If you don't mind big padding

By Maya Ranked #666 - Women's Shorts February 10, 2009

In general I prefer European brands because they are made for slimmer bodies. I am pretty slim (24" waist, 34" hips). I like the simplicity of these shorts as well as the fabric. It's light but strong. Great for warmer places. These shorts are shorter in length relative to some other shorts, but they are not outrageous. They are longer than many tri-shorts I've seen. My problem with these is the padding. I think the size of the padding is the same no matter what size of shorts you buy. The padding is NOT proportionately smaller or bigger. Therefore, if you buy a smaller size short, you end up with gigantic padding. In fact, most of my butt was covered in padding. Very not sexy. With this logic, if you are a bigger person, thus need a bigger size shorts, you should be pretty happy with the amount of cushioning.
