My favorite bike shorts!
"These shorts are sooo comfy. The waistband stays put and even across my stomach. The stretchy pocket is great for stashing sunglasses or small snacks. The fabric is thick but soft. I love them!"

Description
If you're a serious rider who spends a lot of time in the saddle, goes on tours, likes gravel or simply want the best, our Grand Touring Short is a great choice. Filled with features like touring pockets and more padded chamois, it's also made of Polartec's tri-blended Powerstretch fabric which dries super quickly and fits beautifully. Designed with all-day comfort in mind, the waistband is elastic free and bonded to reduce seaming against your front waist. The leg bands, too, are designed without a high degree of restriction, instead using silicone chain grip on the inside of the leg hem to keep things gently in place. 8.5 inch inseam.

fit notes
If in between sizes, size up.
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
This was my first Terry
"This was my first Terry shorts. I ordered my usual size M and they were so big and baggy! The elastic at the bottom of the legs was loose and the material by my thighs was so baggy. According to their size chart I’m a medium, but that is not the case with these shorts. Had to return them."
Some great features but maybe not for petite riders
"I have been wearing Wayfarers for a few years and love the pockets and length. I was eager to try the Grand Touring shorts as some compression would be nice. I've worn them three times, each for about 25 miles and have two complaints. The rise is too high for me as I am only 5' tall. (I will be altering it to lower them by about 1. 5 inches. ) The bigger problem is that the chamois is placed too far forward. It bunches up along my lower abdomen and does not cover my (not too large!) rear. I am in the process of removing the chamois and moving it to a better position. The Wayfarer chamois is also place too far forward but it does cover me without bunching up. I like the compression and the pockets although I think the open pockets on the Wayfarers are better. I think they will be good for longer rides when my alterations are complete."
Love the fabric!
"I usually wear the grand touring shorts but tried the Caicos and love them! The fabric is so light and the compression is the real deal. I’d size up if you don’t want the shorts too snug. I usually wear XL so I ordered these in same size. They are snug but feel good. Also, since the fabric is this and silky, they’re perfect for wearing under gravel shorts."
Baggy!
"I bought my usual Terry size and was surprised to find these so baggy on me. The entire short from top to bottom was just too big. The band around the leg actually flapped out where there wasn't any silicone. Will be returning them."
Perforated: leaves its mark
"The pants are comfy, for sure, from gut room to padded butt. Unfortunately, the perforations leave their mark on my butt, and any ride longer that 25miles starts to make an abrasion. I haven't yet tried wearing a layer between me and the shorts yet. However, an underlayer like that, in the past, has created it's own problems. I'm very disappointed and very sore. The marks, my perforated butt, stay palpable until next day, minimum. I haven't tried the shorts multiple days in a row yet."
Comfortable and good cushioning
"These biking shorts fit my petite frame well. Good cushioning for comfort."
Riding with comfort
"I am currently cycling on a tandem tour in Greece. The shorts I purchased from Terry are the most comfortable I've ever worn. No chafing! Thank you!"
Touring shorts
"I've been wearing the touring shorts since 2007. Never been a better short for long rides. 50 miles a day for many day's. The best"
Favorite short
"I had multiple pairs of this short- it’s my favorite! So I lost 20 lbs and dropped a size so bought 3 more pair at my new size. Good chamois for very long rides high enough waist and just the right length"
