best shorts for distance

"Best" may be in the eye of the beholder and those with unlimited funds. But I've worn Pearl Izumi for years. I've used them on 25 mile time trials to 160 mile road races. Never once been uncomfortable, disappointed, or had a pair fail. I'm 6'1" #173 and large works great for me. Hope this helps.

They seem to be accurate in measurements. I wear 30" in jeans and I ordered 30" and the shorts fit great. There is also a drawstring in them if they are a little bit big.

I wear a 33 and sometimes 34 waist. I have a couple size Large zoot shorts and they fit nicely. They fit pretty snug - probably exactly the way most triathletes want them to. But all of my tri shorts seem to shrink a little over time. So I purchased the XL's for these and I am very happy with them. I would buy an XL again if I had to and I'm guessing that is probably what you should go for. I don't have any issues with any parts sagging or fitting loosely. Depending on your height you may want to go for a shorter inseam as these land an inch or 2 above my knee (just personal preference).

If you wear hip protection I would recommend a medium.... I'm 5'10 36-38 waist and I wear poc vpd hip protectors and the Large fits perfectly. So logically if I were you I would go with the Medium. The shorts have velcor adjustments at the hips so if the medium is a little loose you can tighten it up easy. I used these shorts all last season and they are very high quality. I'm very happy with them

I like these shorts. The padding is very good, but probably not as good as higher-end road shorts. Keep in mind that a lot of discomfort comes from poor saddle fit or poor bike fit, and even the best padded shorts will not eliminate that.

They ride higher than other shorts I've got(basketball shorts mostly).... But not quite all the way up to the belly button. They sit maybe an inch away?

Long, in my opinion. But I like shorts (workout, at least) to fall above the kneecap. I'd guess they are somewhere a little less than 13" inseam.

The inseam is advertised at 5". Mine are 4 3/4". I am 5'6" and they cover my legs appropriately for my age (55). The shorts are the longest I have been able to find for an everyday short for the gym or hiking, or walking.

these shorts are just good enough to be used as underwear. Very confortable and the dryfit material keeps moisture away =)

I would order xsmall(if they have it) or small. I weigh 107 lbs. and can wear small(a little tight) or medium. I love these shorts because they are so comfortable.

The propper men's tactical shorts are awesome. They wash and dry well. My husband loves the extra pockets. I have purchased his shorts at other stores and I have found that they in noway come close to beating the propper. One more comment, these shorts still look brand new after wearing them everyday.

My opinion is that they are much better thn my previous shorts. I might add that I have had a gel pad set cover for years - if you don't have one I suggest that you try it.

I am a very picky individual...don't like to much room in the ass region. The shorts fit nicely. I'm slim, weigh in at about 165, 5'10.

My son uses them for football. He doesn't wear underwear with them. I hope this helps you in your decision. Just to let you know he has tried other types of compression shorts and the Under Armour were the best ones for him.

These shorts run small, a large should be good but it also depends on your physique and the way you wear clothes

Hi Anastacia. The shorts have a little give but they don't have to fit you snug to work. I suggest you order the large and work your way down to a small. You can do it!

I use for biking, but they are light-weight and could be used for hiking. Not as comfortable as shorts, however.
