FOUNDATIONS LINER SHORT

I wanted to love these. Unfortunately I had the same problem several other reviewers had. The fabric and feel is light and silky, and I love the mesh vented band, but they roll down over my belly and roll up my thighs. This might not be a problem for smaller riders but if you have any booty, belly and thighs beware. And I waited just over 30 days so no return option.

I’m an outdoor rider and got these for indoor training. I’m tall 5’10 and pear shaped. I already sized up in the shorts by advice of the sizing chart and they are still very snug around the legs. For an indoor trainer i find the inseam too short- the tops of my thighs are exposed to rubbing and the grippy tape flips up and they don’t stay put. The chamois is thin, which is great, but not comfortable for over an hour on the saddle. The waistband is super high which is great, but in a road or spin body position, the waistband doesn’t stay put and rolls over. I don’t find the waistband too snug and have a pretty flat belly so this is weird. I’d prefer longer inseams and a slightly lower waist.

Wouldn’t wear these any longer than cruising around town. 40kms is when I realised I should have put my other MFF knicks on. The chamois is a lot thinner making them sit fine under the trail shorts and for shorter rides. The mesh keeps you cool and the length is great. I’d like the chamois a little thicker. I’d definitely size up one. Overall pretty happy and have been using them frequently.

Got two pairs of these when I did the Colorado trail, kept my butt happy so no complaints. The grippers do roll up quite a bit but like I said, no real complaints if my butt’s happy.

I really liked the material and mesh along the side of these liner shorts but sadly the sizing was off. I currently wear a small in the MFF compression bibs and these shorts fit well in the thigh but at my waist it was uncomfortably tight and rolled over when I leaned over in a cycling position. I was really bummed because I liked the lighter padding on these shorts than my full on bibs. I was also hoping to wear these with the key hole shorts but those I ordered in a 27 and surprisingly felt wide at the waist. I think if you find the right sizing these are a great short and if you're between sizes, I would recommend going up!
