5 LT10
[ 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.

5 keina
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.

5 HeatherMichiganRunner
These shorts are perfect for running. It ’s so hard to find longer bike shorts( for those of us with thick thighs) that have pockets, do not cause sausage leg, and don ’ t roll at the waist while still giving some tummy control. These shorts check off all of those boxes. I wish there were a few more darker colors to hide the crotch sweat.

These have just enough padding without causing chaffing. They have light to medium support. I like them better than my Garneau biking pants which have a thicker pad, which causes discomfort on long rides

5 mpollie
Nice biking shorts. Padded seat saves your butt from pain a day after a long bike! They are lightweight and breath. The padded seat means can ’ t wear with yoga type fitted leggings but that ’s okay.

5 Deedee3497
I wore these under a pair of shorts just for a short 30 min bike ride around the neighborhood. It felt like I was sitting on a pillow! They were comfortable and enabled me to focus on enjoying my bike ride.

5 emil1
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!!

Super buttery material. I felt really good with these on. No complaints and true to size.

5 murraya1
I really love the soft and buttery feel of the InfinaSoft fabric! I bought a second pair immediately after receiving the first because that ’s how much I loved them! More importantly, I love the fact that the thigh area( hems) aren ’ t stitched. My personal opinion is that Nike ’s biker shorts are made for women with slimmer/smaller quads. I have purchased numerous pairs of their biker shorts only to return them because they ’ re just too tight and constricting on my quads. The only pairs of Nike biker shorts that I own are the Nike Pro 5 inch shorts. They, too, fit amazing and I have nearly every color! The 5 inch Pros are just my preference. Not too short and not too long. The Nike Zenvy are and will be my new loves! You won ’ t be disappointed from the feel, comfort or the length! I paired them up( black pair and Smokey mauve pair colors) with the Nike Sportswear Essential Swoosh short sleeve top. 5 ’ 5 ” /157lbs Size Medium Shorts and top More colors? Yes please!!!!!!

5 noah909983672
My favorite short tights! They are so comfortable and the fabric is soft and hugging. I particularly love how there isn ’ t a seam so it makes for a smooth appearance. Very flattering. 5 ” is an ideal length. Love them better than my lulus.

5 Cynthia847110842
Good lord! These are so good! I got a medium when sometimes I toggle between small or medium, and the fit is divine. I also love the back pocket.

5 878691320
I ’ ve been on the lookout for good running shorts with a key pocket since they discontinued my last favorite pair and love these shorts so much! I ordered a small at first and they did ride up, so exchanged for a medium and they couldn ’ t be better! Soft, buttery and a pocket for hands free running. Just the best! 5 ’ 4 ” 120 if that helps people with sizing!

5 kenny48
[ 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.

[ 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!

5 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!

5 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.

I ’ m 5 ’ 3 and the shorts go at mid- thigh for me, and settle above my belly button. And the gusset thankful prevents camel toe, despite the front seam. Additionally, my tummy doesn ’ t look to awkwardly thankfully🙏 as for how it makes the booty look — in my case there was a minimal double cheek look. My stats: I ’ m 5 ’ 3 at 180lbs lmao and I got an L in the mauve color.

I bought this earlier in the day, and I am happy to say that the material is very soft, thick, and high quality. The shorts did not roll up throughout the day. Moreover, the pockets fit my iPhone pro max! There are a few drawbacks such as the front seam which may cause mild camel toe, and a small elastic waistband at the top. Overall really happy with these shorts, and I hope this helps other people interested in these!( btw I 'm 5' 3 at 180lbs, and I bought a size L)

Bought the paste yellow color in these shorts. They are a little sheer so you can ’ t wear dark colored underwear but they are so cute and comfortable. The color is perfect for summer

[ This is my first pair of bike shorts& I couldn ’ t have made a better choice. They are extremely comfortable.... love the fabric. I usually wear a size 4/6 in pants.... went with the medium as I didn ’ t want too much compression& was mainly looking for some extra padding on my 10 to 15 mile bike rides. Will be ordering another pair.

[ These bike shorts make it so much more comfortable to ride on a spin bike. The padding is just the right amount. The fit is true to size. Going to order another one..

[ Love the length of these shorts! The texture of these make them very comfortable too. The padding is thicker and makes it comfortable for longer rides.

[ The material of these shorts make for a comfortable fit. They have a decent chammy, so good for longer rides. The only downside is that there is not any grippy edging at the inside of the shorts to make them stay put on my thighs, so I have to pull the shorts down when they creep up.
