I've been riding exclusively with these shorts for about a month now and have logged 100+ miles. As a side note - I am using them with the My Alibi Clothing Bloomer Chamois Shorts which is a killer combo. Here's the breakdown on the good, the bad, and the plain old facts.
What I Like:
- Shorter inseam than most baggy shorts. My husband affectionately refers to these as my "booty shorts" (note - for long climbs/high mileage this slowly turns into a negative, as they can ride up slightly causing my thighs to touch the saddle)
- Wicked lightweight fabric that dries suspiciously quickly, but in the meantime people may or may not think you've peed your pants
- Snap closure - Yay! I have a history of destroying regular buttons and their shitty thread
- 2 large hand pockets (considering the shorter inseam) and 1 zippered right/rear pocket. The zipper pocket is pretty much only good for a car key, energy gel, or that old Motorola Krzr in your junk drawer.
What I Can't Stand:
- Camel toe - let's be honest
- Shorter inseam (told you) won't accommodate all liner/chamois shorts, so be sure to look into this
- I am a size 10 and take a size Large - which leaves me frustrated, yet again, with the outdoor industry for not offering larger sizes. Chicks who ride bikes have big thighs!
Techy Things:
- Gusseted crotch so you don't split your pants!
- Abrasion resistant and lightweight PowerWeaveTM material
- 6" inseam
Thanks for stopping by! I would love to get some more feedback from other ladies on these shorts, feel free to comment below!
