I love these shorts. I am going to have to get more pairs now. I have ridden in these multiple times now and am completely totally sold. I like spandex shorts for mountain biking. I don’t want anything loose that will catch on the seat when popping up and down behind or in front of the seat. This chamois works. It’s perfect, stays in place and does not get in the way. The compression is just right and gives great support for glutes and upper leg muscles. We ride 20 -30 miles in the woods and the compression does aid against leg fatigue. Notably so! The high waistband fits exactly where it should and is very comfortable and not binding. Same with the leg bands. The shorts stay in place throughout the ride. I ride a lot and I am blown away in the difference these shorts make. And I am not easily impressed, especially with a pair of bike shorts. But, I cannot say enough about these shorts. The guys riding with me even named the Strava rides after my new bike shorts because we set personal records when I wore them. Ha! Just like good bike equipment makes a difference in the quality and ability in a ride, really good bike shorts matter, too. And these are it for mountain biking!! I wasn’t sure about paying $125 for shorts, but the shorts are worth every penny. Got my moneys worth on the first ride.( Plus, I felt safe putting the money out because of the Terry guarantee that you can actually test the shorts out on some rides and return them if you aren’t satisfied. Wow! ) I hope these shorts will always be available forever. Thanks Terry!!
