Men's Multi-Sport Knickers | Urban Pedal Pushers | Loose Fit Activewear Cargo Capris

Very well built pants/knickers. The material is soft, they’re quite comfortable to wear with secure pockets. Actually, they’re just great, but with one caveat; believe the seller when it says “runs slightly large.” I’m six feet and relatively slim, but my true waist size is 34, which is borderline. I ordered a medium, and they’re big! Need to pull the attached belt tighter. It’s not worth deducting a star, because they’re so darn comfortable! Just be aware of this, and buy them!

I wasn't sure when I first felt it; the hand is kind of strange -- but then I put the capris on, and it was revelatory. Soft, stretchy, forgiving -- I really kind of love it. I have yet to assess its capabilities in chilly weather or on long rides, though, so I'll check back in about that.The waistband is not excessively aggressive, and the included belt is handy and adjustable.Construction appears to be excellent, consistent with AeroTech's generally stellar products.Length is pretty good -- I stand 172cm/5'8" with a 80cm/31.5" inseam and rather long thighs, and these hit right below the patella. I initially misjudged them; I seem to have been wearing them rucked up somehow so they were hitting higher than they really do. Oops!The rise is a bit long on my body (though not so long as to be uncomfortable -- the waistband sits just below my navel), but I'm quite short-coupled, so on most people around my height or a bit taller it would probably be about perfect. People much shorter than I am might find it rather too high.My husband stands 175cm/5'9", and his femurs are a full 5cm/2" shorter than mine, while his torso is quite a bit longer. These ratio of rise to length on these capris would be perfect for him.I'm not as fond of the toggle-adjusted elastic cuffs. I knew I probably wouldn't be terribly fond of them, though, so that's nothing to complain about, really. Moreover, any fastening system, whether velcro, toggle, or snap, would have potential drawbacks, but it's definitely good to have some way to crank these down and keep the wind out.Fit-wise, these capris are quite roomy by cycling standards. In the medium size, these capris are very, very roomy on me. If you're basing your sizing decisions on typical bike kit (iP, Castelli, ChampSys, etc.) sizes, you might want to order one size *smaller* than you normally would. These are definitely sized more like "civilian" clothes. My only concern here is that roomier fit can sometimes mean potential for chafing on longer rides (on the other hand, on longer rides, one would be likely to wear, at very least, some liner shorts with a good chamois under these).For comparison, my relevant measurements are as follows:weight - 68 kg/150 lbs/10 stone 10waist - 71cm/29"fullest part of hip - 91cm/36" (thanks to the weird, overdeveloped gluteus medius typical of male ballet dancers)fullest part of thigh - 54.6cm/21.6"I usually take a medium in "race-cut" bike kit; in "club-cut" kit, I'm probably a small now (though all of my club-cut kit is medium, anyway, for layering purposes). I am pretty sure I could have ordered these capris in a small and been very comfortable; in fact, I probably will eventually order a small and give the mediums to my hubby.These will be great for cold-weather layering and for tossing on top of my ballet class kit on the way to and from -- and I really couldn't possibly be happier with the sheer array of pockets. I except to get quite a lot of use out of these.I will, of course, update with further information about durability, wind- and cold-resistance, and on-bike fit on longer rides.

I own several pairs of AeroTech's "urban pedal pushers:", with the 17 inch seam. I am extremely happy with them. I ordered a replacement pair. I ended up with a pair of "Multi Sport Shorts", which are 5-6 inches shorter in the inseam, are sewn from a different material, and are sized very differently. (In these a 2XL is snug; in the others, 2XL are so roomy and loose that I need a belt to keep them from slipping to my ankles.) I was careful to ensure I was ordering the urban pedal pushers that I wanted. Somehow I ended up with the the Multi Sports. Double check before hitting the purchase button to make sure the right item has come up before confirming.

I usually buy a size up because I have a muscular build and my legs don’t usually fit where my waist does. I opted to order by waist size because of all the reviews saying that these are baggy .... they’re definitely not that baggy. If they didn’t stretch so well I’d say they were too small, but because of the stretch in the material they have become my favorite riding shorts. Incredibly comfortable and they ride high enough to stay out of the way when I need to move around.

July 2015 update: I have these in both black and grey and I still like them. I wear them almost every day to commute to work so about 20 miles 5 days a week at least. They are still holding up but have gotten a little thin feeling in certain areas. So I ordered a new pair and noticed the zipper and button is reversed? They say mens right on the tag so I'm not sure what happened here. Possibly a manufacturer defect? Kind of bizarre and awkward but I'll probably still wear them. If it happens again though I would return them.These were exactly what I was hoping for. Light-weight, comfortable, dries quickly, good fit, and useful pockets. Best of all is there are reasonably priced compared to other brandLs that can cost $100 or more. My waist size is 34-36 depending on the type and brand of pants. I ordered size large and they are just slightly loose on me but I think that works out well since I wanted them to be comfortable. I will definitely be ordered more of these.

Men's Urban Pedal Pusher Knickers w Cargo Pockets 3XL Black Some of us are biking despite being overweight (or worse), or to lose extra girth, not because we're already fit and full of boundless energy. You were the only bike pants I found that would surely be large enough. And the 6 pockets are great for the stuff I want to carry on longer rides.
