Zoic capri bummer

[KnottedYet]

Got my order (which I placed Friday afternoon) today from TE. Dang, that was fast! Unfortunately, the Zoic capris I ordered are terrifyingly small. The chickie on the phone said they tend to run small when I asked her. I was a bit concerned because all my measurements are at the edge of the size cut off L to XL. But they didn't have any XL. So I sprang for L and crossed my fingers.

Other than that, they were great. Nice soft material, good pockets, adjustable waist. The liner was nice too, it fit me very well and the chamois was light.

If they had fit me, I think they'd've been great for riding and for wearing to work. Really like the zippered thigh pockets.

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.

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.
