Almost perfect if the crotch area get a zipper or velcro underneath the waist snap button. You don’t want anything to hop in that area while you’re out in the elements, or when you are off the bike, you don’t want any accident less than decency when that crotch area got some free entry/exit. :D. Overall, very awesome design especially the fact that it doesn’t have elastic waist band as those will lost elasticity over time. 28 is actually 30, tighten/loosen the strap as you go. (or grow). Inner liner is a bit tight but these material also tend to stretched out over time and lost the elasticity, so tighter now but it will still be fine later, only wear them when riding. However for those who do feel too tight that cuts circulation, yeah, no comment there. I wish the ... MoreAlmost perfect if the crotch area get a zipper or velcro underneath the waist snap button.

It’s probably would fit a credit card size wallet, fine, time has changed. lol. Overall, a legit MTB shorts. Highly recommend them.

I got these shorts in size 22 for my tall, but slender 8yo daughter who is about 55” tall and weighs 59 lbs. The shorts fit great but don’t have much room to grow. Unfortunately, the included padded liner is too tight according to my daughter (she’s used to wearing another padded liner from another brand), so she gave the included liner to her little brother who is almost 5 years old and of average build for his age. They fit him fine with room to grow for a couple years. It worked out for us because I couldn’t find liners small enough in the waist for my son, but I thought it’s worth mentioning that the liner doesn’t seem TTS compared to the shorts. If your child doesn’t mind a liner that fits tight right against the skin like a pair of normal underwear, these ... MoreI got these shorts in size 22 for my tall, but slender 8yo daughter who is about 55” tall and weighs 59 lbs.

If your child doesn’t mind a liner that fits tight right against the skin like a pair of normal underwear, these could be fine. My child might be more sensitive to tight undergarments. Anyway, I find these shorts to be a great buy. It’s so hard to find girl-friendly MTB shorts that aren’t super long and baggy, and even harder to find them in fun colors. We’ll buy more pairs and will probably continue to pass the liners down to little bro and purchase separate liners for my daughter. Thanks, FOX, for making girl-friendly MTB clothes & please bring back the purple shorts! We need those too!

These include a padded short liner. The chamois is thin, but does seem to improve comfort for my son. The fabric is stretchy and not too warm. The only downside is the absence of a zipper pocket.
