PEARL IZUMI Padded Bike Shorts for Men, 9" Quest Cycling Shorts, Breathable & Moisture-Wicking with Reflective Elements., Black, XL

I find the pad isn’t what i would expect. They just aren’t a comfortable short for me!

Pearl Izumi padded shorts have a good fit, smallish, discrete but very effective padding. They don’t ride up your leg. Highly recommend

Estan muy comodos, el unico pero es que me gusta que el short me cubra casi hasta la rodilla, mido 1.80mts y me quedaron mas cortos de los que acostumbro usar.

I only use shorts for indoor riding these days, I use bibs when outdoors. I bought these on prime day because they were a pretty good price, about $32. I have worn pearl shorts since the 90s and they’ve always been good quality and fit very well. Unfortunately, these are quite low quality. The first thing I noticed was how thin the chamois was. Sometimes that’s not a bad thing because bulky ones can be just as bad or worse so I still wanted to give it a try. They feel OK for indoor riding but anything over 30 minutes they’re not great. The big problem is the fit. While all the fit around my legs is fine. The waistband has almost no elasticity to it and is low cut in the back so they fit loose and sag in the back. I keep having to pull down my jersey and pull up the shorts because of plumbers crack or at least the sensation of it. I’ve never had bike shorts do that before. They’re so loose! I bought a cheaper pair of Baleaf in the same size a week prior and they fit far better and have a better chamois. In short, I would not buy them again and do not recommend them. This experience may have turned me away from pearl in the future.

My shorts were perfectly and an XL Men’s work great. The originally you sent me had XXL Female and certainly that was not good. Amazon makes a quick fix and all is good. Tomorrow I will try on the bike.
