About This Item
The Louis Garneau® Women’s Optimum 2 Shorts are designed to keep you comfortable and dry when you're breaking a sweat. Made with Power Mesh, these shorts have a flattering HugFit waist and use moisture management, making them perfect for any ride.
I’m getting more serious about cycling, so I wanted to buy a pair of good quality shorts. I bought these shorts and immediately tested them out on my bike trainer for an hour long ride. They felt pretty good so I decided to keep them. Only after I cut off the tags did I notice the front thigh seam had a loose thread that was totally unraveling (before they were even washed). I thought I could stitch up the loose thread eventually. Used the shorts again for a velodrome track day and noticed a bit of fraying on the inner thigh seams where they make contact with my bike seat. The chamois was also not very comfortable for the track ride where I was riding for about 2 hours total. Ultimately these didn't work for me and I’m disappointed I spent decent money for a poor quality item. However, the fit was great and I thought it was flattering for my build. No sausage legs or riding up. Form over function, I guess.

Comfy But Gel May Be Better
Wore them for 35 mile bike trip but was sore after. Maybe gel padding would have been better?

Great Fitting Riding Shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These riding shorts are true to size, fit great and are comfortable on long rides. Out-of-the-bag the chamois looked stiff and potentially uncomfortable but relaxed after washing. I am very pleased and plan to order a second pair.

These Help A Lot
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.
