These shorts are comfortable - fit is good (though I should have ordered a smaller size). This brand is more true to size than others (Castelli, Garneau). Waistband is comfortable, wide and stretchy. Leg grippers have these little bumps on them that leave strange marks on your legs if they're too tight.
I tend to purchase Pearl Izumi cycling apparel, so I'm pretty familiar with fit. Legs are alright with this model but the waist fits too low and large. Also there is no draw string if you want to tighten them up. I like a snugger fitting waist with no chance of shorts creeping down.
I have been wearing Peal Izumi bike shorts for 15 years. I must say these are the best fitting and most comfortable ones I have ever had. I have always worn Medium but these run small. I ordered both Medium and Large and sent the Medium back for another pair of Large. They don't ride up and I don't feel like I am wearing diapers - as I did with other styles. I love them!!
These replaced older bike shorts for my wife that were worn and sagging. These fit really well and were just as advertised. She has commented several times now on how much she likes them. Shipping and delivery were just fine too.
