Description
Our goal with the Long Haul was to design a lightweight performance-level short that would be up for the challenge of centuries, high heat situations, international touring and gravel riding. We started from the inside out with an upgraded Flex Air Max Chamois which has an additional dual density layer of padding for more comfort without bulk. A combination of high compression fabrics and longer inseam length reduces muscle fatigue but the lightness of the overall short makes them incredibly comfortable. Minimally constructed front waist panels and laser cut leg openings held in place with a stitchless, silicone-free 10mm gripper provide a friction-free experience. Nicely integrated smartphone pocket with bonded edge; made in the USA of imported fabrics.
Proudly designed and sewn in the USA at a green energy-certified facility, supporting local jobs and the highest standards in quality and fit.
NOTE: This short is running small, particularly in the waist. We recommend ordering up one full size for best fit.

Chamois
Flex Air Max Chamois:
The Flex Air Max was developed to provide an extra level of comfort by adding two additional foam layers in key positions on the chamois surface. This multi-density approach is combined with Terry’s innovative shaping and soft wing technology. Seamless chamois with 4-way stretch Elastic Interface Technology provides freedom of movement on the saddle; multi-density foam padding is perforated for increased breathability; light, channeled microfiber fabric in Terry pink is antimicrobial and enhances moisture transfer; soft wing construction reduces bulk at inner thigh to avoid chafing. Made in Italy.

This short is running small, particularly in the waist. We recommend ordering up one full size for best 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
Long Haul Shorts -- Very Comfortable!
"I didn't think i would like the looser fit of the long haul shorts -- but they are terrific! Extremely comfortable and even though slightly looser, they don't ride up your leg. I'm going to order some more."
Long haul bike short
"I wanted a more padded chamois to prevent chafing. The long haul has solved the problem. And I’m back on my bike. Bonus: Movement is fluid without feeling tight and the fabric feels like skin."
Wrong for me!
"The waist is impossibly tight & uncomfortable. The fabric is too tightly woven & not comfortable for my 5’1” 100 pound frame. I ordered small, which is my usual."
Feels too flimsy
"I have returned these shorts because there was very little to them. I’m sure they might be nice and very warm weather, but they didn’t feel like they would hold up"
Long Haul Bike Shorts
"It was a gift & she loves them!"
Returned
"I ordered the correct size based on my measurements and other Terry shorts that I own. There was a huge gap on the waistband at my lower back while the rest of the shorts fit pretty normally. The leg gripper was stuck to itself when I received the shorts and it seemed like it could peel away from the fabric really easily. I used to appreciate the breathable flex air chamois that comes with Terry shorts but can’t sacrifice fit and quality for that, especially at this price."
Best bike short ever!
"I have been buying Terry bike shorts for, well, I think since about they started! This short is the best of all their line, the chamois is all I could want for 30+ miles and the fabric is so light, not bulky like cheaper shorts! Love this one!"
Tip to order a size up was unsuccessful
"The repeated suggestion to order a larger size turned out not to be helpful for me. I returned these and was not inspired to order a different size due to the low compression. I wish you better luck."
Good Long Ride Bike Shorts
"Bought these for the extra padding but didn't read everything. Only 1 side leg pocket. Disappointed there aren't 2. For cycling easy-access pockets are so important. Other than that I like them."
