THE KEY SHORT, 5.5"

These are my go-to shorts for mountain biking. I’m 5’8 and 130 lbs and I wear a size 25. Pros - they’re cute and very comfortable. The only downside is they have a tendency to ride up which requires some adjusting when you got off your bike.

Omg!!! I’ve finally found the most perfect shorts for my needs! Being plus size makes it incredibly hard to find good clothes in the cycling community. I took a chance and ordered these and the fit is amazing! The shorts curve to my body and really flattens out the rolls. I use my shorts to commute to work by bike 5 miles, then work all day as a bike mechanic and ride home. I’ve had the shorts now for about 8 months and I’m finally back to buy them in the other color. They are my go to’s for Houston weather.

Didn't get a chance to wear these shorts - the sizing did not work for me with big hips/thighs and small waists, major waist gap in the back. I'm 5'3",

I've order these shorts 3 times trying to find the right size and the pair that finally fit my waist squeezes my thigh in an unflattering and uncomfortable way. The legs ride up and bunch in the crotch so every time I stopped riding or got off my bike I was fidgeting to pull them down and get some relief for the wedgy action. And that was just doing a road ride. I doubt I'll take these on the trail where gear issues create hazards.

First and foremost, the material that these are made out of is really sleek and nice. They look great and I have gotten a bunch of compliments on them! I got a belt to wear with them, and they make me feel like a champ. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the way the short fits around my thicc thighs. If I were to size up, it wouldn't fit me in the waist. A size down, the waist was perfect but the legs were too tight. So I'm right in the middle and have a size 26. (5'2" 135lbs - I do not wear a chamois under them) They're fine for commuting and for riding up to 4/5 hours. I was really hoping for something that I could take bikepacking that would work for long hours in the saddle and be cool to chill around camp in. Because the thighs fit snug, they do ride up on me. I was sooo hoping to eliminate that sausage casing look when you stop riding, and maybe its just my life to always have to tug the legs back down. I do recommend these shorts aside from the ride up.
