quality and cut is great, but run small

ordered 36, I usually wear 34 to 36 size jeans, so ordered 36 but it is more like 34 maybe 35. Padded Insert has size L label Love the quality and design so much so ordering another two this time in size 38, hoping it will be true size 36.

They seemed like nice shorts... but run so small that I could not even wear them.

I'm a size 32 / 34 waist. I have countless pants and shorts in those sized to prove it. I ordered these in a 34... and they were so tight I could barely even put them on. So... I recommend ordering at least one size larger than you normally wear.

Add another zippered pocket

Great light fabric that would really benefit from another zippered pocket.

Great shorts

Got em on sale, really couldn’t be happier. Only improvement would be adding one more small zippered pocket, otherwise they’re perfect. I’m usually between 30-32” waists, got these in 32” and they cinch down nicely to fit very comfortably. Highly recommend. Oh, one last thing: please ship stickers with products.

I love the button closure

I love the button closure and adjustable waist. I've had shorts with snaps that won't stay closed. The length is great and the material seems very durable. In my opinion, specialized makes the best chamois in the business. That was a big selling point for me. I really like the color too.

Comfortable shorts, but cargo pockets are useless

I really like my trail shorts, but missing my cargo pockets to stash my phone etc. So I ordered these Trail "Cargo" shorts and was very dissapointed with the vertical zippered cargo pockets that were too small for a phone or wallet, barely big enough to hold a Cliff bar or 2. Not at all like my Fox Ranger Utility shorts as I expected them to be. Hopefully they will get re designed for next year with real zippered cargo pockets

Trail Short with Liner

Decent riding shorts although sometimes getting into them is a bit of a process as the liner tends to get twisted up inside the shorts when you take them off and toss them into a drawer. However, once on the fit is true to size (same as my Levi 501 jeans) although the length of the pant legs is too long on me, reaching well below my knees. Very comfy to ride in.

Quality Short and Liner

I’m a 31” waist but tend to fit in 32” waist pants and shorts. I ordered the 32” and they feel a little big compared to other 32” shorts but I’m able to make them fit with the tabs but they’re pulled all the way tight. The liners fit good not too loose for me. If you’re a 31” waist I’d recommend trying the 30” and 32”.

Great shorts at a good price when on sale. I'm 5'7" with a 31" waist and ended up ordering a size 32". The shorts fit good with a little tightening of the side tabs, unfortunately the inners are too big. Sit fine while pedalling but move around alot while out of the saddle. Pity as the quality and comfort seems amazing!

COMFORTABLE

6’4”…215lbs…35 inch shorts/pants waist size. My experience is that the size chart is correct. I called and spoke to a rep and told him my dimensions and he recommended I go with the 36 even though the size chart called out a 34 for me. However it’s too big and I have way too much excess waist material. I wish I would’ve gotten the 34. I just got my new Diverge finally, and couldn’t wait to ride it so I couldn’t send these back! Like a lot of other reviewers have said they are very long. I’m 6’4” and the size 36 goes down to my kneecap. They dry really really fast which is great since I’m down in southeast Texas where it’s very humid…the liner is adequate and the chamois is in the right location for me. It is also very lightweight and wicks Sweat quickly. The one small zipper pocket is great for a car key and ID and the large pocket on the right side is good if you carry a cell phone I guess. By the way, the Diverge kicks ass!!

I bought the medium size-

I bought the medium size- I am 6’1”, 160#, 32” waist. The shorts extend just to my knees. So when I am on my bike the length is perfect. The zipper left front pocket is large enough to hold my IPhone securely. The inner short which contains the chamois is held in with two snaps which makes it convenient to remove so you can wash them separately. The one button fly eliminates the need for a cumbersome zipper.

First ride out, the material makes a ton of noise against my seat (a distracting squeaking sound). I have a bunch of shorts in this style from other companies and this is the only pair that I have an issue with. I could just be my seat choice (WTB Volt) but not sure.

Really nice bike shorts. I am a first year mountain biker and have purchased several brands of shorts to start my adventure. These are my go to shorts. They are light and fit tailored but not snug.

First ride without use of pain meds or lidocaine in forever

These padded chamois and shorts made it feel like I never broke my pelvis before. These really are taking my rides to a new level. Without having to rely on a numbing agent to take care of it. I went on a mountain ride just as I bought them. Fit tru or smaller to size. I was a 40 waist and it fits a 39 probably. But the strong button keeps it in place. And I adjusted the straps on the side and bam. Perfect 40 fit. Overall, hope these keep up the help as I felt today. Outstanding.

My new favorite MTB shorts

After years of wearing other shorts, mostly Fox, these are by far the best and most comfortable MTB shorts I've ever worn. I didn't need any new shorts but I wanted to try something new; I was so impressed, I purchased two more pair. The fabric is extremely comfortable yet strong and tear/rip resistant. A single metal button instead of a flimsy snap or goofy buckle that is a pain to undo. The waist band can be adjusted easily and on the fly by pulling on two hidden draw cords. Two deep front pockets, one with a zipper so you don't lose small items; both pockets can hold your phone. The liner is the most comfortable of any I've ever worn plus it can be detached or reattached with two loops that snap close. The quality, stitching, comfort and attention to details makes these shorts hands down my new favorites. I do own other Specialized clothing items and I must say I am very pleased with the quality and comfort.
