Nice fit great for spinning
I bought a pair of these bike shorts in black about a year ago and they worked great. I needed another pair and bought the grafite color and love the fit and comfort. Some people may not like the thickness of the riding pad but I find it comforting.
Spin Knickers are the Best!!!
These capris are the best I have found. Look great on, not too padded and bulky in the rear. I have been spinning for 6+ years and refuse to buy a pair of biking shorts because of the way the look (like you are wearing a diaper). These capris are flattering, fit well and feel great. When I get off my bike there is no embarrassing sweat stain on my crotch either. I like the black and plan to order 2 more pair just to have because I love them so much. My one word to Athlleta...Loose the graphics on the back waistband.
Great Spinning pant
I purchased a pair of these cycling pants to teach an early morning Spinning class, which seques into a 30-minute core workout. They are wonderful. The sham/padding is just enough protection, yet not as bulky as my cycling shorts, which is nice when we transition into the core part of class. I have them in two colors; the black and asphalt/dark charcoal. No complaints. I am 5'6", 140 pounds, and I purchased a Medium.
Well, the reviews had me nervous! But I was already ordering something else and these were on sale, so I decided to gamble and try them despite all the reviews about the "bunching in the crotch" issue. (Plus, I'd already bought the Spin Shorts and loved them, so I figured I'd be safe with the Capris.) I am SO glad I did! These are very nice cooler weather cycling capris! And I LOVE the gem blue!!! Super cute alternative to the plain, traditional, boring old black. The fabric is nice and thick and the cut is very flattering/slimming. They are just the perfect length! They stay in place and the ... do not ride up or roll. I like the lighter rear padding (not so bulky) for spin class and shorter rides and I do NOT have ANY issue with them bunching up inappropriately or puckering in an unflattering way. (I guess I lucked out, but I own them in two colors now and neither has this problem as described by others.) My favorite feature is the fun "tattoo" across your lower back, just below the rear waistline! So cute! The only problem was that right out of the package, the exposed front seams were ragged and rough (poorly made). I actually couldn't believe they had passed Athleta's quality control! Everything else I own has always been very well made. I would absolutely have sent them back or exchanged them, but I loved the color and there were no more in my size. So... A few minutes of trimming with my fabric shears and now they look perfect! So I kept them and am happy. If it helps, I am (almost) 5'5" and 116 pounds... I measure 25" waist and 36" hips and the XS fits perfectly!
Great for spinning.
I spin a lot but always just wore regular tights. These have more padding so its helpful. They are cute, have good details and are true to size. The bottom at the calves are a little too loose. The waist is a bit low for a spin knicker - we do spend a good amount of time bent over a bike and I feel like I am always checking to see if its riding too low in the back. I got the grey only because they were out of the black in my size, I wish I could have gotten black.
