My Favorite Cycling ...
The Spin ... far and away, my favorite indoor ... am a certified Spinning instructor and I wear these ... four days a week for my classes. They are a perfect length (I'm 5'7"). The pad is sufficient for a 45 - 60 minutes class and doesn't add the bulk of a traditional ... chamois.
Very nice ...
Nice ... comfortable and the legs stay in place for ... True to size - I'm 5'9", 148 lbs and I ordered a medium. They fit perfect and the padding in the seat is just right! I'll probably order another pair soon.
Great for cycle
Love these ... padding in minimal but does the trick. I wear them for spin class and ... outside.
2nd pair
Spin ... great ... ang running. Very lightweight chamois so no bulk. The medium fits great on my 5'2", 140lb body. The tattoo on the back adds a little charm and difference to the pants.
Just as expected..
These ... just like their cousins the knickers which I have purchased awhile back. I really wanted a pair of ... didn't have the big bulky pad but something more stream line and these are them. I wouldn't recommend them for to long of a ride but these are great if you are just doing 20-30 miles. They don't ride up and they are light weight. Highly recommend!
My Favorite Cycling Shorts
These are, by far, my favorite cycling shorts. I am an avid cyclist, Spinning instructor and retired triathlete. I've had lots of cycling ... over the past 30 years and I've got to admit that the Athleta Spin ... one of my favorites. The fit is good on my fairly straight athletic body -- there's a drawstring that I removed because it just wasn't necessary for me. The chamois is pretty light and just right for indoor cycling. I have even worn these to lift weights on the gym floor before a Spinning class and not felt self conscious about wearing padded ... could spend a lot more (and I have) on a pair of cycling ... but you won't find a better fit or more comfortable fabric. I have them in two colors!
Very minimal padding
I love the fit and look of these ... They are very comfortable to wear. The thigh bands are not constricting (even on "athletic" thighs) and they don't ride up. I'm 5'3" and 135 and wear a small usually in Athleta bottoms and these fit great. The only downside for me is the minimal padding - I wasn't sure what that meant, but compared to my ... I'd call this no padding. It's more like 3 layers of the same ... material. The serging is a little thick, but overall were comfortable. I ride a road bike typicallly about 20 miles and these were barely enough padding for me on my women's saddle. However, for an hour long spin class on those seats I think they'd be great, and I do love that they don't feel bulky in the crotch - can go out for coffee or walk aound without feeling weird. I'm keeping them because they're cute and work for shorter rides for sure or when I go to the gym class.
I use these for ... & love them. They're comfortable, stylish, & not too bulky. I'm 5'4", 140lbs, & bought a medium which fits great.
Great length
I am an 8 at Athleta and the medium length is perfect. The legs stick in place without squeezing and the rise is great in the back. The front rise is too low by about an inch. I wore it to cycle and then yoga and the ... were wonderful for both. Cute graphic on the back of the waist.
Disappointing
The ... were cute and they fit great, but the padding looked like a giant pad. It wrapped from the front to the back so it looked like you were carrying a load between your legs. It's too bad because besides that they were very comfortable ... did not ride up while I cycled. I just can't get past how weird they look on so I will be returning them.
not right for me
These ... tight /compression. They have a thick material but they still move. I was worried about the padding but it was fine. They did not look good on me, they didn't seem to move. I could see purchasing for outdoor ... but I was getting something for spin class. The contender skort was cuter and way more comfortable.
