Fit on Shebeest S-Pro shorts?

[zoom-zoom]

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.

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.

Okay - I have a question about the Shebeest S-Pro shorts: how low do they sit in front? I have 2 pair of SSS, and they are as low as I'd go - I have a long torso, and some of my jerseys just barely meet the shorts. I hate that! Nobody needs to see my 45 year old midriff. From a review I read about the S-Pro, they sound even lower. On the other hand, I just got a pair of Shebeest Pro Splice shorts, and I really like them. They're actually a tad higher in front than the SSS. And I LOVE the lack of grippers (they stay put, no problem) - I ordered them online, so it felt like a risk in many ways, but the price was right. Anyway, the problem with the Pro Splice is the color of the splice panel - a nice blue, but will clash with some jerseys (although it matches one almost perfectly). If the S-Pro fit is similar to the Pro Splice, I'd consider them in the future, for an all-black version.

I think the S-Pro are lower than the SSS, but maybe not. I had a pair of SSS a long time ago...I recall they were higher. But that may have changed. These are below my navel by maybe as much as an inch.

Yeah, I'm with you Skierchickie on the low-rise stuff...HATE IT! I definitely need something that sits right at the waistline in front (due to my lovely tummy pooch)...so anything that sits below the navel is a no-go for me.

I love the S Pro low waist. The wide flat waist band is very comfortable. Of course, everything I wear is low waist, so the thought of anything on my waist makes me itch. I don't think age makes a difference; I'm 57.
I had the SSS shorts many years ago. The S Pros are lower, but I think they were made a bit higher in the front in last year's model, because I have 2 pairs bought in 09 and 2 bought in '10 and they are slightly different.
