Comfortable and practical
Great pair of shorts. Size as expected. I between sizes so ordered both but the smaller size was the better fit. Leg bands ensure no movement when cycling and the wide flat front panel is very comfortable and doesn't pinch at all. The pockets on the sides are a very useful addition and as a new cyclist, are easier to get to when on the bike than the jersey pockets while I build my confidence. Padding is great too. Not the cheapest shorts out there, but you get what you pay for and these are my go to pair.

Comfort and Convenience
Purchased my third pair of these cargo shorts as they are a staple for when I do local social rides. Super comfortable, love the pockets for quick access to my phone to take photos and to grab a snack. The low-sheen fabric is very soft and flattering. Compared to Rapha's Pro Team bibs, they don't seem to last as long. The fabric I love just isn't as durable as the bib lycra. Still a good value as a great short that lasts more than a few seasons of riding.

Great fit, but slight chaffing from threading.
These shorts have a very flattering and comfortable fit. They are also a bit longer than most chamois shorts, but it makes sense with the side pockets. I would have given these shorts 5 stars, but I have noticed slight chaffing from the threading of the chamois pad that attaches it to the shorts, even on short rides. Using chamois butter helps a lot, but it would be nice to not have this issue entirely.

The only shorts I’ll wear! Game changer!
The only shorts I’ll wear from now on! Soft quality fabric, no unsightly seams splitting my thighs (some of you know what I’m talking about!), and comfortable waistband that manages to keep the shorts up. The chamois is very comfortable (longest ride so far is four hours) - no pad bunching in the lady bits (yay!) and no irritation/hotspots where it’s sewn onto the Lycra short (phew!). The pockets are super handy - my iPhone Pro Max fits in them just fine and stays put while riding. They’re also handy for stuffing in blocks or gels. The shorts are a little longer than many, so if you’re looking to flash more leg these aren’t for you. The upside is that there’s more fabric to keep up your leg warmers… I will also say that bike shorts often aren’t all that attractive (see unsightly seam thigh reference above!) - but these ones are quite flattering.

Like, don’t Love
My first pair of chamois shorts and I like them. Have a few complaints. They’re a bit long for my liking and the pockets are on the looser side. My phone weighs them down. I wish there was a small pocket in the waist somewhere for a car key and cards. I purchased these as my rides were getting longer. Before then I wore lululemon bike shorts, no chamois, but they have nice tight pockets everywhere. I also don’t like the mesh because you can see what you’ve got in the pockets and covers the elegant Rapha logo. But they stay put on rides and dry quickly and the chamois is comfortable for me.

Genau, was ich wollte!
Schwer vorstellbar, dass eine Radlerhose besser sein kann als diese. Sie sitzt perfekt, schneidet an keiner Stelle ein und dank des sehr breiten Bauchbündchens kann man sie ohne Druckgefühl stundenlang tragen. Die Gummierung an den Beinabschlüssen tut genau, was sie soll, ohne dass man darunter schwitzt. Auch das Sitzpolster ist ideal - sehr groß und schützt meine Sitzknochen besser vor Druckschmerz als alle anderen Radhosen, die ich habe. Die Farbe ist außerdem wunderschön, und die Hose ist, obwohl sehr leicht, quasi nicht durchsichtig. Schade, dass es die nicht auch als lange Hose gibt!

Great design but uncomfortable chamois seam
I really liked the design of these shorts, great details and the pockets were a definite plus! The fit was really nice once I got a size smaller (I'm usually an M but the chamois was just too big so I exchanged for an S where the chamois is smaller).
However, I noticed that the stitching, keeping the chamois in place, was really rough. By just trying them on, the stitching was rubbing against my inner thigh and with a bit more moving would definitely cause an uncomfortable rash due to its sharpness and position. The chamois was also creating a very uncomfortable fold and seam right under my bum.
I really hope the stitching can be improved as I have other biking shorts with considerably softer chamois edges. The black was also a bit light making the shorts seem grey when combined with other black garments. I'm really sad as I did expect more from the chamois design and really wanted to like these shorts.

My Second Pair
This is my second pair of core cargo shorts. I sized down this time and the fit is better. According to the sizing chart I’m definitely a large, and they are a very comfortable non restricted fit but I thought maybe a bit big, so I got a medium this time which I like a bit better. Comfortable chamois. Love the side pockets for snacks and phone. 5’9 160lbs.

Great shorts apart from the updated chamois!
I bought a pair of these shorts two years ago with the explore chamois and they have been fantastic. The new version of these shorts now has a classic chamois which is thicker and less compliant. It is especially uncomfortable at the front, which I found out the hard way on a 600km ride a few weeks ago, so I now can't wear them for ANY length of ride. Very disappointing as the color (I bought the navy) fit (good leg length) and function (with the pockets on the legs) are excellent.

Second Pair : )
I've ordered many shorts and returned many shorts. These are by far the best I've worn. The padding is right for me, and keeps me comfortable during longer rides. I love the longer length, and to be honest, I would like them even longer. Although the cargo pockets weren't the main draw, they are AWESOME — they hold my phone perfectly.

