I'm a shorts gal. I go on long rides with lots of guys into areas where restrooms are few and far between. Bibs are a pain when you need to take a pit stop on the side of the road. These shorts not only address that issue, they are also the BEST shorts. The tall waist band keeps my tummy in place and doesn't roll down. The chamois is dreamy and has kept me comfortable on 100+ mile days with zero sores. The leg gripper keeps the shorts in place even when you get super sweaty (tested in Palm Springs in July at 114 degrees). I have these shorts in all the colors and hope they never change the model. Get them when they're in stock - they go quick!
