The shorts are awesome. I am 6' 2" tall and 220 lbs. I have a hard time getting shorts to fit. The XLs fit perfect. I like the compression of the short. The pad is awesome as well. I did an 80 mile ride in the shorts three days after I got them. There were no issues. No hot spots, no chaffing, just coomfort I would recommend due to quality and cost. They probably could charge more for the shorts they are just an awesome allround package. I bought 4 pair.
