Description
Sometimes a short becomes such a hit that we have no alternative but to introduce another length of it. Meet the shorter length Wayfarer 7. Four inches shorter than the original Wayfarer, she's a lovely alternative for shorter riders and higher tan lines. Made in the USA out of the ultimate French performance fabric – nylon with a satin matte finish, sensuous next to skin feel and high spandex for a compression fit. Designed to be the kind of short you can comfortably ride in all day thanks to a higher rise, side pockets, our Flex Air Chamois and a elastic-free hem treatment.
Proudly designed and sewn in the USA at a green energy-certified facility, supporting local jobs and the highest standards in quality and fit.

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
Good fit but legs roll up
"As a short person and a fan of the Wayfair material, I was excited to see these 7” inseam shorts. I bought two pair in charcoal and garnet colors. While they fit me well, the legs roll up and I keep having to pull them down. I think I’ll keep them, but I’ll have to sew some silicone anti-slip material in the legs."
The best biking shorts
"I love these shorts! I love the high waist and the sporty length. Also, the phone pockets are awesome!"
Very happy with these bike
"Very happy with these bike shorts. I especially like the pockets. I like the fact that the fit is not too compressive. The customer service representative suggested that I buy up one size as they run small. I agree with her. Additionally, they went pretty well, which is important to me since I live in a hot climate."

"Wonderful"
I like the shorts, but
"I like the shorts, but don’t love them. The fabric is definitely to my liking and the wide waistband fits well. The chamois seems to have a little more material than I need, but is manageable. My least favorite part is the no grip legs. Which now ride up while I ride turning the 7” inseam into more like a 5 1/2-6” inseam."
Uncomfortable waistline
"I wish I liked these shorts more. The chamois is nice and thinner, which I prefer as the thicker ones tend to bunch up on long rides. The length is great on the legs and the pockets are an added bonus. The waistband, however, is very small. It is also very high waisted. So much so it was about an inch or so from my bra line. They were very uncomfortable on my abdomen and it kept rolling down during my 50 mile ride."
Excellent Shorts
"These shorts had all the features I wanted: soft fabric, comfortable, pockets, great length, no sausage effect. Winner! I am 5'2" and ordered a large."
Great All Around Comfort
"I love this short. Great length, comfortable waist, soft fabric, good pockets, and I have not had trouble with them riding up on the legs. I am 5’4” at 140lbs. I got a large. It’s slightly loose on me but not bad…. i like it a lot."
EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for!!
"I bought these in both colors. I love the pockets! I’m not a fan of bike shirts and with these shorts I can carry what I need without having to wear a bike shirt with pockets. They are a great length for shorter people (I’m 5’2), and very, very comfortable. Haven’t worn any of my other bike shorts since I bought these 2. Will definitely buy more next season."
