"Always a great fit. I am 5'5, 130 lbs. and get Medium. I love the fabric and the chamois is just the right thickness. I do wish that Terry would add a holster pocket for my phone in a future release!"

Description
Bicycling magazine's Editors' Choice.
The Terry Bella Short is known as one of the best cycling shorts available to women. Universally loved for its style, fit and all-day comfort, the Bella has all the best features, Terry's Flex Air Chamois and just the right level of compression. Choose Bella if you want the best bike short made for women, ride frequently and aggressively, and like to support products constructed in the USA. But don't just take our word for it – here's what the editors at Bicycling have to say:
"Our female testers had a tough decision to make, but ultimately voted the Bella Short their fave for features such as its distinctive hot-pink perforated chamois, which delivered on its promise for increased comfort and breathability by wicking away moisture so riders didn't feel like 'I'd wet my shorts after a ride'. They nylon/spandex fabric felt slick and fast, with dark pink or gray stitching that provided just the right amount of flair. The nonelastic front waist should be the standard for shorts: it gives a biblike feel without the hassle of straps or the bathroom antics of bibs. Also, the fit is good as it always is with Terry and the silicone grippers were itch free."
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
This is the bike short
"This is the bike short I return to time and again. The padding is great and doesn’t crawl up on my legs. Great for long distance bike rides. The medium is the right size for me ( returned the small) for a 5’2 /110 pound frame."
Comfortable shorts
"This is my 4th time buying these shorts. They are my go to comfort pair for short and long rides"
Bella bike short
"Great fit, love the design, super comfy and cushioning. So happy to purchase and highly recommend!"
Maybe 4 stars?
"Bella bike shorts have been my favorite for 6-7 years. Mine have lasted well. This pair is a different fabric though and I don’t like it as well. It’s thinner and slicker. I actually find it harder to keep my position in the saddle with these on. But the chamois is the same and that is even more important to me I think. I’ll use these more when the ride is more casual and hoard my old ones for when I can’t be scooching my butt around. I looked again at the website and I do t think I mis ordered and yet I am hoping this will actually get read and I’ll find out my old ones are still available!"
Best shorts ever!
"Comfy. Nice fit. Excellent!"
2nd pair because they're so comfortable.

Bella Bike short
"The padding feels less substantial than previous versions of this short. I may have purchased another model last year but not sure because there is no model name indicated on the shorts. With so many models to choose from it’s difficult to know what you’ve ordered before and what to re-order. I’m not sure why the model name is not indicated anywhere on the shorts but that would be a great addition."
Great shorts 👍
"Happy with this purchase. Since getting them, I've tested them out with a 38-mile road ride and they felt comfortable throughout despite it being a very hot and humid day. I may consider the 5" version next. I was worried about that being too short, but as a 5'-1" person, the regular shorts do feel longer then needed."
My daughter loved them. They
