The Power Bike Short offers excellent compression and support for the hamstring and quadricep muscles, thanks to its high elastane content and longer length. Customers appreciate the UPF 50+ rating, wide v-front waistband for core support, and the deep pocket on the right leg. The soft, laser-cut leg bands and Terry's Flex Air Chamois provide comfort and ventilation. Designed and sewn in the USA, it supports local jobs and adheres to high quality standards.

"Today was the first ride with these shorts and WOWSA! I have been riding for 3 years now and I am always thinking about how my bum and lady parts hurt. Not today. All I could think about was how perfect the fit was and how COMFORTABLE I was. For the FIRST TIME! I am so pleased with all the thought and design that goes into each and every piece of clothing at Terry. Thank you for taking my ride to the next level."
"i like these shorts - compression with a lighter weight fabric - i really like the high waist and waistband that doesn’t cut across my belly - for the most part the chamois is good although it could use a slight bit of padding on the wings - i’m hoping Terry has plans to make “power” knickers!"
"Just got back from a 4-day bike tour in Louisiana. Loved the Power Bike short. Comfortable- even though I hadn’t worn them before! LOVED the pocket on one side and rode with my IPhone in the pocket all day- no problems!"
"These are the best made and most comfortable bike shorts I've ever worn and over 40 years I've worn a few. Leg bands keep them in place but don't pinch or feel tight. The padding is perfect thickness and dimensions. I love the high waist in back and the thigh pocket. They wash well and dry in about a day hung on a hanger in the house. They are certainly not cheap but I think they will last virtually forever with good care. With many bike shorts at some point in the ride you think about your shorts and something 'not right'. I just ride and needn't think about adjusting the shorts."
"I can't write a real review because I was unable to wear the power short. I ordered a small, which is what usually fits me in Terry items. I could not get them on at all. The same order contained a spinnaker capri, also size small, and they fit just fine. I am 5'5" and weigh around 127."
"These were so tight and compressive I couldn't even pull them up. I ordered a medium, I'm 5'2' and 130 lbs. they should have fit me. I sent them back"
"These are my favorite bike shorts. After gaining 12 lbs. I purchased size large. I had size medium. I discovered they both fit well. I love the padding, waistband support as well as the leg band, but most of all the length!"
"The shorts looked great but unfortunately they were too small. I have another Terry Shorts in a small size that fit perfectly, if not a little loose. I could not get these shorts over my thighs."
"This is my absolute favorite short. It is so comfortable and works wonderful for those long rides."
"I like these bike shorts, except they are pretty tight for a M. I am 5'/5' and weigh 124. I would have sent them back for a L, but I had already worn them."
