 2011
By Gina Lewis
|
|
I am a beginner cyclist. This was the first pair I've purchased and I was pleased with everything except the length. They seem to be very long. I'd prefer it if they were slightly shorter in length otherwise they are very comfortable while riding.

These shorts are perfect. Fit is just my size. I wear them to spinning class now, but will use them this summer while cycling. Very comfortable! This review is under my husbands name, but this is written by his wife as they were for me.

I bought this item last month. I was sent the male version, but was able to exchange them without any problems.
They fit well, with just enough padding. I bought size medium. It was true to it's size and not too snug.

Just what I needed., January 12, 2012
By Cindyblue
|
|
I bought a pair of these in June to wear on long motorcycle rides. I ride as a passenger on my husbands' touring motorcycle. It gives me that extra cushioning I was looking for. I wash these in the machine, then hang them to dry. I find them comfortable & so far they look as good as when I bought them. We go out frequently, so they have gotten many washings & wearings. I would definitely buy them again.

These shorts were a good price and seem to be good quality. However, they were too long for my preference. Also, the cuff was tight - not too uncomfortable but unsightly! I bought the capris and like them MUCH better.

By LittleSureShot

Great cycling shorts. I bought this shorts for spin class, it has great cushion. The con for this shorts would be the thick padding, uncomfortable to walk around. Might be difficult to run in. I did not try because it was uncomfortable to walk. But overall, great shorts for cycling.

I really love these shorts! I bought them for spin classes. The length is perfect- not too short or long, and they have the right amount of cushion. I tried on several Pearl Izumi shorts, but found these to be the best for me. I now own 3 pairs!

These shorts are very comfortable. The elastic on the waist and the legs do not restrict as some exercise shorts do. The sizing is true, the material and ribbing is soft on your skin. I like these shorts a lot and would recommend it.

Pretty good, May 13, 2011
By Melanie Dalpias (Cullowhee, NC)
|
|
These shorts are great for the price. They don't wiggle or bunch during long rides. However the fit is a bit off for me. I'm 5'3 so they are very long, also I purchased a medium based on the measurements given and I wish I had gotten a small, the inseam and rise are very long.
Next time I'll buy PI's shorter version.

Great fit, great comfort, great value, December 27, 2010
By Richard V Franzen
|

These were for my girlfriend, and I bought a medium pair for myself (33ish waist) and we both love them after doing several MTB rides (some light singletrack). Great fit, great quality and great amount of comfort for the dollars spent; we were both very satisfied. Honestly we're both going to have a very hard time buying shorts at the LBS for a while now since we found something we both like so much for such a great price.

Great cycling short, May 21, 2012
By canohio

Fit is true to size with substantial padding for indoor spinning and 20+ mile bike rides. Legs and waist are snug but not uncomfortably tight on my lean frame. Legs stay in place without rolling at a good length. Machine wash and line dry without any problems. Good quality, no areas that pinch or rub. Definitely recommend.

Love Them, May 21, 2012
By Victoria G. (Peoria, AZ, US)
|
|
I wore these for the first time today and love them. I am usually just a little saddle-sore after a long ride, even with bike shorts. I was surprised that with these I felt none of my usual discomfort after the ride. These have a nice amount of padding in all the right places. They are very comfortable and I will definitely buy these again.

Comfortable, well made, good buy., May 18, 2012
By Aardvaark
|

I've made the mistake of buying cheap bikes shorts in the past - if poorly made, the chamois and seams will make for a miserable ride. Pearl Izumi makes good quality bike products and these shorts are no exception - I bought them a month ago and have put more than 100 miles on them without complaints. They're comfortable and well made and have quickly become my favorite pair. A great deal for the price.
