THESE ARE THE SHORTS WOMEN HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! They are SO CUTE, so easy to clean, so comfortable, and 100% for mountain biking. I'm obsessed. (Yes, I should've been wearing a helmet in my photo - I forgot it. I'm sorry everyone) XD

I ordered the geo dot pattern thinking they were black. They are not black, so I returned... But I do love the fit of these and have them in other colors :)

Cute, stretchy, comfy, flattering
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I saw these shorts and decided to take a chance on them. I read the other reviewers' reviews to get an idea on sizing. I was between sizes on the Wild Rye Size Chart. I am 5' 100lbs. I ordered both the 2 and the 4. When I tried them on, the Size 2 fit me much better than the 4 which was too big everywhere. I have and use both compression and baggy shorts when I mountain bike. I usually do not look great in the baggy look. I am petite and tend to look overwhelmed or lost in them. When I tried these on, I was quite pleasantly surprised. They actually looked good on me. I think it is because they have a different profile or outline to them from most of the baggy mountain bike shorts out there which I think are designed for men . They are not that wide in the thighs and quads, but then flare out a little around the knee. The nearest thing I can liken them to is a capri/knicker bell-bottom or flare pant. Additionally, the length of these shorts in the size 2 was just right for me even though I am short. It hit at the knee. Most of these baggy shorts are usually way too long on me. The material is four way stretch, an improvement over most other mountain bike shorts which are only two way stretch. There is no adjustment for the waist either on the outside or the inside of these shorts. So, they either will fit you or they won't. Fortunately for me, they fit. I usually take anywhere from a size 2 to a size 6 in most pants/shorts, so ending up with the Size 2 is in the ballpark.

These are so cute, so comfortable and super flattering. They are really stretchy which makes them great for any ride. I love the pattern too - really fun! They have a nice zipper pocket and front hand pockets. I feel like these do run small, as I usually wear a 0 or sometimes 2 in most things, and I got the 4 in these. You may want to consider sizing up a size.

These shorts are great. The fabric is breathable and has a bit of stretch, and the length is perfect. I really, really appreciate the sizing options, because I rarely see that in women's mtb shorts. I ordered two sizes (6/8), and I ended up keeping the 8. I definitely recommend these to anyone!

I first ordered a 6 given the reviews but sent back for the 4 (my usual size in most brands, but Patagonia/Prana wear 6 -slight loose better than slight tight). They are very stretchy and as other reviewer said they stretch out. 6 would still have worked and 4 a little tight at first but they stretch out (I am 5'8" 139 more broad shoulders and slimmer thighs if that helps anyone).

Purchased swirl dot (blue) in size 6. For reference, I'm size 4 petite women's workwear (e.g. Loft), size small North Face shorts, size 4 Marmot hiking pants, so I figured 6 would be nice and comfy. I was wrong. Material was great, but shorts were tight everywhere you'd want space while mountain biking (hips, thighs). I don't like wearing long shorts, but I took a shot on these just to give them a try - took this as a sign that I should stick to my mid-length shorts for casual riding and regular cycling shorts for more active riding pursuits. Called number with return question and had someone on the phone in less than a minute (pretty unheard of in my customer service experience). Thanks to Ryan for making return process easy and for Backcountry for making shipping and returns process/policy (and charges) transparent on their site.

Didn't fit

I followed the sizing chart and they were suuper tight, basically spandex around the hips and thighs and then the waist had a gap. There was no waist adjustment. When I went to return them I realized that backcountry charges $7 return shipping. Overall very disappointed, mainly about the return shipping.
