[ Fit is lovely. The shorts are so soft and have washed well. Stayed soft. Great for dog walking and exercise. Long enough for thick thigh ladies. I love the colour, a pinky peach it just goes so well with a white top. Perfect pair of shorts for me. I can ’ t wait to get more in different colours
5
Sarah
[ These leggings are incredibly comfy, the material has a seamless finish at the end, so there is no stitching that pinches. The material is nice and breathable which is perfect for warmer days and isn ’ t too thick. Because of this you do want to make sure you have the right underwear on( no VPL) but that is what you would expect from a legging- style short. Have worn these on long walks and days out, they stay comfy all day and I have even done a 5k run in them. A great all- rounder!

Vapourlite2
[ These shorts are perfect, I absolutely love wearing them when exercising as they don ’ t ride up at all! It ’s taken me years to find a pair that don ’ t! 32 long years of pulling my shorts down constantly when exercising, but I have found you hallelujah! Why do they feel so light and comfy too? it ’s like having a second skin! But they aren ’ t see through, so often you get a light pair of gym shorts but you can see straight through them, not with these! They ’ re so good I even wear them when not exercising just to feel that comfort. Thanks NIKE, great product!

Lmacd
[ Honestly the most comfiest shorts iv ever owned, they felt like a second skin super comfy and stretchy. The design was great mostly plain with the logo on. The fabric was nice to touch and had a great stretch. My favourite part is they held in my stomach and gave me such confidence as they made me feel sculpted. I wasn ’ t sure of the colour but it was actually amazing against my skin and looked even better with a tan. I would 100% purchase in every colour they are so comfortable.

[ Great pair of shorts, super comfortable. They do seem to be a little more on the small size, so if your debating sizes go up one. Super breathable, pad is better than most. I have n't tried them out of the house yet, but worked great when riding the Peloton.

Snow73
[ I have n't gone on any super long rides( 12 miles is the longest) with these shorts yet and those rides have been primarily on paved surfaces, but so far I love them! These are the first shorts with liners I have worn and was n't sure how I would like having two bottoms as I am used to just wearing just padded bike shorts or bibs. I was skeptical with the chamois as it did n't seem `` beefy '' enough to provide adequate cushioning, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have n't been saddle sore or even uncomfortable on any rides and no chafing which I worried about from having two bottoms. I normally wear a medium in bike shorts so I ordered a medium in these as well. I am 5'6 '' and 140 lbs. The liner fits great and is true to size, the shorts seem sized a little big, but the velcro adjustment on the sides kept them snugly in place without the waistband digging in. The material is soft and flexible yet rugged. I would highly recommend them.

For my first brand name bib these have been really good. Fit is great, padding is comfortable on mixed gravel/road for short and long distance. The shorts themselves are a bit on the shorter side at least for me being 6 ’ 5 ”. Other than the shorts length I have zero complaints. Great bibs for any rider.
5
Julian G.
I have had an interesting experience with the gear thus far. On my first ride, I took a spill on a wet railroad track. While I tore a small hole in my bib shorts, I think my wound would have been a lot worse without it, so I ’ m glad I was wearing them. I ’ ve taken them out for another ride and they were comfortable. I went with the right fit, with my hips being an XL and waist and shoulders a L. I went with the XL to accommodate the hips. The top I went with a large.

Sarah W.
I am not a fan of the super fluffy puffy chamois, rather I want something pretty streamlined and a quality short that isn ’ t overly constricting. I ’ ve been wearing attack shorts for many years and they don ’ t disappoint! Now with a bib that lets us ladies drop trow without disassembling an entire jersey/jacket situation. I also got a couple pairs of the pro shorts and while I like the pockets and high waistband, they have so much chamois volume that I don ’ t think I ’ ll wear them except for really long rides. Attack shorts are my go- to, and more reasonably priced too.

Well made bibs. They fit well and wash well. This is my second pair.

I wear a medium in PI tops/bottoms. 5 ’ 3 135# I am short waisted and was unsure of no adjustment on the straps. These are my first bibs and I love them! The strap length has enough stretch that they are a Great fit. The shorts stay in place and the padded insert is comfortable and not itchy. I ’ d like a phone pocket in the shorts but my PI jersey has great pockets! Bought these on sale and they are worth the money!!

[ Fit is good( large for 34 '' waist). Chamois is very confortable. I 'm 6'4 '' and could use a bit longer inseam- think the older model was a bit longer. The color bleeds a bit when washing so wash separately initially.

yeah I got a few from Amazon for 35 bucks and used them without any problems. But I wanted to try these because the other ones had weird colors and I could n't just wear them alone. This was definitely worth the purchase and im very happy with the shorts. I use leg warmers and they go underneath them perfectly so its a great snug fit.

I purchased these shorts because they were the only option for same day acquisition, and i needed them ASAP. After opening the package, I was not impressed with the material, i thought that they felt kind of cheap and I would n't have tried the if I could go into the store. But I wore them under a pair of thin pants on my long ride and I could n't have asked for a bette quick fix. 150 miles in the saddle with NO discomfort. They are very thin, so I do not know how long they will last, but they performed just as comfortable as my Pearl Izumis, maybe even better. Worth the buy!!

