Simply awesome. Snug, but comfortable. After a few miles, I really forget I'm wearing arm warmers at all. Really. Just the right amount of "bent-arm fit", by which I mean, they seem to be cut with the slight, natural bend of the elbow spot on. Subtle aesthetics: they look way cooler than all my others (well, better than the Pearl Izumi and DeFeet ones I've sported -- but no more!). I've got two pair now, and I probably (eventually) will get a third in one of the other styles available.

These have turned out to be great shorts for me. I initially ordered a size L, but discovered that although these are made by an American company, the sizing is definitely European. An XL fit me better, but not *quite* tight enough for me (I like just a bit more compression on my thighs). The only problem I found is this "in-between-ness" of the my body size versus the L - XL size jump (if that makes sense). I'm 6'1", 185lbs, and 44" (c), 33" (w). Despite all that, I like these shorts a lot. They don't bind or chafe anywhere, and once I get a lil' sweat going, the leg bands have just the right amount of "grippyness". As far as the material, construction and looks go, these are top notch for this price point. And they look so cool -- with or without the matching jersey. I've ridden them 4 or 5 times, each time for at least 80 miles, and they've performed just fine throughout. If they do this well in 6-8 more months, I'll be an extremely happy camper. We'll have to wait and see... :) ----- Ride to work. Work to live. Live to ride!
