"Overall, one of my best purchases. I doubt it would be the best buy for a big guy who needs a big chamois, but it is exactly what I was looking for."persondude27
Fit
The best fitting pair of spandex shorts I've ever had. The leg hoes are loose, so they accommodate both the beefy-legged and the sticks.
Comfort
About as high as I've even had on a tri short. The chamois is excellent for a tri short. One caveat: the tags were very uncomfortable until I removed them.
Adjustability
Pretty high, because of the built-in drawstring on the waist. Like all spandex shorts, though, it can't work for everyone's legs.
Durability
Seems to be very high. All the Pearl gear I have has lasted much longer than other brands.
Value
Like most cycling gear, it's a little expensive. Overall, you only really need one pair, though.
Appearance
Looks great.
Performance
As I mentioned earlier, I was throughly impressed by the chamois. It is comfortable on both a run and bike, including both a tri saddle in aero position and a racing saddle on a roadie.
Strengths
Comfortable, good-looking, durable, and very well shaped.
Weakness
A little expensive.

Quality of Construction
Seems to be pretty high quality. As they're new this season, I haven't worn 'em out yet.