Great way to pack nutrition, phone, etc.
These shorts are very handy for longer trips. I especially like dedicating one pocket for my phone. They are lower in price than the cargo bits, although not quite so comfortable (but still comfortable!). I think they run bigger. I'm a Small in other Rapha bibs, but XS in these, and probably could go down to XXS.

Great fit - I hope they last
I love how these shorts fit! The high waist is so comfortable and the pad is perfect. The cargo pockets are definitely worth the extra cost. This is my second pair of the Core shorts, and they fit me much better than the more expensive Classic shorts. I have given them 4 stars because the material in my first pair has started to disintegrate, and they are not that old. I’m giving it another go with this pair, and I just hope they last longer.

My go to shorts for long hard rides.
At first I was skeptical about these shorts. The chamois seemed a bit bulky and I wasn’t sure how the mesh side pockets would hold up.
A couple of weeks ago I rode 61/2 hours on the saddle... up 3 mountains... 100km and 2,334 meters of climb and these were my go to shorts.
I love having my phone close by in the pocket on the leg. It makes it so much easier to access it during the ride. I ended up buying another pair.
I absolutely love them.

Comfy and convenient!
These are the only shorts I can wear all day riding without any issue. Cargo pockets are convenient and handy! While I prefer bibs, because I ride with MS and have an overactive bladder, the cargo bibs are a bit much fir potty breaks. I have and love the detachable bibs! I wish the Cargo shorts came in the detachable bib option! That would be the ultimate cycling shorts and I would buy 3 right away!!

Nice fit
I wasn't sure about them at first. I loved them in the store but the first test ride presented issues. The thread used in the seems is rough and chafes my inner thighs when riding. However, when I rub them down with a chamois stick to soften the threads, it helps. I have to do this on other brands as well. Most of the chamois padding is behind the sit bones and is wasted unless you are riding a recumbent. The pocket is cool. The fabric is solid and comfortable. I like the smooth compression around the waist. They are becoming my go-to shorts.

Something's off about these shorts
This short was a big disappointment, but it might be my anatomy. The Medium was perfect in the waist and around my hips, but the padding jutted out too far in front and the fabric sagged around my thighs. The Small was too tight around my waist but almost perfect everywhere else -- but the padding was still too large for a comfortable ride. Because I wore them three times (trying to make them work), I gave them to a fellow rider and they fit her perfectly. I loved the side pockets and really wanted them to work. Needless to say, I'm bummed.

Cargo shorts
Really like the waist band on the shorts. It’s double fabric with elastic waistband. It doesn’t cut into the waist. Good fit. Prefer shorts over bibs. Don’t have to get underdressed to go to the Lu. Wish the chamois was as good as the men’s chamois. This is fine for a 2 hr 40 mile ride. I ride 60- -75 miles ride would like a chamois to help with longer ride days. Women ride longer rides too.

Bike shorts with pockets
The ONLY women’s bike shorts with pockets! That I could find anyway. Brilliant shorts, I had to do an exchange and it was easy and cost me NOTHING. Rapha arranges the courier and it gets picked up from home, I couldn’t believe it, a seemless system and the right size was delivered promptly. Cant rate this company highly enough.

truly the best shorts ever
I have been road riding for 25 years and have literally *never* had a pair of shorts I've been excited to wear until now. These are AMAZING. They fit so well, the high waist is super comfy and doesn't fall down, they don't give me the terrible sausage leg look, and the chamois is great for long rides. And that's without considering the POCKETS which really just put these over the top!! I never review anything but can't help but share how much I love these. I'll definitely be buying another pair or two!

Buy these Cargo shorts!
Love the cargo shorts. 2 pockets hold phone and anything you need safe and secure. Only thing better would be the hub with 2 small "hidden" pockets on upper back of bib shorts! Excellent chamois for a long day of riding. Love them in blue.

Great product
These are great lightweight shorts with a really good padding. I personally like the length of these shorts compared to other brands as they not only hide cellulite but also act as better protection from the sun during long summer rides

Bib short comfort in a cargo short
Very comfortable, no muffin top at the waist, pockets are great. Shorts look great with or without gear in the pockets. Usually I just carry my phone in the pocket for quick/easy access and I forget all about it.

Saddle Sores Who?
After my first saddle sore, I had been struggling with finding a short with the right fit and comfortable padding. This short does the job! And I love the cargo pocket for storage with quick access

Great, practical, good looking shorts!
I love these shorts, practical, well fitted and they feel like a higher quality materal than my core shorts. Colour is fab too. Only addition for me would be a zipped pocket at the back.

Do exactly what they say and are very comfortable . I can fit hand gel, gloves and phone if required. I can not feel them when on bike. Probably the best cycle shorts for touring rides

Cargo Shorts
Good fit, I like the longer leg length. The cargo pocket is handy for a phone but the fabric does seem a bit fragile and in risk of tearing, something more robust would be better

Comfy shorts for shorter and longer rides
These shorts quickly became my favorite pair - I enjoy extra pockets, so I don't have to think where to put my gloves/trash/extra bars/etc. when I need extra space for a moment. Waist is secure and isn't digging anywhere, no need to undress on tinkle stops. Chamois is veeery comfortable for 3 to 4 hours of riding and fine up to 6 hours of riding. Mildly crashed in them once offroad, shorts survived with no traces which I can't say about rest of my body. Definitely would recommend.
