Review on Pearl iZUMi Women's Escape Sugar Short: Optimal Comfort and Style for Active Women by Michael Powell

I'm 5ft 2in, 110lbs and new to cycling. My friend advised me that the cycling shorts should be very tight and that I buy the smallest size. Based on the reviews and sizing recommendations, I went for a small one. When I received them I tried them on and wow - it was a struggle to get them on my hips! Once put on they feel good. Super tight but not uncomfortable .was on my first trip and felt good. But yes - I regret not returning them before wearing them. I think I could AT LEAST choose a medium, but now all sizes are sold out. I'm not sure if they will expand over time, but now I'm stuck with them. I wouldn't say they are comfortable. I wouldn't recommend going small unless you weigh 100 pounds or less. Unless you like tight hips and buttocks. Otherwise. .some.
