Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational
The 10-panel construction is great. I am comparing it to Cannondale Classic shorts, an Adidas bib, and a Novara Trionfo II bibs. I love my bibs and am less enamored with the Cannondale (my first pair of shorts). These function like the bibs. Very comfortable, good chamois, they move with me, and the elastic in the back of the waist compensated for the lack of a drawstring. They do not have a pocket but my shirt has pockets. I think a comparable non-REI brand short would run $90-100. Note about sizing: according to the chart, my waist measurement put me in a large but my thighs required XL.
