The sizes are tiny!! I'm always a size M. I would need at least a size L in these. They are absolutely tiny. If they fitted they might be great.

I'm 5'7" and usually wears a S for other brands (e.g. Assos), but a medium is a better fit for me for this Attack cut. It feels comfortable. The padding is just right, comparing to a more premium brand, the padding is less breathable. The thigh length of this shorts is on the long side, it helps to apply compression to the thigh muscles and supposedly eases fatigue. The silicon like material at the end of the trunk prevents the fabric from sliding up. Overall, the shorts is quite comfortable.

182 cm tall, 91 cm waist, 100 cm hip, 56 cm thigh - Attack Air Shorts in size L fit perfectly. The thighs are wrapped quite tightly, giving the impression of muscle compression. Multi-density Levitateâ„¢ Plus Chamois is the best insert I have ever used. It is approximately 1 cm thick. After 4 hours in the mountains on an mtb bike, there were no slightest abrasions, a feeling of complete comfort and no negative signals from my ass, which was standard with other shorts I have used so far. There is no elastic band at the front of the waistband, which ensures full comfort for the belly. I like them very much, I will probably buy a second pair as a spare.

At least so far.Size: runs smaller (I usually wear S from PI, but this time I had to replace with M)Comfort: Perfect. Pad is very comfortable and I can go for 5-6 hr ride without any chamois creme.Breathability: Very good, at least the best of all shorts and bibs I haveDurability: I have them for about a month now, so it is to early to say somethig about durability.
High-quality shorts, beats my previous Lidl / Crivet shorts hands down. Only shortcoming was that size L was a bit tight vs what I'm used to..
The Pad is very comfortable and stays dry even riding at 30 degrees C (86 F). Maybe next time i'll try one size larger, actually i took L (190 cm / 80 kg)
Traditional Pearl Izumi fit and design. Materials could be better.
Poor quality control. I have a 31-32 inch waist and have been wearing medium Pearl Izumi bike shorts for the last 20 years. According to the size chart the medium should easily fit a 31.5-34.5 inch waist!!! I barely got the bottom of the leggings over my knees! These shorts run extremely, extremely small or I accidently ordered a child's medium! Do not recommend. And the kicker is that there is now a $6 return fee.
