Just Right
"Just the right length, just the right compression, just the right weight, just the right height waistband, just the right tightness in the legs. Only minor change I would make is have one zippered pocket and one open so it’s easier to slide things in. Also, three cheers for the design of the grippy silicone on the leg bands. I did not like some other shorts that had a thick plastic band there. Even though this does require readjusting on occasion, it is much more comfortable and mostly stays in place. 5’5” and 135 with full hips. L worked for me."

Super comfortable and I love
"Super comfortable and I love the length! Also really like the matte color vs shiny and the pockets. I gravel and mtb and have been riding my gravel bike more, in my two layered mtb shorts (under chamois from Terry, and over mtb shorts) and find that it’s hot. I rode in these shorts the other day and basically only want to wear these now. And I typically never wear spandex only but these look good!"

Excellent Chamois and Pockets I Can't Live Without
"I've been wearing Terry shorts for a while, so I was excited to try this pair. Overall, I'm very happy with them and would definitely recommend them. The quality is excellent, which is something I've come to expect from Terry. The fabric feels durable and comfortable on the bike, and the shorts stay in place during rides. I recently wore them on a 45-mile ride, and the chamois performed great. I was comfortable throughout the ride, and the shorts provided the support I needed for spending several hours in the saddle. Compared to some of my other Terry shorts in a size Large, this pair fits just a little tighter around the legs, especially above the knee. It's a very minor difference and didn't affect my comfort while riding, but it's something I noticed. My favorite feature is definitely the pockets. They are incredibly convenient for carrying essentials, and honestly, after using shorts with pockets, I don't think I want to go back to pocket-less cycling shorts again! It's one of those features that makes a bigger difference than you expect. Overall, these are high-quality, comfortable cycling shorts with practical storage, a great chamois, and a great fit. Five stars from me!"

I really like these shorts,
"I really like these shorts, so much so that I ordered another pair and will throw out worn out touring shorts and pass on random short shorts. I really like the length. The fabric is lighter than the touring shorts which will be great for drying and packing on bike tours."

Gotta love a pocket.
"Went for my first ride in them this past weekend. The fit is great. Not tight but fitted and comfy. I love the lenght and the pockets fit my phone in a way that I forgot it was even there, yet easy to access. I am hoping that these will become my new favorites. Need a couple of more rides to make that leap to 5 stars!"

Pleasantly suprised !
"Road biker here, not gravel but wanted the length ( 10ins) and pockets ( 2 zippered). Bit more expensive than I usually pay for bike shorts and the fabric and chamois looked thin but rode 60 miles on Saturday and they performed very well indeed. . . forgot I was wearing new shorts ( a good thing !!). Lightweight, so great for summer riding. . will probably wear tights over them in fall. Only downside ? No tumble drying, so have been washing and hanging to dry."

This weekend I was able
"This weekend I was able to test these shorts out. Extremely comfortable. I chose a medium based on a review I read and was not disappointed. I'm 5 ft tall about 105lbs, small waist-ed with strong thighs. These are not my first Terry shorts and will not be my last."

Love this
"I usually wear the grand touring shorts. Tried the Miss America short. No real improvements in that. This short has easily accessible pockets and one bonus small mesh pocket at waistband for quick access. Perfect for Chap-stick. The waistband is comfortable and the shorts have some compression without feeling tight. The chamois feels similar to the padding in the Grand Touring shorts. I’m definitely taking these on a bike packing trip I have in 2 weeks."

I love gravel
"I loved the shorts but the legs kept rolling up when on was on the trail. Made me crazy. I don’t think I could wear a smaller size. Bummer - I had high hopes! No problem with the exchange even after I wore them ❤️ Terry!"

Will buy these again
"I bought these gravel shorts as I like longer shorts and the description about the chamois seemed to match what I was looking for. I use these for road riding and they were very comfortable. It is one of the first times I was not sore and plan on wearing them for long distance rides later in the summer."
