I've worn these shorts for years and am not thrilled with the latest design changes. I have 3 pairs currently working through, I've thrown out at least two after less than a year with the seems starting to show through.Helps tremendously with butt support and I have a nice size booty . I can ride my bike all the time now with no pain in my butt. material is smooth. Doesn't shrink after washing although I did air dry it. Nice colors and doesn't fade.They are comfortable. The padding on your butt is a little wide and thick. I am hoping it will conform the more I ride.Thick padding, but not shaped well for women.Very comfortable, great quality, great sizinglove these for outdoor or indoor riding....,my favoritesFits well, love the navy blue color. Spandex is supportive without being too tight.can not insert my photo because all my injuries are on my butt. DO NOT buy this defective product.
