Louis GarneauWomen's Neo Power Fit Short(Return to Product Page)

These shorts are perfect for longer rides. The compression feels good and I love the length. I've tried other brands, but always come back for these. Size up. I usually wear a small but buy medium for the neo power short.

Compared to the Pearl Isumi's she bought a few years ago, she likes these much better. The padded insert is much smoother and more comfortable. Fits much better without bunching up and wrinkling in the crotch. These shorts have quite long inseams, so if your legs are short, consider the LG model that has a shorter inseam.

The chamois is really comfortable and feels kind of like those waffle silicone oven mits to the touch. The material is also comfortable, snug but not a sausage casing. The legs are long, and the closures don't dig in. My one complaint is the waist rolls down once you get on the bike (bend forward) and it cuts in like a normal elastic waist band would (if not worse). I'm pretty thin in the waist so I do think this would happen for most people.

Overall I'm happy with them but I don't think I'll get another pair due to the waist band.
