Shebeest S Pro Short

[emily_in_nc]

I finally found another pair of shorts that I like as much as the Terry Bellas. I have one pair of the Double D shorts they make and while they are great for very hot/long rides, I find the chamois to be too thick for "regular" rides of 25 miles, etc. Then I bought a pair of the Triple S shorts, which caused me nothing but pain because the chamois just didn't come up far enough in the front. The S Pros solved that problem. They have a wide, elastic-free waistband that is low, below the waist, which I love, but the back is at the regular place it should be. And the material has plenty of lycra, which is a must for me.

I checked them out here on TE, and I think they look GREAT. I think we are about the same size -- did you get the XS? I believe the ad said to size up if you're between sizes, so I wasn't sure if XS or S would be best. I can't really justify $100 for a pair of shorts right now, but will keep my eye out in case they go on sale at some point. Or maybe I'll win the TE shopping spree!

I did buy the x smalls. I wondered about that, but I would rather have to pull them a little over my hips than have them too big. I thought that the chamois in the smalls would be too big and you know what that does...

Thanks...I'll keep that in mind in case I order some! I have bike shorts from XS to M, so I am never quite sure which size to get. The mediums are Performance Ultras from a few years back, and I definitely could have gotten a small...the chamois is not too large, but I do have some puckering on the back seams. Still, they ran really small. The XS are PIs, and the Smalls are Terry. Sizing...what a pain!

I ordered another pair of the S Pros, as I had to throw out my Ultra Ds after getting a saddle sore for the third time after wearing them. The chamois is just too padded. When I put the new pair of S Pros on, I swear, they come up a little higher than my first pair! Not a huge difference, but they feel a bit bigger overall. Very strange.
Emily, I wear x smalls in Terry, but we might just be shaped differently, even though we are about the same size.

Very true, and I also think there may have been some "size creep" over the years. My Small Terrys are about four years old, so I would probably order an XS today as they are certainly not my smallest shorts that I feel comfortable in.
