My husband loves these
I bought a pair of these for my husband for bicycling. He likes them so much, he wears them to work (they dress very casually where he works), paired with a button-down shirt (an LLBean easy-care chambray shirt). He says they are really comfortable to sit in all day, and they keep him from feeling h...

Wouldn't buy again
Cons: 1. Too baggy. I'm a 33 waist and the large is way too big. Med would fit better, but still other features I don't like. 2. Seven pockets is about three-four too many. The 'cell-phone' pocket in back is way too small for any smart phone sold in the past 5 years, and with a baggy fit, a pocket l...

Great shorts and chamois. The shorts come in different lengths, which I did not realize. This is my fourth pair and they last forever.
This has worked great for me.

Bought these shorts as a gift for my bicycling son traveling to Europe. They looked like shorts with wonderful insides for biking. Bought 2 pair because he loved the way they fit.
Somewhat disappointing

Bought these for my husband. We are new to cycling and needed something for 20-30 mile trips. He likes the outer short with the pockets to help carry money and car keys on him rather than putting them in his bike carrier. The padding is good in his rear but didn't leave enough room in the crotch after a while they began to pinch. He says he'd wear them on short rides around town, but not really good for over 10 mile ride.
Practical, comfortable, good looking

I prefer these so much over the tight racing shorts I had before. They are comfortable, stylish and practical, on and off the bike. Love the pockets.

I like the shorts but they are tighter than my other "large" similar shorts.
