Why We Like The Giordana FR-C Pro 5cm Shorter Short
Whether for fit or for tan lines' consistency, the FR-C Pro 5cm Shorter Short offers us a different inseam length with a bit less coverage than the standard short. Just as its name suggests, the legs are 5cm, or just around 2 inches in common parlance, shorter than the standard FR-C short.
The shorts are constructed from HC-50 Lycra on the front and side panels, which helps in the compression department. Benefits include increased blood flow and a reduction in fatigue from road vibrations with increased muscle support. The Cirro OmniForm chamois is one of our favorites and it incorporates aloe vera into the face fabric for natural anti-odor properties in this premium insert.

Good fit for short guys
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I’m kind of a short guy (5’6”) and thanks to the pandemic, I’ve been riding a bit more than usual lately (mostly extended sessions on Zwift). Thanks to all my extra indoor time and lack of anything better to worry myself about, I recently noticed how much I hate shorts that hit me at just the wrong spot behind the knee. While in this state of mind, I noticed these on Backcountry/Competitive Cyclist. I already have a way too large collection of Pearl Izumi, Castelli, and Louis Garneau shorts but thought I’d give these a try. These shorts hit me just above the knee and feel great. The pad is a little thick but not so much that it bugs me. All of this translates to my new favorite shorts. If you’re a short person who hates the fit of longer (standard length) shorts, you might find these the perfect length. I’m happy to say I just bought my third pair with hopes of adding another couple of pairs in the future (but not all at once because they’re kind of pricey!). Background on me: I’ve been riding road bikes for ~35 years. Previously strictly road miles, crits, and centuries with friends. Now (thanks to work and kids), I ride mostly indoors using a Wahoo Kickr on Zwift either pre-dawn or post-kid bedtimes. I’m also a gear junky who values quality over quantity when buying new gear.
