"I have several prior years of the soleil short that fit like a glove. I just ordered a few new ones, and the material is totally different (much thinner and less stretchy) and they are tiny compared to the older models. Super disappointed in the changes and will be returning them."
"I love the look! But it's a little tight in the waist. I was told I could ride in it and see if it 'gives' a little. If not, I can return it."
"Beautiful bike short, form fitting and long enough for my long legs. Had to work to pull them over my hips but they stretched out enough and feel perfect. Haven't biked with them yet but looking forward to it."
"I needed to return for a larger size."
"These shorts are so cute, I love that they match my jersey perfectly. I would like a slightly more robust shimmy, but they are fine for a 30 mile ride."
"Super comfortable. I was skeptical at first, because there is much less padding than other bike shorts I own. No riding sores, so I am sold! I cannot wait to purchase more!"
"I typically wear a large, but I have lost 35 pounds and the large bottoms I have from this brand are loose. I ordered a medium, and couldn’t even get them up over my hips. I ordered a large and they are snug. If I was in a store, I probably would have gone to XL, but just didn’t want to do another return. And besides? I have worked so hard to lose 35 pounds, who wants clothes that are still XL??? 5-5, 128 pound"
"Really like the lightweight comfort & fit. The long pocket is very helpful & the color, bright & energetic."
"According to the size chart I needed a medium. I ordered a large and I could only pull them up to mid thigh. If I could get them over my thighs, I suspect that the waist and hips would fit. If your thighs are a size 4 in jeans, the legs would fit, but I suspect everything else would be to big."
"I have 3 pairs of the Soleil shorts from previous years in size small and they fit great and are very comfortable. I like them for mountain biking with their pockets to carry my phone and snacks. I ordered the small this time and I couldn’t get the shorts over my a**! I haven’t gained weight; they are way smaller and the fabric is different, more compressive. These will be going back. Please bring back the old design with 2 pockets! They’re my favorite!"
