Exceptional quality in every aspect of the short. My wife has been looking for shorts that have just the right padding and these do it for long rides. And, they don't produce the famous sausage leg problem when you have beefy legs due to lots of cycling. Those who experience this know of the issue and the way they designed these to be longer and without a tight fit at the bottom of the leg (above the knee) works just perfectly. Great price for a top quality product and we bought three x-small for a 107 lb, 61 in tall.
