Women's Cycling Clothing Fit?

If they don't fit in the crotch, you'll be sorrier than if they don't fit someplace else. So, if they DO fit in the crotch but not in the waist, that just isn't the right pair of shorts for you, in any size.

Call TE. They're really helpful, they know a lot about every product they sell, and if they don't know they're perfectly happy to pull something off the shelf and measure it while you're on the phone.

Plus 1. I was trying to find a pair of tri shorts once, I had ordered 2 pairs that were my size according to the size charts and niether fit me through the opening, they were choking my quads. I called them up and who ever helped me, did a great job. She opened up each pair of shorts I was interested in and compared leg hole size and give. It was awesome. No fuss on the return and I got what I needed in the end.

Bethany, I am a 14-16 and found the LG Neo Power Shorts in XXL are great. They have a comfy waist and don't bind. I got mine on TE

FWIW, I love my Shebeest SSS Short Plus. I have several pairs of them. They are very comfortable and a nice chamois.

Shebeest is my favourite brand by far. I have the shorts, Capri, and tights. All are comfortable to wear. Nice compression looks flattering and best of all none of them are see thru. Depending on what style you buy the material can be quite thick which may be to warm to wear in some hotter climates. I was wearing PI however I didn't care for how shiny the fabric was.

aero tech's (aerotech.com) elite touring shorts have a drawstring waist, an excellent chamois and a good price. I have four pairs. Love the mesh pockets on the legs for long rides and accessible snacks. Also have a pair of their shorts sourced and mad in the US which are good shorts as well. Next purchase is a pair of their shorts in a wild print.
