Bella Max Tour Bike Short

I am not sure they are true to size. They look like a size Medium. I bought large. The first time I tried them on, I thought, no way, these don't fit. I've bought size large in Terry before and the measurements on the size chart are why I chose that size. However, I was fighting water retention on the first try on and lost that water weight. The second try on was still tight through the hips but they fit. Since I generally lose weight while on tour, they will fit. They will give good support for my leg muscles.

"New" Fabric an Issue!

I have bought this size and style before. The chamois padding is EXCELLENT. However, the "new" fabric is tight and difficult to pull up on bulky 'loose' sweaty bodies! I feel it also doesn't 'breathe' as well as the previous fabric.

Poor fit.

These didn’t work at all for me. The fit was too tight even though I always order Small bike pants at Terry. I also don’t like the heavy elastic around the bottom. That type gives me a rash I’ve hot weather. These went back.