I have a pair of Pearl Izumi cargo bib shorts that I thoroughly enjoy wearing. I decided to try out the Men's Attack bib shorts. The order was filled promptly. I 'm a medium guy at 5'10 '' and 160 lbs so I ordered medium. The bibs are well constructed and the chamois is perfect for my anatomy. The silicone leg grippers work very well. So well that it was a struggle to get the shorts up onto my average thighs. Once the shorts were on they cradled my bits perfectly. Definitely the nicest fitting bib shorts that I 've ever worn.

Great shorts that are very comfortable, stylish and well made. I have a few pair of these and they also last a long time and show very little wear. The compression on my legs feels great and the chamois are very comfortable and absorb road vibration.

[ My LG Fit Sensor 2 shorts I own are a little bit too small for me, so I bought the sensor 3 shorts 1 size larger than my sensor 2 shorts. One size larger turned out to be a perfect fit for me and the top band does not roll over. I found sensor 3 to be very comfortable and it feels like it might be a little bit lighter/cooler material than the sensor 2 shorts. To my surprise, the leg length is a little bit longer than the sensor 2 leg length, which is good. Also, the legs stay in place as I ride. I only ride 15- 20 miles, so I can not say how they are for long rides, but they are great for my use.

So happy that I purchased these last month because I was definitely getting a sore butt from bike riding. These shorts helped relieve pressure from long distance riding, lessened the bounce from hitting the bumps in the road. Only drawback is that they are fairly see- through. Because of this, I strictly change out of them after getting off the bike.

[ This is my first pair of actual cycling shorts. I 'd only ridden in tri shorts before, but I 've been increasing my mileage and needed some more padding. They 've done the job. Much thicker chamois compared to my tri shorts, the legs do n't ride up and the top does n't fold over. I 've had zero problems. I 'm 5'7 '' and 135 lbs with a 39 '' hip measurement, and the Mediums fit great.

Bought an air bike that I loved until I discovered it was not possible to use and still walk naturally. So then I bought a silicon gel bike seat. Still in pain, so my Dr. recommended bike shorts and these were the answer. On the bike every day and no problem at all since.

I shyed away from pearl izumi because of cost constraints for awhile, but their gear always performs better than allof the low cost options out there. I am happy I can now afford to avoid the saddle pain again.

These are my daily go- to for rides 30- 40 miles. I do have shorts that I use for longer rides that have a better cushion but these are really solid. The think I like is I can throw them in the washer and dryer and they do n't shrink like the more expensive brand that I use. The material has the perfect stretch and does n't break down over time.

These are perfect for 20- 30 mile rides. Very comfortable and nicely designed. I usually wear a small/medium, but in cycling gear I order up for a more comfortable fit, so I got these in Large and they are perfect.

Coming from a triathlon background, I was most comfortable wearing cycling apparel that didn ’ t overwhelm with too thick of a liner. The liner doesn ’ t catch on the seat when standing and climbing hills. Thank you Pearl Izumi!

I have a 33 ” waist and the Medium fits perfectly, but it could easily accommodate smaller or larger people. ... It ’s also more acceptable by my wife for wear off the bicycle, she says I look like a black olive with toothpick legs in my old spandex shorts,

[ This cycling shorts set is much more comfortable than my old spandex padded shorts. It ’s also more acceptable by my wife for wear off the bicycle, she says I look like a black olive with toothpick legs in my old spandex shorts, LOL. With the removable padded briefs, you can wash and dry the briefs and still walk around in the outer shorts.

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Bike Shorts For Long Rides
When selecting bike shorts for long rides, consider features such as padding thickness and material, which can greatly enhance comfort. Look for moisture-wicking fabrics that help keep you dry and reduce chafing. Additionally, a snug fit without being restrictive is important to ensure optimal performance during extended periods of cycling.
The material of bike shorts plays a crucial role in comfort, especially on long rides. Fabrics that are breathable and moisture-wicking help regulate temperature and keep sweat away from the skin. Stretchable materials also allow for better movement and flexibility, which is essential for maintaining comfort over extended distances.
Padding, often referred to as chamois, is essential in bike shorts for long-distance cycling as it provides cushioning and reduces friction between your body and the saddle. A well-designed pad can enhance comfort by absorbing shock and preventing chafing, which is particularly important on longer rides where you may be in the saddle for hours.
Yes, there are specific styles of bike shorts that cater to long rides. Generally, longer inseams and a more fitted design can offer better coverage and support. Additionally, styles that feature a higher waist can provide extra comfort and prevent slipping, which is beneficial during extended cycling sessions.
To determine the right size for bike shorts, it's important to refer to the sizing charts provided by the manufacturer, as sizes can vary. Consider measuring your waist and hips to find the best fit, and look for shorts that provide a snug yet comfortable fit without being overly tight. Trying on different sizes and styles can also help you find the most comfortable option for long rides.
