Men's Multi-Sport Knickers | Urban Pedal Pushers | Loose Fit Activewear Cargo Capris

I have 2 pair that I've worn on hundreds of rides since 2016 and both are still in excellent condition. No seam loss. No fade. All zippers functional. No rips or tears despite more crashes than I'd like. They are tough. They have elastic in the waist, AND an abundance of belt loops, which I really like. 17" inseam. I love these shorts and have worn no other for 7 years.BUT, returns/exchanges are a real pain as they don't use the Amazon system. The current price is double what I paid in 2016, still a good value, but you'll pay much more if you need to return.Their sizing system is askew. Heed: "NOTE: Sizes tend to run big". Recently I ordered the wrong size and speak from unfortunate experience. Not sure why they can't fix their size chart?

A little bigger than I expected, but that's alright. I wear these every day for commuting. Lots of pockets, stretchy, and breathable. Dry fast when they get wet.

I wasn't sure when I first felt it; the hand is kind of strange -- but then I put the capris on, and it was revelatory. Soft, stretchy, forgiving -- I really kind of love it. I have yet to assess its capabilities in chilly weather or on long rides, though, so I'll check back in about that.The waistband is not excessively aggressive, and the included belt is handy and adjustable.Construction appears to be excellent, consistent with AeroTech's generally stellar products.Length is pretty good -- I stand 172cm/5'8" with a 80cm/31.5" inseam and rather long thighs, and these hit right below the patella. I initially misjudged them; I seem to have been wearing them rucked up somehow so they were hitting higher than they really do. Oops!The rise is a bit long on my body (though not so long as to be uncomfortable -- the waistband sits just below my navel), but I'm quite short-coupled, so on most people around my height or a bit taller it would probably be about perfect. People much shorter than I am might find it rather too high.My husband stands 175cm/5'9", and his femurs are a full 5cm/2" shorter than mine, while his torso is quite a bit longer. These ratio of rise to length on these capris would be perfect for him.I'm not as fond of the toggle-adjusted elastic cuffs. I knew I probably wouldn't be terribly fond of them, though, so that's nothing to complain about, really. Moreover, any fastening system, whether velcro, toggle, or snap, would have potential drawbacks, but it's definitely good to have some way to crank these down and keep the wind out.Fit-wise, these capris are quite roomy by cycling standards. In the medium size, these capris are very, very roomy on me. If you're basing your sizing decisions on typical bike kit (iP, Castelli, ChampSys, etc.) sizes, you might want to order one size *smaller* than you normally would. These are definitely sized more like "civilian" clothes. My only concern here is that roomier fit can sometimes mean potential for chafing on longer rides (on the other hand, on longer rides, one would be likely to wear, at very least, some liner shorts with a good chamois under these).For comparison, my relevant measurements are as follows:weight - 68 kg/150 lbs/10 stone 10waist - 71cm/29"fullest part of hip - 91cm/36" (thanks to the weird, overdeveloped gluteus medius typical of male ballet dancers)fullest part of thigh - 54.6cm/21.6"I usually take a medium in "race-cut" bike kit; in "club-cut" kit, I'm probably a small now (though all of my club-cut kit is medium, anyway, for layering purposes). I am pretty sure I could have ordered these capris in a small and been very comfortable; in fact, I probably will eventually order a small and give the mediums to my hubby.These will be great for cold-weather layering and for tossing on top of my ballet class kit on the way to and from -- and I really couldn't possibly be happier with the sheer array of pockets. I except to get quite a lot of use out of these.I will, of course, update with further information about durability, wind- and cold-resistance, and on-bike fit on longer rides.

UPDATE: I'm 5'11 and 165-170 pounds; in my original review I said that the mediums fit just right, but realized after more use that I spent all my time pulling these up. Got a pair of the smalls, and they DO fit just right. I don't wear a small in anything else. These run large!NOTE: For anyone worried about the button and zipper being on the "wrong" side (European style? -- button and zipper on right side instead of left as you are looking at the pants), I just got my 2nd pair and these have apparently been redesigned; they are now the typical button/zipper format of men's pants in the US (at least the navy mediums I just got were).These are great around town and for the activities they were designed for (like biking). Design is great! I'm 5'11, 170, and the mediums fit just right. They are NOT form fitting by any means (if you want to show off some booty, these don't do it -- or maybe I just don't have what it takes to fill them out). For length, they hit just below the knee (I have others that are longer -- e.g., PrAna knickers -- and I prefer the length on these). They still cover the knees when sitting (great for sun protection when kayaking or biking), but DON'T hit mid-calf (which imho looks kinda weird). I also really like the pocket design -- the front hip pocket openings are straight across instead of at an angle, making it less likely that things will fall out while doing something like biking; all other pockets (2 rear and 2 mid-thigh) are zippered, making it impossible for things to fall out. The material is lightweight, not sure how it will be in terms of durability. Will update if these wear too much or fall apart quickly.SOME POSSIBLE DOWNSIDES: Some people mention that these get wet easily and/or don't breathe well when used in very warm/hot conditions; in other reviews, people say the opposite. I can't comment on that yet, have only used them in fall or early spring weather so far, and for pretty mild rides. We'll see once summer's here. The belt is also DEFINITELY flimsy, but at least it's not a built-in, integrated belt ... if it breaks or if you don't like it, just remove it. Will update after more use if I change my mind about these, but for now I'm a fan.

I was looking for cycling shorts that would fit over my knees. These are it, comfortable stretchy, loose fitting, plenty of pockets and covers my knees when pedling
