product care
Remove your tights 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.

Just fine.
"Can’t figure which padding is which but what I bought is fine, a bit less padding than I’d like but overall the fit is very good. I like the waist height and the length. - I’m 5’5”, 125 lbs and bought a medium. (I don’t like my tights super tight). It would be best to describe the padding in more detail."
Great cycling tights!
"I bought the gray color which I love. These have a good padding, and fabric feel. I’m looking forward to more cooler rides thanks to these tights."
Fit Not Quite Right
"I have been a Terry fan for years! My ride clothes are all "5 stars" by Terry, so I was completely surprised that the Wayfarer tights did not fit me at all. (BTW: I own two Coolweather bike tights and several pairs of Bella shorts, which are a perfect fit and have many miles of riding). The Wayfarer tight length, fabric, and pockets are all great. I was especially interested in the UPF 50+ fabric finish. The problem is the fit: the waist is loose and stretchy, and doesn't fit snug to my waist. The tights slip down from my waist, and as a result, I have to keep pulling them up. In addition, the Chamois seems too big, which is odd, as it looks the same as my other Flex Air Chamois. I am not sure what the problem is, but the pad sticks out the back like a duck tail, and when I am sitting on the bike seat, the narrower front of the Chamois slides forward and up, which is uncomfortable and doesn't provide padding where it is needed most. I decided to only wear these tights in spin class rather than on long-distance, outside rides ;-(. The UPF 50+ fabric is not needed inside, but at least I am getting some use of the tights. I really appreciate the other reviewers' comments and 5-star ratings. Although I was hoping to have the same positive experience, and am disappointed with the Wayfarer tights, I remain a loyal Terry fan!"
Perfect Cycling Pants
"Just the right amount of padding and love the pockets on either side! So comfortable!"

"Great! The pockets are particularly easy to use and big enough."
Works as a capri for a tall person :)
"I'm a Terry Customer Service Rep. - and avid cyclist, of course - and love to try products. On the taller side 5"7"+, I wanted to try the Wayfarer Capri because of it's 20" inseam, but the leg opening doesn't stay in place and bunches behind my knees and feels awkward. I tried cutting a little slit, though that didn't help either. The solution was using the tight length - too short to be used as a tight on me - but perfect hiked up a bit! I love the matte fabric, fit, high waist, and chamois. Sometimes it's worth thinking outside the box, and now I have another option for taller cyclists!"
Nice Fit
"Nice fit, the liner is comfortable and not too bulky. It has a high rise waist which works well for me since I am long-waisted. I'm experimenting with wearing tights for spin class to be more presentable since I have spider veins. I teach several different fitness classes in a row, otherwise, I wouldn't bother to try to cover up my lower legs. TMI?"
Okay tights
"They are not as stretchy in the waist as I would like and I think they are a little baggy in the seat as they get caught in my saddle."
Very handy pockets, nice high
"Very handy pockets, nice high waist. Just the right amount of compression. Great fit"
