Trage auf dem Rennrad keine Radhosen mehr, sondern nur noch diese Tri-Hose. Das Polster ist sehr angenehm, nicht so groß wie bei speziellen Radhosen. Gute Qualität!

When I took these out of the packet, I knew I was going to be sending them back! Being new to multi-event sports, I hadn't tried these type of shorts on before and I found them very tight, to the point that I thought they would tear before they cut off my circulation. I'm 10-12 size and got the medium.

I returned this item. I am typically a size 2 or 4 (usually a small). Because of the reviews I got the large which fit me okay, anything smaller would have been too tight. I think it's a little odd that the sizing is so off. The band that goes around the thigh was too tight and looked horrible on my thighs; it pinched so my thighs had a very unflattering bulge. The tightness wasn't painfully tight, just unflattering and I didn't like that. The shorts were decent otherwise, I would have kept them if they fit my thighs right. The light padding was okay, I don't think it helped all that much, but it's nice to have a little extra padding down there and not feel like you're wearing a diaper. The shorts don't ride up since the band is tight and has a lining to make it stay put. The little pocket in the back is very handy for keys, gels, etc.

These shorts were perfect for the several sprint triathlons I have done. I will continue to use them. I'm not sure if they are cut out for a half or whole triathlon though. I also wear them when biking if I'm not going very far. They are breathable and do dry very quickly. They were dry by the time I finished the biking. The padding does not get in the way when running, this is something I was worried about before purchasing. They stay up and mine have a drawstring which helps. Also the legs stay in place very well and they were comfortable to swim in.I would recommend them for any sprint triathlon or swimming/biking you plan on doing! I will be looking for other Pearl Izumi products for my half triathlon later this year!

Perhaps I should have known by the price, but these shorts offer virtually no chamois padding. Perhaps enough for an hour long spin class, but not more than 20 miles on the road bike. Material was too sheer. Legs, while the appropriate length, were too tight at the openings. Very grippy material, but given the restricted opening, it only made them less comfortable. I am returning them.

Thanks to the other reviewers, I ordered up a size (or more). I ordered a large and they fit perfectly; I can't imagine being able to wear a smaller size because of the really tight band around the thigh. I ordered these Tri shorts because I wanted something with a minimal pad/chamois that didn't feel like a diaper. Previously, I bought a clearance pair of Orca Tri shorts that were wrong: not the color advertised (bright purple), returned for a bigger size, and a pad/chamois that feels like a diaper and uncomfortably digs into my back end. In normal everyday clothes, I wear about a size 6 (sometimes 8) pants, which often is a size small. But I'm discovering that Tri shorts are so tight that I would probably expect to be a size medium. I am 5' 5" and 136 lbs with a large waist and small hips. So, given that I am a size medium in triathlon clothes, I ordered up and got a large. Thanks so much to the previous reviewers for helping me make this sizing decision because otherwise I would've probably had another return and waste of shipping fees. I actually really like the lower waist line that dips below the belly button in these Pearl Izumi shorts. I will definitely wear these for my next sprint triathlon.UPDATE: I'm changing my mind on these shorts... I have a triathlon in 10 days, so I decided to try the shorts for a swim (oops, should have done that a while ago). They've been great for cycling so I haven't worried about it yet. But they were TERRIBLE for the swim. The tight band around the thigh (to keep them down and in place for cycling) didn't allow the shorts to fit tightly around the chamois area (i.e., they kept pulling the shorts down my thigh). So there was A LOT of movement, friction, and water leaking into the shorts. I think that ordering a bigger size to accommodate the tight leg band means that there is too much space/looseness in the rest of the shorts. So watch out for "ordering up a size" because it may introduce other dilemmas. Additionally, I discovered that I can't stand a fleece chamois (which these shorts have) because it adds to the friction and causes me a lot of discomfort in the chamois/crotch area. I had to hurriedly run downtown to our boutique Triathlon/cycling store to try on another brand (super expensive!) because I've only got a short time left to find a pair of shorts that will work for my triathlon. (By the way, my other Tri shorts (Orca) have a pad too big for running that digs into my rear end). Last minute anxiety and stress... wish I didn't have to go through this! Finding the RIGHT pair of shorts for each event is tougher than I thought.

I really like the feel of these shorts! The material is very smooth, and the chamois is nice and soft. I mostly used it for training this summer, and they were so comfy I decided to wear them for my half-ironman, despite having only had them for a few weeks before the race! Luckily I had no problems with them.I especially like the pocket in the back. For training runs, the pocket is actually large enough to hold my iPhone securely, and I hardly notice it's there while I'm running. For race day, I was able to put a few Gu's in there for during the run. I also like that the pocket has a fold-over flap to keep whatever's in there from slipping out.A note about the sizing though.... I ordered a large due to a few reviews saying they were tight. I'm a size 6 so normally would go with a medium, but sized up as per suggested by a previous reviewer. I found that the shorts were a bit long and there seemed to be a lot of extra material. They weren't so big that they were falling off (the material around the legs are rubbery so they stay put on your leg pretty well, and the top has a drawstring), but I probably would have preferred a medium. In fact, I'm almost certainly going to re-order another pair for next season, and I'll definitely make it a medium next time.
