Customer Reviews

Fit great, low cost, protects well - use when cycling, not for hanging out
These bike shorts greatly reduce discomfort while riding. They are machine wash and dry (although I'll air dry them to keep them longer). They fit well, the padding in very comfortable and they don't have any obnoxious designs or logos all over them. The price is amazing - similar shorts at my local bike store cost around $75.

And for those reviews I have read that complain about too much padding extending up front making it look awkward while you walk around, I have to say my "friends" up front are more than happy to have a little extra padding up there. I am less concerned about how suave I look walking around in them (you're wearing BIKE SHORTS! please don't hang out on the weekends in public with these on) and more concerned for overall comfort while riding. These accomplish their purpose very well.

Affordable and comfortable
Take this review with a grain of salt... I only wear these for 50 min spin classes. That being said, they are great. Good fit, comfortable, padding doesn't feel too diaperish... I only wish they were slightly lower cut and weren't so long.

I like these shorts much better than the Pro version (I don't like that sticky band that goes around the lower leg).

Aero Tech Designs has good customer service too. I exchanged for a larger size without even asking them first (I just shipped the shorts with a note in the box), and I received the exchange a couple of weeks later.

OK Bike Shorts
On the plus side, these shorts are reasonably priced.

On the negative side, the padding is so thick and extends so far in the front that I feel like I am wearing a diaper when I am walking in them. But, to be fair, you don't buy them to walk in. They are adequately comfortable on the bike for short rides (less than 20 miles). I haven't taken them on longer rides yet because there hasn't been nice enough weather yet this year but it feels like there might be some chaffing near the front of the pad. I don't think the thick pad provides any additional comfort over shorts with a conventional chamois. Since I have only riden in cool weather, I can't comment on how well they will wick away moisture.

I would recommend these shorts to those who are getting their first biking shorts and don't expect to do more than short rides.
