How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rapporto prezzo qualità buono.

Ottimo prodotto ovviamente per un uso non professionale. Taglia piccola rispetto alla mia abituale, spero che con l’uso i tessuti cedano elasticità. Per il prezzo pagato è un ottimo affare.

4.0 out of 5 stars good quality, great price...some limitations
Reviewed in the United States on 13 February 2021
Size: LColour: CharcoalVerified Purchase
I really like these shorts a LOT. Good quality construction, great price, excellent chamois for a decent length ride-mine are usually 25-40miles and had no issues with these shorts. The fit is excellent and provides a decent amount of compression, without restricting movement. Also love that the inseam is shorter than almost all other bike shorts--mid-thigh. Love, love that.
Now the down side...These shorts tend to run warm. It's a heavier lycra/poly blend. I ride mostly in the desert and in Hawaii and I notice the difference versus other shorts. It's not a deal-breaker by any stretch, though, still a comfortable ride and most people won't even notice it in their home climate. The other downside is they are a little short in the waist. I wish these shorts would come further up the back than they do. Again, not a deal breaker, but I hate feeling like my jersey might ride up over the shorts in back. I'd give 5 stars if it weren't for these two things.
All said and done, I now have three of these shorts. They are in regular rotation and I really like them a lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner short for shorter (sub 3 hour) rides

Review after 3 months and ~1000 miles

Overall, good fit and comfort for shorter rides. Not suitable for longer rides as I feel the chamois doesn’t cushion my sit bones enough. Decent durability and construction although a few anti slip bits at the edge of the leg openings have started to come off. Now that I’ve been cycling for a bit and looking to ride further, I’m considering switching to more costly higher end shorts.

4.0 out of 5 stars good value
Reviewed in the United States on 10 June 2021
Size: XXLColour: BlackVerified Purchase
I purchased a pair of these to try. I liked them well enough to later get a second pair. The fit and quality seem to be just fine; I've worn and washed both pairs several times. They are not quite as comfortable around the seams as some (much) more expensive shorts but not bad. I would buy them again.

These were not uncomfortable per say, but they were a lot less comfortable than the $37 bib shorts I bought around the same time, so I sent 'em back. That easy return policy nets this product an extra star in my book

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but too short
Reviewed in the United States on 16 December 2020
Size: XLColour: BlackVerified Purchase
comfortable short, rode indoors on my trainer, the shorts crept up and looked like a boxer brief, I'm only 5'10 and these are the shortest off all my bike shorts, great for the indoor trainer but I wouldn't wear them outside riding

Comfortable, fit as expected. Only complaint is that the padding is very inflexible. OK for the time while on the bike but difficult to walk around in. More so that other pair that had flexible padding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent cycling shorts!
Reviewed in the United States on 3 December 2020
Size: LColour: Black
These are surprisingly nice cycling shorts. They are made of a nice substantial, compressive fabric and have firm but supportive and cushioning chamois. The leg grippers work to hold the shorts in place and they fit true to size, hitting at mid-thigh. The only drawback is the lack of drawstring at the waist. We were very pleasantly surprised by these shorts, especially for the price. We recommend giving them a try!
