My first pair of MFF shorts and I truly do love them! The compression is AMAZING! I carry my weight in my butt and thighs and while the measurement chart said a Large, I might have been better in an XL.
As reference, I am 5'5" tall and yo-yoing between 165 and 170 lbs.
Anyways, this weekend I was chatting with a friend in her yard and her dog lightly nipped at me a few times, then the dog came in and bit right on my shorts at the thigh! My first thought was "NOOOOOO, NOT MY NEW SHORTS!!!!" but when I looked down there was not a tear, hole or snag but when I rubbed my hand across the area I could feel the skin raised! Nothing to show dog teeth broke the skin! No joke! I have quite a wound, but the shorts are unharmed! Whew!
Only reason I don't give them a 5 is because of the chamois. It chafes a bit more at the crease of my leg and lady parts than a couple of my other shorts. I feel like the 'wings' on the side of the pad are a bit wide and bunch a bit. But I also realize that is how I am built, and others rave about how awesome they are and based on how I feel about everything else, I believe them! I will eventually buy another pair because they just feel and look so good! And who knows, the more fit I get, the more that chamois and those wings may not bother me! :-)

Love the fit and feel of these shorts-super smooth and sleek feeling! I have a long torso and the high waist is perfect!
My favourite are the legs-no more sausage thighs! Tried on another brand the other day and said ‘No! Going with MFF!’

I usually only wear bibs, because I hate the feeling of the waistband on shorts cutting into my stomach. That's not an issue at all with these, they are cut so comfortably around my stomach that I barely feel them at all, even if I'm very bloated. They also don't cut in my thighs at all, which is another miracle. I legitimately couldn't feel them on my legs or stomach at all when I did a ride. My one issue is that I found them a bit hard to pull back on mid-ride. The fabric stuck to my skin, because of sweat I guess, and I don't have that issue with my other bibs. The chamois was comfortable on my butt because it seems wider than other shorts. I did have some slight pressure on my sensitive areas, but that may have been my saddle. Still a large improvement from my Rapha shorts - my sit bones hurt for a day after riding in those.

Love the essicial bike short. I’m new to “real”cycle clothing. Like many other things, having the right tool, or in this case short makes a huge difference in comfort. The fit is great!
I was concerned about the fit with my thighs, mine are on the on the larger size,but after a long ride they didn’t creep up my leg and were not at all tight or uncomfortable.
A big plus, is the difference having padding on my bum makes!
Thank you for making my ride more comfortable.
P.S. I’m 65, not exactly a spring chick.

These were my first 'splurge' in cycling apparel, and I don't regret it for a second. I had been eyeing MFF since I started getting back into cycling about a year ago. I had been getting by with budget gear like Black Bibs, which are fine for a short Zwift ride. But these MFF shorts are flattering AND great for longer distances. I love the smooth seamless leg and flat 'yoga-style' waistband. Now if they'd just come out with some more colors please!! :)
