Zoic capri bummer

**KnottedYet** · 05-22-2006, 07:57 PM

Yep, those are the ones. Sigh, and they were gonna change my life, too. I was gonna be sooooo sexy. And fashionable. And faster by at least 3 mph. And my teeth were gonna look whiter, my eyes greener, my hair redder, and my freckles cuter. Gorgeous hotties were gonna offer to buy me drinks and clamor for my attention.

Really.

The chickie I talked to Friday said she didn't know if they would be getting any XL's again this year. If you are a 12, don't try the L.

Darn, well, I'm nowhere near a 12 I guess I'll just have to keep flossing and training for whiter teeth and 3 mph faster speed.

Seems like those urban style knickers are kinda slim through the hips... or maybe I have big hips.

Have you checked out the Gore Terra Lady 3/4 Knickers or the Shebeest Boardrider Capris? Both of those are available in XL. And if you order another pair as an exchange, TE won't charge to ship those out to you.

I tried the Shebeest ones in a large at the LBS. They looked way too tight and they didn't have an XL for me to try. They're kind of expensive anyway so I almost passed on them all together, but then REI had a sale so I used their 20% discount coupon and my member refund and it ended up being a nice deal. The XL's are slim at the hip and loose at the waist, but they have a little waist adjustment thingie which helps a lot. Plus the knees are articulated so you don't feel the fabric tugging at your thighs with every pedal stroke.

Those are cool, too. Part of why I really wanted the Zoics is that they are cotton. And I could wear them to work.

One of the biker chicks at work said she might be interested in my Zoics, so she'll try them on tomorrow.

I've been wearing my Royal Robbins capris with bike shorts underneath. Works well, so I'm interested in other capris. Especially with leg gussets like the Zoics have.

Maybe i should go check out the Gramicci website, too.

You might be looking specifically for a capri with a chamois or a pad, but if not, I really like these capris for my ride to work:

llbean ripstop capri

I like that they don't grab tightly around the thigh. They also have the articulated knees. There is one rear zipper pocket (and the two front reg. pockets). I also wear them hiking and kayaking, so they are good all around. They dry quickly.

I bought the pearl izumi versa capri from TE, and while I like the fabric and it is stretchy, the hips really hug. I feel like I need to wear something long with them.

Ooooh! The LLBean capris come in red! I may have to get a pair.....

I love these, but I don't know where I'd ever wear them. I wish they'd come down in price to about half. Then I couldn't resist.

Yes, but will any of them change your life?

I'm getting tempted by these. When I ride to work I bring a change of shirt but I stay in bike tights. Pants that look like pants would change my life

KnottedYet,

We JUST received 3 pair of XL in Aloe. Just now put them online.

Are those hotties I see coming your way?? Can't tell...the glare from those white teeth are obscuring my view...

Best,

Susan

COOOOOOOOL! Thanks for the heads-up! (I haven't bought them from the Zoic site yet)

Knotted, don't. Get 'em from TE. Mine just arrived and the zipper's stuck.

First thing I've ever ordered online then returned. Bummer.

Life remains unchanged so far.

Trek, if you ordered them from us, give us a call in the morning. We'll send you a new pair if we still have your size, and a postage-paid return envelope in which to send back the damaged one. Sorry for the hassle.

**Trek420** · 06-01-2006, 08:57 PM

nah, they are from Zoic so I will call them if i can't get the zipper to work.

**KnottedYet** · 06-01-2006, 10:07 PM

Trek (and Susan!)
Oh, no. the only reason I'd order from Zoic is cuz TE was out of XL's. I'll be calling tomorrow to see if I can snag one of those 3 pairs.

Much rather get 'em from TE. I'm just glad the first pair I ordered fit my friend.

They do run pretty small.
