Review by EdReviewed 7/20/2023by EdSt Petersburg, FlComfortable and Durable I bought 2 pair of these this time. My prior purchase was of a single pair a couple of years ago. I bought one pair so as to try them out. They worked well for me - good fit, conform to body movements, comfortable to wear, and have proven themselves to be quite durable.

Review by bjbeetleReviewed 1/20/2023by bjbeetleCycling EnthusiastSaratoga Springs, NY1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Very comfortable linersI have a couple of these liners I normally use with my winter tights. These are very comfortable with nice padding and nice waistband. At 5'8" and 157 lbs, I am kind of in-between the S and M sizes. I opted for the M and happy I did. I think the S would be too small.

Review by Paul HReviewed 11/15/2022by Paul HCycling EnthusiastToledo, OHComfortable fitWhen I first put on the liner I thought the chamois was going to be too bulky. I was wrong. They were very comfortable under my winter wind pants. The size chart guidelines were a spot on fit for me.

Review by Speedpilot Reviewed 10/31/2022by Speedpilot Cycling EnthusiastCincinnati OHGood under shorts and for indoor sessionsUnder sany shorts for adventure riding , the mesh keeps me cool and comfortable. Then I thought why not on the trainer for indoor rides too - great for that as well.

Review by Rick S.Reviewed 7/1/2022by Rick S.Chicago 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Great under bibs for long rides.5'7" 126lbs. Size small. I wear these under bibs for rides of 100K or longer. The smooth chamois provides just enough extra padding to provide relief to the sit bone area, and so far has prevented saddle sores. Makes long rides much more comfortable. Just bought a 2nd pair.

Review by rick the riderReviewed 5/26/2022by rick the riderCycling EnthusiastVail and Tucson1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.These liner work great for meI have found this is an excellent product to use under my biking bibs. It gives one more layer of protection to my rear end. With these liners and butt butter it sure helps from getting saddle sores.

Review by Mark PeaReviewed 3/9/2022by Mark PeaCycling EnthusiastEast Indiana0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Comfortable & flexibleI've tried a number of different liner shorts & this one is excellent. It fits nicely under jeans but can also be used effectively with tights in different combinations. Not too expensive and a good combination of comfort and flexibility.

Review by Nick SReviewed 7/27/2019by Nick SDaily CommuterCoeur d''Alene, ID3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Order the larger SizeThis is my first pair of Chamois shorts and they are quite great. $40 for chamois underwear seems a bit stiff, but after shopping around a bit, it's really not bad.
I'm a deluxe sized rider and I ordered the 2XL. Per the sizing guide, a L should have fit me, however, I know my thighs are pretty large, so I ordered 2XL. It fits pretty well, and feels great. Don't go by the waist sizing. Order something you know is big enough. Being oversized doesn't seem to be a problem, except that maybe you have to pull them up more.

Review by eddie1966Reviewed 11/5/2018by eddie1966Daily CommuterOlympic Peninsula, WA5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.light duty linerI use this liner on my commuter. The chamois pad is not too huge but for my commute mileage of 10 miles, it is fine. Probably not the liner you'd want for longer mileage rides, but lightweight and quick-drying, which is helpful for a commuter. They are a bit shorter in the leg than others I've had, but that's fine because I mostly use them under a commuter pant. Not sure on the durability yet, since I've only had them a few weeks. No issues so far though.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/22/2020by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSeattle area2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Comfortable seating on longer rides.The Chamois in these newer designed liners is one solid piece which allows more area to move on to find seating comfort when on longer rides. These liners are good to use when riding in cut-offs. BTD have them on sale now and then too.

Review by DonReviewed 8/6/2020by DonCycling EnthusiastBoulder, CO2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Liner shorts convert walking shorts into riding shortsThese liner shorts work as intended to allow comfortable biking while wearing more civilized looking walking shorts.
Pearl Izumi makes quality stuff. Size Small fits my 30-31 inch waist well though snugly, and the chamois worked OK to smooth MTB impacts on a rough dirt road. Whether the chamois would work well enough (compared to a real bike short chamois) on a rougher MTB trail is uncertain.

Review by EchoWhiskeyReview for Pearl Izumi Men's Liner ShortsReviewed 5/5/2017by EchoWhiskeySpokane, WA1 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Comfy, but leg band is too tight. The chamois in these liners is quite nice. Unless you're wearing some loose fitting jeans however you're still going to look like you have bike shorts under your clothes! No big deal though right! I guess it depends on what you had in mind. I don't mind the slight diaper butt look, but what did bother me was that when I were them under my ABC pants (nod to those who know!) the leg bands were very obvious under my slacks were they were compressing my skin! So I'll keep searching for a pair with a looser leg band. Meanwhile, these will be excellent with shorts for warmercasual commute days or the mountain bike!
