MEN's Pro Bike Shorts Cycling Bicycle Biking XLARGE BLACK

I ordered these after purchasing new Pearl Izumi shorts for over $60. Granted the PI shorts have nicer padding - but the difference is really not that much - these shorts are great for my commute riding (10+ miles each way).

I have never worn bike shorts before so I didn't know what to expect and because I don't ride evey single day, I didn't see the point of spending a ton of money. These shorts feel great and ride very well. They are comfortable, don't bunch up in the seat and the pad that comes with it feels great when riding. I would recomend these to a novice or a seasoned rider. Another feature is these shorts have the recomended eight panel construction; an important feature to look for. All in all, great price comfortable ride.

I bought two pair, largely on the strength
of these excellent reviews. No complaints
at all...fit well, wick well, look fine, and all
at a very reasonable price.

My first pair of bike shorts. Product is well made and size is true. Pad is a bit stiff, but it distributes the saddle load well. I have since purchased two additional shorts from different manufacturers. In comparison, this pair is average. Nashbar shorts (about the same price point) breathe/wick moisture better, however, the chamois is less padded. Pearl Izumi shorts have good padding and wick moisture well, however, cost more than double. I live in Hawaii, ave temp high 80's, so moisture control is important.

I am a total beginner when it comes to biking, but I do have some experience in running (ten marathons, including Boston). I think that the best compliment I can give to a piece of athletic clothing is that once I start, I don't have to think about it until it's time to take it off and hit the showers. These shorts certainly fit the bill for me. I have done rides of up to 38 miles in these shorts, and I love them. In the past couple of months I have tried some other bike shorts in local retail stores, and nothing seems to compare to these in comfort unless you at least double the price.
Thank you for reading.
