For reference, I am 5’2 and 128 lbs now. I’ve bought other similar shorts from Garneau in size S before. I’ve gained a little weight and they were fitting a little too tight around the bottom of the legs, so I decided to get the next size up M in this model. I was really happy when I got it because it fits great around the legs and waist at first. However, the chamois is too wide that it digs into my inner thighs. I thought, no big deal, and rode the bike anyway. Well, they started riding up during the ride. So given that I normally wear S or XS sized bottoms in other brands, my conclusion that M is just too big for me and would fit true to size for a truly M girl.I have been looking for new riding shorts with a short inseam. These fit the bill perfectly. The overall material is the perfect weight. The padding is just enough, so not too bulky. I did read other reviews that said the leg did not stay down, but for me they did. I will be ordering another pair!I have done a few 50 mile rides with these. They’re my favorite of all my gel shorts, with the best padding. I especially like the material of the rest of the shorts, as they aren’t made of that thin shiny lycra.I was hoping I’d like these since I have other Garneau shorts. Their ok but really retain sweat.I rode a 60 miler and thirty miler and had horrible chafing both times even though I use butt butter. I've never had chafing before with my other training shorts. It did not have the thigh pocket as advertised. This pair is already showing wear at inner thigh though I've only ridden two rides. I've had Garneau before and loved them. It has the usual very comfortable Garneau waist band. I bought the large and will return it.I typically wear only Garneau and when i saw Amazon had some, i figured it was a no brainer. The quality in the fabric isn't great, much thinner than my other Garneau cycling shorts and the legs ride up. The chamois is good, however, on rides longer than 20 to 25 miles, they are not a good option.The elastic/ lycra was loose and it rode up my leg.I loved the way they fit and very comfortable when riding for a long period of time.
