I have the Zoic La Vida knickers and really like them! There are two snaps on the bottom so I can tighten them when I'm riding, and loosen them when I'm just walking around. The material is lightweight, and the liner is, well, Kick *** (that's the name of it, and it's very comfortable ). I wasn't sure what to do about the sizing, as my waist put me at a small, but my hips put me at a medium. I went with the medium, and haven't had an issue, as the waist has velcro straps that you can pull in to adjust the fit.



I also ordered the All Night Long shorts for when it gets a little warmer. I had tried on a pair and they're a little heavier-weight material than the La Vida's and have a lower cut waist. I went with the smalls on these. And I love the plaid, plaid, PLAID!

I love these, though am afraid of plaid

My problem is how I am built. Unlike most women, ALL of my weight is in my stomach, while everything is a lot smaller these days I still have that problem. There can be a full size difference between my stomach and hips Outside of being large busted I am built more like a man in that way.

Everything else is skinny

All of this leads to my question, on the shorts you have reported on, and the same for the Greta shorts if someone has experience with them. I do NOT want to get them to fit my stomach (I am extremely high-waisted which is why I am not referring to my waist) but to fit my legs. Do the waistband in these shorts provide enough give for this? I wear a medium in PI shorts (and their baggy shorts as well).

[NoNo]

They do have a non-plaid version. Maybe they would work for you, since, as I pointed out, they're a low-cut waist. So maybe your stomach wouldn't come into play. They just shipped today, but when they come in I'll post a picture to give an idea of their fit on a "real" person and not those stick models they love to use.

Oakley shorts fit wonderfully for a curvy butt.

No-No, I like the looks of the La Vida. Are they a baggy type short or are they more fitted? Thanks.

Fresh pictures just for you!


As you can kind of see, they're about at their limit around my hips, and these are mediums. The right leg is on the first, "looser" snap, while the left is on the tighter, "biking" snap.


I have the waist straps pulled as far as they can go to get it to fit properly. Without those, I would certainly have the ever-unflattering gap over my rear

Hope that helps some!

No-No, Thanks so much, that was so nice of you!! Personalized pictures are a lot more helpful than the catalog pictures on websites. I really appreciate your trouble.

I like those shorts a lot, and have been looking for some but so far have just seen them in the black. I'm sure I'll find them though, I believe that's the oxford color.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the pics, and I like the nice deep pockets as well.

Didn't mean to take over the thread! Glad the pictures were helpful. I know I never find the catalog pictures particularly useful.

This thread is costing me money! But I need new shorts, and I only ever wear baggy ones. And they are on sale, and super cute. New shorts justified, thanks for the tips ladies (I think I may order the baggy PIs too while I'm at it, I mean they are on sale and all).

I like the baggy PIs, just got a pair. I can only afford one more pair of shorts though so have to choose carefully - I also want a pair of bib-shorts

No-No - does the plaid shorts come with a front pocket down the leg? It looks like it. I am also considering getting a pair of inexpensive cargo shorts and wearing the liner from my PI shorts...

There's a very small pocket down one leg. Then two front and two rear. Once you have a good liner, you could certainly grab any pair of shorts you wanted to throw over them.
