The Grand Touring Bike Short is designed for serious riders seeking comfort and functionality. Customers appreciate its long-ride suitability, well-designed pockets, and quick-drying fabric. However, opinions on fit and size vary, and some find the chamois inconsistent.

"I’ve worn these twice now and they were quite comfortable. My first ride was 50 miles and I had no problems with the shorts. I like the zipper pocket too which works well for a car key or thin wallet. There is also a mesh pocket. They are on the stretchy side for bike shorts but that seemed to work well so far. I bought the large and am 5’6” 150 lbs."
"I bought these shorts because padding was suggested for longer rides. Very ☹️ disappointed. Euro shorts much better/comfortable padding/chamois for me. The pockets are great. The material dries fast! They failed the job for me. I have 159$ shorts I can’t wear/Its a bummer. I am glad I bought another pair of Euros shorts"
"I'm a bit disappointed because the rear leg area is quite puckered as shown in the attached photos"
"Terry brand are now my favorite bike shorts. I bike a lot and was always in pain. . . both bone and tissue. These shorts are wonderful. So happy I found them. They are very comfortable, true to size and have pockets for my phone when walking around off my bike."
"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!"
"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."
"Fabric puckered where it was sown to the padding. Legs were baggy. The fit was terrible. Every other thing I have bought in the past have been good. Returned this item. It going to cost me $9 to return it"
"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."
"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."
"True to size, super comfortable. Definitely a great choice for recreational/long rides👍"
