First time ordering these shorts.
"First time ordering these shorts. The waist fit fine but the legs at the bottom were way too loose. They looked like walking shorts not biking shorts. Had to return."

product care
Remove your shorts and launder asap for best results as residual sweat may damage the chamois. Wash only in delicate cycle at 86 degrees. Use neutral non-aggressive detergents, keep like colors together and avoid dryers. If you use chamois butter/cream, your garment's ability to wick moisture will be greatly reduced and the durability of your chamois may be compromised. Note: we recommend that you wash new bottoms prior to use.

Reviews
I’ve been riding for 20
"I’ve been riding for 20 years and these shorts are my go to whenever I have a longer ride. After twice a week 30 mile rides year round these shorts have held out for more than three years. The chamois gives the perfect cushion for me and the fabric has withstood some tough treatment. I wouldn’t have needed a new pair but headed to a long bike trip with many bike to back days so figured my bottom would appreciate a new chamois."
My favorite!
"My favorite bike shorts. Great chamois. Waist is comfortable. They wear well."
Shorts
"I have several pair of Terry cycling shorts. I haven’t decided if I like the loose fit on the thigh that these have. I’ve worn one pair and they feel fine."
Great fit
"First to great"
Not for me . . . . BUT
"These were really nice well constructed shorts. The sizing was good too. But . . . The pad was in the wrong place. When sitting on bike seat there is little padding on actual sit bones while the pad comes way up your backside. Sadly had to return. Their return process was good. I did purchase the $3 return protection."
Nice but could use better padding for long rides
"These are nice quality shorts and fit me well. I liked them enough to buy a second pair. The chamois pad is good for 30-40 mile rides but my butt and crotch feel uncomfortable on longer rides. I did 65+ miles this past weekend and frequently was shifting positions to take the pressure off. I don’t know if there are any cycling shorts that would make a metric century ride more comfortable but I’m thinking thicker padding might help. On the plus side - Terry’s customer service is great. It’s a small company located in Vermont and they are very responsive to calls and emails."
Comfortable shorts, nice length
"These shorts were a nice fit for me. The legs are just a tad loose but still comfortable. I’m average curvy, 5’6”, and 120 lbs. I might have gotten away with the small but am fine with the medium. I tend to be a “small and a half” with Terry brands. I found the seat padding to be adequate for my 15 mile rides."
Bike trip
"So very comfortable and perfect. But I thought I order the longer ones that come to knee and I opened on bike trip and the shorter ones. My bad. Very good shorts!"
Love these bike shorts!
"I have never worn Terry bike shorts before. I’ve ridden across the us, down to San Diego from the Canadian border and many, many shorter rides. Just to say, I’ve done my time in the saddle and suffered the consequences of riding long periods with the wrong shorts. I love the softer fabric, compression and the pad. I have had no troubles on my latest tour. We’ve been riding 60 miles a day and my bum is fine! The only thing I would like is a usable pocket. I also got a pair of cyclone shorts (not good for this sort of riding) but I love the phone pocket. I thought I’d love the zipper pocket on these shorts, but because it is high on the hip, it is unusable for a phone. I will be getting another pair! Or 3 🤣 I am now a Terry touring short customer for life!"
