I use the shorts on every bike ride, 10-15 miles, around 4 times a week. I have multiple pairs and they are the only shorts I use. Based on other reviews I did size up and they fit perfect. I think they will last a long time.

I actually really like these shorts once I have them on. It's getting them on that's a challenge. I use a liner short to extend the days I can wear a pair of shorts and with the snug fit it's an effort to get the legs of the liner shorts straightened out inside these shorts. Once on, they have plenty of padding and support for longer rides. Out on a ride I have absolutely no complaints. Because I ordered online I wasn't able to try them on first or I may have gone up from a medium to a large. Hard to say for sure without trying the large on.

Just wanted to compliment you on your new Pearl Izumi PRO shorts. I recently purchased a couple of pairs and was out riding one of my regular routes. A Great Pyrenes dog, that usually is contained by a fence, was out of his yard and attacked me out on the road. I was able to get stopped and unclipped, but I was not able to avoid him when he chomped down on my left thigh � right through my brand new PRO shorts. Even though I had several puncture wounds in my thigh, the shorts were unharmed. After washing the dried blood out of them, they look like new � no holes or teeth marks. I find that amazing. Not only do the shorts feel great in all respects, they can survive the teeth of an 80+ pound dog!

Good cycling shorts are one of those things that lots of riders try to save on. Bad decision. If you are more than the most casual rider, really good shorts are a worthwhile expense. I ride 3000 miles a year and have been relatively happy with the less expensive Pearl Izumi options. I decided to treat myself to this PRO version and, wow, what a difference. Better designed and really comfortable. No chafing and even on longer rides where usually everything starts to hurt at a certain point these shorts are great. Highly recommended!! Your butt will thank you.

The Pro Short is just what you need for a long day in the saddle. It has very good padding and the fit is snug and is worth the extra money especially if it's on sale. The Pearl Izumi Interval Short is good too but the Pro Short is a notch above.

Got a great deal on Pearl Izumi Pro shorts but the mediums were too small. After a quick online chat I had my mailing label and sent the mediums back for a large. Within 10 days I had my new large size. Great customer service.

Easily the most comfortable short I've ever worn, especially on longer rides. Very high quality material. More expensive than many other shorts but absolutely worth the extra money.

This my second pair of these shorts. They work really well for me. I usually ride 25 to 45 miles per ride and the fit, comfort and durability are top notch.

I've always found this brand to fit my body size better than any other brand that I have tried.

I couldn't be happier with the fitment and comfort level of these shorts. I actually own 3 pairs already. The laser cut hems really added a whole new level of comfort. Whether I'm riding 15 miles, or 35, these are the only shorts I'll wear.

Had three generations of Pearl Izumi PRO shorts and this one is the best. Much more comfortable.

Not racer, just metric centuries & such. Normal old fashioned type good padding, not that usual modern kind with all kind of different thicknesses, this is just what works best for me. Sometimes wish they could be a little cooler, but overall my favorite shorts.

Nicely padded for when I send my husband on a long ride to get him out of the house. He loves the feel and fit of these shorts.

The flatter seams are a great improvement on the only bike shorts i buy/wear
Review by Wayne
Comfortable, good padding, legs don't ride up. I do wish it had a higher rise in the back.

I wear these on long rides and find I can ride longer distances in comfort.
