Pearl IzumiMen's PRO Short(Return to Product Page)

These are my go-to chamois cycling shorts. The cost twice as much as entry level shorts but over the course of the year they are worth it. I ride 3 to 4000 miles per year and I buy a new pair every year. I have had sit-bone pain issues at times related to lumbar stenosis (according to my PT) and the padding in these shorts is really helpful. Any item (shorts, shoes, gloves) where your body is having contact with the bike is worth investing in. Highly recommended.

I like these shorts. I've been a long time PI Pro short user. The company changed their Pro short design with the 2019 style year. These shorts are the 2022 style year with the extra inch or so at the waist. This helps to eliminate the "plumber's crack" feel. Though, be aware that these shorts still run lower in the torso that the 2018 or earlier style year. For me the legs are too grippy - they catch on my toes when I put them on. I also have to give them an extra tug and squat to get them fully on. The fabric is thin and is not as long wearing as past years but do last several seasons. I put over 7000 miles on my bike each year, so my shorts see a lot of saddle time. The chamois is the best I've found and that's what keeps me buying them. My wish is that they were lower priced.

You have to be careful buying the PI shorts. PI ruined them with the 2019 design, which are too small and you cet the plumber's crack effect. They fixed this with the 2022 design by adding a 1 inch waist band, but they are still a bit tight. I love the Shamir. It is very well padded. I wish that PI had stayed with the 2017 design.

By far the best shorts ever they are expensive but worth it

They are a perfect size and shape for me. They are very comfortable and now my new favorite biking shorts.

I've worn these shorts for years, they never let me down in fit or comfortably.
