The fit is very nice and the fabric is not stiff. I like the length and movement and would recommend these shorts to others.

I'm a long distance cyclist and find most shorts are too short as I have long legs. These fit perfectly and don't ride up like many shorts. Compression fabric is nice and chamois comfortable.
Review by Lin-gevity
These are the most comfortable shorts that I own. After wearing them once, I immediately ordered a second pair. The Lycra offers compression without being overly tight, the chamois is firm without being bulky, and the moisture transfer is excellent. I recently wore these on a couple of centuries under hot, steamy weather conditions, and I (who perspire by the bucket) never felt overheated.

These shorts look great. I debated between a medium and a large but ended up getting the large, which were comfortable - not too tight, not too loose. The gripper-less legs are really nice - I am 5'5 and they fall slightly above the knee. The chamois was not that comfortable the first time I wore it but after a few washes it fit much better. Would I buy it for the full price? Probably not since it is on the pricier side for me, but Western Bike Works had a very nice sale that I took advantage of, thank you! Great improvement over my beginner shorts!

These are 2 of my favorites (I have two pair). Very good support, nice length... for all day rides.
Review by Susan in Chicago
I love the longer inseam length. I ordered 2, and came back for a 3rd, only to find they were out of stock. They are suitable for day-long rides. Do order one size larger than normal, as they run very tight. Please get more in stock!

shorts stay down --don't ride up on your leg
Review by Susie
I am hooked on these shorts. I also have the shorter version. I love the longer version a little more. I ride many times 65 miles on hot days and these stay perfectly comfortable and cool. I will be riding for 8 days straight and do not want to ride in anything but these!

I have many shorts and these are becoming my favorite.

Excellent. So comfortable and supportive. Pad minimal but very good. Fits snug so no rubs. Legs are longer than most womens shorts but I like 'em. Now my favorite short. This short is for riding and not about the pink bling factor. Thank you LG!

I take cycle classes at the local Y. I had not bought a pair of cycle shorts for a long time. Before buying these, I researched what others were saying about different brands and styles. I saw a fellow cyclist wearing the Garneau brand and I loved the design of the shorts and the way the fabric looked. I ordered one size larger than my normal size and that worked for me. What I love about these are they are a little longer (I am 5'7) and they come closer to my knees. They are also very comfortable and the padding does not bunch up on me. I would recommend these shorts.

Very light weight and comfortable. The advice to buy the bigger size if you are in between sizes was definitely right on-as they are definitely a tight fit.

I like the length of the short and that the shorts don't ride up when I am riding. The compression keeps me comfortable for long rides. The waist band is contoured perfectly, high in back and lower in the front and is soft.
All in all - a great cycling short.

I normally take a size Large in compression bike shorts. After reading the reviews, I orderd a XXL. Even the XXL shorts were too small and too short waisted. Unfortunately I will be returning them.
Review by Bzzyb
These shorts are super comfortable. The wide waist does not bind, the legs stay put, and the seams seem, well, seemless. They rund very small, however, so I gave the first pair of L that i ordered to my thin duaghter and ordered a second par of XL that fit well. i've just recently completed a 2,000 mile bike ride from OK to RI and looked forward to the days I could wear the Louis Garneau shorts.
Review by Deb
Bought from the Garneau product line for the first time on recommendation by a friend. These shorts are awesome,the fabric and fit are great and the Air Zone chamois is really comfortable. Glad I purchased more than one pair of these shorts. I like my shorts a with a longer inseam and these were slightly longer than I thought they would be, but still look fine.
Review by RandoRider
Fit well and get less chaffing with these shorts. I use them for ultra marathon events. They are smaller than I expected but that's working well as they stay in place. They are long in the leg but I prefer that to some other brands which are too short. The waist area is very comfortable for me.

My wife says that this lycra is one of the best she has used ever

I love these cycling shorts, the compression material, the chamois and the long inseam of 10.50 make for a comfortable short on any length of ride, flat or hilly, even centuries. The short and chamois vent well in hot weather. The chamois stays in place and does not bunch up. The bottoms do not have elastic grippers which can cause my legs irritation and stay down nicely. The only cycling short I wear.
