Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very convenient and comfortable! My favourite pair Love these shorts. Perfectly padded and the mesh pockets are invaluable, especially if you have shoulder issues like me. Love them for indoor workouts too - means you can stash some food for longer rides and wear a looser fitting top. The only downside is that they will wear out eventually - where the fabric will start to peel (although not yet transparent, thankfully!). I've been wearing mine about once a week on average and they were reasonably worn after two years. Picked up a new pair for riding with other people, but I'll keep using the worn one when riding indoors at home!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great but waste sits an inch or so too high I was happy to see that Rapha has finally released shorts for those that prefer vs bib type shorts. Fit was great except that the waist goes up unusually high. Folding the waistband over itself so me gets to a more normal waste height and that is what I end up doing. If it were not for this, they would be perfect in my opinion. Good quality and the cargo pockets are unexpected quite handy when making stops and needing somewhere to stash something for quick storage/retrieval.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Unfortunately, not for me. Excellent quality product and materials. The shortcomings are fit and construction related. The waist is so high it is constrictive and uncomfortable. At first I attributed that to me being accustomed to the fit and feel bibs. I have had several Rapha bibs over the years and still do and LOVE them). However, I have other shorts (Pearl Izumi, even Canari) which are quite comfortable. I returned them (which Rapha graciously made easy). I will likely be ordering Rapha bibs instead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shorts! Happy I took the chance with them Sweet! You can pick like 8 muesli bars PER SIDE in these bad boys. Super comfy. I did have to get a large though (171cm tall, small waist, beefy legs) and they wear like.. High waisted? All the same to me. I've been wearing them for nearly 10 days straight on the munda biddi, doing 100km days and they've been perfect. (don't worry there was a wash or two in there)

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Comfortable, well designed shorts Versatile, practical shorts. Definitely love the side pockets. The only thing preventing it from getting a 5-star is that there are some small holes on the side pocket nets after only 2 rides, though partially my fault for not being thoughtful in pushing down my wallet that has somewhat pointy edges. Other than, perfect shorts, nice designs and details in and out, and more importantly, convenient for long rides as well (have worn this for 150km+ ride without any discomfort)

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Looks good but chamois doesn't work for me. I really wanted to like these. The shorts look great and the materials are top notch. My issue is that there is excess material at the very front of the chamois and it does not lay flat in the shorts. This leads to uncomfortable bunching. I am not sure if this is a defect or if it is the case with every pair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable Really comfortable. Like the touch with the internal coat hanger lapels. Great to prolong the chamois.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not the quality I was expecting I just used this item 4-5 times and the seams already started to unravel. Very disappointed.

Hello,  Can I do a Triatholon/iron man in these shorts? Meaning..will the padding soak up a ton of water in the swim? 

Asked by: Captain Questions
Hello, You can wear these shorts for a triathlon if you would like but the chamois will soak up and hold water from the swim.
