Bought these for use on the trainer. I have always been a medium for PI. Run the Pro and Pro Expedition bibs outside and am used to the fit and compressive nature of the Pro bibs. The are just down right tight. The waist seems similar for a medium and the chamois is nice but the legs are beyond the normal compression fit and just down right tight. Sizing is wonky on these verse the other PI bibs and shorts I have.
I like the shorts - they have one of the best padding. But their size is off - ordered a medium which is too small - need large
I like it. As everyone else says, buy them one size up. I already used them so I am not going to return them; just ordered another pair.
I wrote two other reviews of this product, but now that I have more experience with the PI shorts I have to say that although well-made, the [large] pad isn't the most comfortable. I.e., it's OK for 1 - 2 hours in the saddle, but at least for me, no longer. Btw, it's fine for riding a stationary bike in my gym (Planet Fitness), which has a most uncomfortable saddle since I seldom ride it for more than 1 hr.
Nice, comfortable short, but runs a size too small. If you can get these (in your size) on sale, grab them. Btw, the color is brighter than shown.
Well made, comfortable shorts, but run a size small. (I returned a pair because of this)
I like the blue color and find the shorts comfortable for long distance rides.
Like enough to buy a 2nd pair
