Never heard of them ma'am. The most common shorts worn here seem to be PIs, followed by a mix of Sugoi and/or Performance. Do you have a link or a website we can go look at em?


Also, welcome to the board! If you get a chance, there's a thread under the open titled "getting to know you". Gives you a chance to meet all of us and tell us more about you!

CWX is more of a running brand, they're new to the cycling market. I doubt they're worth the extra $$.

I went to a race clinic (not that I race yet, but I'm trying to learn) that was sponsored by them. I bought their sports bra, and it is phenomenal. It's my favorite, by far. Light weight, non-binding, yet incredibly supportive. (I'm a 34B/C, but with a history of problems that makes this very important for me.) The sales rep's description of the support panels in the shorts was interesting, but I can't imagine them doing all that much for my performance. I made the mistake last year of riding in a pair hiking tights that slightly restricted my movements, and it was awful. Hmmm, I doubt I helped you at all!

I am always open for new brand's, it is so difficult to find the right cycling shorts. I bike for a long time and have tried different brands but...guess you all know...???

The website: www.cw-x.com

But thanks for your replays

It would be interesting to see an actual picture of the chamois. The only picture of cycling shorts I could find was on a dealer page and it was the same as the men's picture. In the men's description, I did discover that the panels are flat-stitched together which is worth some money. They might be worth a try but only if I could see a picture of the women's shorts and the chamois.

As far as money goes, they're right in there with really good quality shorts from PI and Shebeest. Castelli YPRO3 Donna shorts are my most comfortable and they are half again more expensive.

I love my Cannondale 8-panel Chrono's. I love the fact that the leg grippers are NOT plastic... instead they are material and feel comfortable on my skin. They are on the only ones I wear.
