Fantastic shorts!

- I've used it several times
Got these in the blue which is very similar to a navy color. Fit and feel is great! (I purchased these in a Large size-33" waist, 158 lbs). Love the compressive material in the quads and the high waistband. The leg grippers work well and do not squeeze your legs. And, eventhough the pad looks basic, it performed stellar on my last 3.5 hour ride-no soreness at all. A quick pull on pair of high quality shorts that performed above my expectations. Highly recommended!

I wear XL in all shorts and have for many years..even when I was 30 lbs heavier. These shorts are very tight and I should have gotten XXL. I will not be buying these again.
