High quality shorts. I have more to say, but the review submission form is low quality, and I'm not typing that again.

I bought these after falling in love with the Oakley Alloy 2.6 shorts. Who knew Oakley made great cycling shorts? I ordered them in the same size as my Alloy 2.6 shorts, but was disappointed to discover that the Ballistic 2.6 runs larger than the Alloy. Closing with snaps, and lacking a belt loop, the waist sizing really needs to be spot on for these shorts to fit properly. If Oakley added elastic or a nylon web with cinch at the waist to allow for some variance in waist size, it'd be a good thing. The ventilation system is better than that of the Alloy 2.6, and the pockets are nice and roomy. If I can fix the sizing issue, they might become my favorite shorts! Finally, beware of all baggy shorts if you have a road bike with down tube shifters, or a large bike frame with a seat tube water bottle. I find they often catch the levers or the top of the bottle when pushing off from a stop.
