"After reading lots of reviews on these shorts I just had to try them out. After two years of wear, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommended. "mMontebello
Fit
I am 5'10" 145lbs and started off with a medium. They were just a little too big so I ended up getting a small. The smalls work perfect for me. I like these shorts because they keep you decent in the front (No outlines, if you know what I mean).
Comfort
I race a hardtail mountain bike and these shorts keep my rear from taking the full amount of abuse that I am dishing out. When I have a race, I will only preride the course the day before in these shorts because I know I will not be raw for the race.
Durability
Best I have used, hands down. Like I stated above, they have held up to probably hundreds of washings.
Value
Very much worth every dollar spent on them. They seem a little pricey but you get what you pay for.
Appearance
I have the grey ones and am very satisfied with the color. The stitching on these really sets them apart.
Customer Service
Top notch service. I have spoken to them on the phone on a few occasions and they are very prompt with everything they do.
Strengths
Work well for triathlons, especially Iron distance. Great looking, very comfortable, more durable than any other shorts, backed with excellent customer service.
Weakness
They are a little pricey but well worth the money.

Quality of Construction
These short are the best cycling shorts I have ever used. I have been using them for about 2 years and they are still going strong after using them in an Ironman, multiple other triathlons, mountain bike races, as well as wearing these particular shorts about three times a week for around 2 years. They have been washed so many times and have held up very nicely. Other shorts have not lasted me half as long as these have.
