best shorts for distance

"Best" may be in the eye of the beholder and those with unlimited funds. But I've worn Pearl Izumi for years. I've used them on 25 mile time trials to 160 mile road races. Never once been uncomfortable, disappointed, or had a pair fail. I'm 6'1" #173 and large works great for me. Hope this helps.

These are true to size, and you want it to be a little tight so they don't slip. I am female, 170 lbs, and the large size is perfect for me. These are great shorts, just got back from Utah where I took some hard falls, these are still going strong.

these shorts are just good enough to be used as underwear. Very confortable and the dryfit material keeps moisture away =)

Yes but the material used is long lasting; unlike some other brands where the Velcro hooks come unbent and the soft material becomes fluffy. Has not happened to these shorts. I have three pairs and they get used a lot!

I found the compression a little lacking in these shorts. I much preferred compressions shorts from Moving Comfort for running.

I wear a size 4 or an XS in street clothing, but I wear an S in these shorts (and most sportswear). They fit me perfectly. So I'm guessing these shorts are probably a 4-6 and a medium would be an 8-10. If you get the right size, you will love them. My oldest pair is probably four years old and still looks new, despite being worn once a week all this time.

Yes, they are all the same length. There is also a longer version that is 11". Great shorts, have bought many pair.

I'd say yes. They are not much different than sports shorts, they are the same thickness of any sports shorts I've ever felt. I wear them under my jeans, they allow for great concealment.

I don't know about that. They have the mesh lining and the pockets are nice. They are a little longer than most shorts I have tried. I really like them for tennis.

I am a very picky individual...don't like to much room in the ass region. The shorts fit nicely. I'm slim, weigh in at about 165, 5'10.

Get the largest they have. it will feel better in the longrun. You can hem the length if you like - but these are sized for Koreans.

Yes very quick-drying! I have several pair in different styles and I also have shorts in same fabric! They feel great on!

Sharon B. I am a 42-44 inch waist and I weight 271 lbs. I ordered the Pearl Izumi shorts and they fit me pretty well! they are comfortable for long rides and I dont have any issues with them at all! The padded area really helps for the long rides.

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

These are great bike shorts! FYI- I have 33 waist and ordered Large. Probably could do XL if I wanted to have a baggier fit but large is fine for my liking. I think I have 4 sets of these as they are the best baggy bike shorts I have found

Yes but they do not have padding on the outside thigh and hip area like sliding shorts do. I use these for MMA fighting. I love them. Mediums are between 32 and 34.
