Can anyone attest to how they run? I find that I tend to fit Ms in most PI shorts, but large in other brands I've tried-on (Sugoi, Giordana). Shebeest's sizing chart puts me at the large end of medium.

I love, love, love them. I wear the same size as I always do... x-small. The only other brand I have worn is Terry and while the style I have is different than the S-Pros, I still wear an x small.
me too - my favorite shorts. I have two pairs and just bought a pair of shebeest tri-shorts.
I wear small in both the Pearl Izumi and Shebeest shorts.
I like the Shebeest shorts too. I find the fit is similar to the PI shorts, maybe a little more roomy - but it might just be the waistbands on the SB shorts are so much more comfortable.
My favorite shorts overall though are the Castelli ones. And then probably the Louis Garneau shorts. Really really like those two companies' shorts.
I like the specs on the Neo Power shorts, but I can't do that insanely long inseam. I have short legs, so anything longer than 8" looks (and feels) ridiculous on me.Quote:

Ha, sounds like PI! I wear everything from S to L in their stuff. :pQuote:

And for some reason, the silicone gripper causes that goofy red, non-itchy bump syndrome afterwards, but it's not enough to stop me from wearing them. Both pairs are a Large, as compared to the Medium I wear in most of my PI shorts.
I had a pair of the SSS shorts years ago in a med....part of why I ended up selling them is that I really needed a L. So I wonder how the sizing of the SSS and the S-Pro might compare...?Quote:

I think you might be referring to the LG Zone 3K shorts. Same AirZone chamios as the Neo, but in a 5.5 inseam. Those would look like "hot pants" on me...and not in a good way, either. :eek::DQuote:

Boy, I REALLY like these shorts! I ended up with a pair of size large, since I fell pretty much smack-dab between M and L on their sizing chart and saw a review somewhere to size up, if in doubt. Plus the place with the best price only had S and L, so that made the choice easy.
They fit LIKE A DREAM! And I LOVE the chamois...so much less bulky than the PI chamois. I love how it stretches...no creases or wrinkles "pinching" my parts.
Of course, I also discovered a sharp/rough edge on the seat post clamp that sticks out under my saddle, so now I have a rubbed spot on the inside of my right thigh...grrr... I HATE when a brand new pair of shorts gets a sport like this. Seems to always happen. If it's not a seat post clamp it's a bit of velcro on my saddle bag. :rolleyes:
I was just thinking of this post today! I'm pretty sure the Shebeest shorts I have are the SSS shorts (and a skort, which is really forgiving in the sizing). I'm also pretty sure I could probably fit comfortably in a Small now, but the Medium isn't big in a bad way (no chamois snagging or anything). So I'll put the S-Pro on my list of "maybe next time" shorts.
I also ended up with a weird rubbing spot today from my saddle bag. Except mine was on my leg, since my shorts are shorter and I tend to pull the legs up a little extra since the grippy things on bike shorts seem to pull them down on me.
