Review on Comfortable Women's Bike Shorts with 4D Gel Padding, Pockets, and Wide Waistband – Ideal for Cycling, Spinning, and Biking by Efrain Khan

These shorts are great. The fit is spot on, I bought the XL, I'm 5ft 8" and 160-165 depending on the week. The fabric is nice and soft, but durable. The stitching is even, the suede is soft and smooth. My only criticism of these shorts is that the waistband is an elastic piece in the fabric and attaches with just a stitch in the front. I've already washed these shorts twice and both times I had to unwind the elastic inside. It hurts a bit in the butt. When inserting it, I have to make sure that the rubber band stays in the fabric, otherwise it slips and I have to unwind again. I understand that something has to be sacrificed for value, I just don't think it would cost much more to make a stitch (it's literally 1 stitch mid front). Will I buy them again? Tried them on, all colors are sold out. I have the yellow which is actually a lot greener than the yellow but it's ok. They are comfortable, have worn them twice in 95+ degrees, 40+ miles each ride. Would definitely buy again.
