Cycling capris, pockets - such joy

Aww I shoulda waited! Oh well, I got the Large and I'm sure it'll fit fine but yes, maybe someone will trade.

Oh, man, I want a pair.

Problem is, I don't *need* a pair.


Edit to add: I ordered a pair! Figure I must deserve a pair... for some reason. I'll come up with the reason later!

How about your most recent raise? First commute in these pants today, they are great!

Sound: they crinkle like my taffeta gowns when walking. That may break in

Heat: today was a scorcher, pants felt nice and light. I imagine they would dry fast too.

Loves: reflective ankle strap, stretchy rear pockets. I had cell phone in thigh pocket, keys in zippered side pocket, wallet in stretchy rear pocket and no worries about things falling while on the bike! I don't look or feel like I'm wearing a backpack in my shorts with all that.

Ease: Hardly noticed it all pedaling Velcro thigh cell pocket is very easy to get to, I like that safety feature. Drop your hand to the thigh and pull up on the flap, there's your phone. Choice of right or left hand.

Chamois: If you like shorts with no or little chamois you'll like these. The chamois is narrow and just enough. I did not feel odd in the office with these pants. As advertised "no diaper feel", if you did not see me ride in - probably just think I'm wearing capris.

I would like just a tad more velcro to get the ankle narrower. That's so minor with pants so good .... if you bike to work, need to look "normal" on an errand, need to carry stuff .... get these.

Susan? Can you get 'em?

Mine just arrived!

Once I cut the liner out (I don't like liners or padding, YMMV) they were just fabulous! I love the zippered pockets. I *need* zippered pockets when I ride. The fabric weight is great for Seattle weather, and the reflective tape is a great touch.

The rise is not too low, and the cut is good. Leg length is nice and long, a good rainy-day length.

I got mine 2 days ago and love them as well. I even ran errands in them yesterday. It was kinda hot in them (a shorts kinda day) but they are really comfortable. I love all the pockets and how they are either deep or have zippers. There's lots of room to move. Mine are a tad too big but nothing too crazy since I am between sizes. I may just end up cutting out the padding too but I did buy them because it had it in them so we'll see. Thanks for the recommendation, Trek420! I'm really enjoying mine.

Wore mine for an errand today, and they are fantastic!

Really, really great! I'm so glad I got a pair!
