I bought these because I needed padded shorts, and they work great.

I recently purchased these shorts and are very pleased with them. The fit is great, padding is effective and they also look cool!

I bought this recently and really like it. It fits very well.

I ride approx 4000mi/yr @19mph pace These last about 1.5 years before the chamois starts to come apart and the legs start to continually pull down. Not great lifespan, but good enough for the money and ability for quantity (I hate laundry). I rotate thru 4pairs each week, which puts each pair at 75 rides before they need to be replaced.

These are the best biking shorts I own. Super comfy, breathable and light. The padding is good but not overly bulky, so far they wash and dry nicely
Rando
Reasonably priced and comfortable! I’ve owned 3 pairs of these shorts and they’ve each lasted an average of ~2500 miles on the road bike. Small pocket is perfect for goo.

No complaints no problems, nice wicking compression was also good three washes and it held up for a long ride elastic lower and upper rings were effective

Purchased for a friend who absolutely loved them. I used the sizing chart online and it was spot on!

I bought these shorts a few weeks ago. I believe Louis Garneau provides excellent biking shorts at a fair price. The Optimum 2 shorts are entry shorts which work well. It provides good cushioning without bulk. Very comfortable.

Very happy with the quality of this gear, they are exactly as advertised! They do run small, so if you are a L, get XL.

I bought these as a gift for my boyfriend. I have the women's and love them. I can spend hours on the bike with no hot spots or discomfort. I own 6 pairs I like them so much.

yeah I got a few from Amazon for 35 bucks and used them without any problems. But I wanted to try these because the other ones had weird colors and I couldn't just wear them alone. This was definitely worth the purchase and im very happy with the shorts. I use leg warmers and they go underneath them perfectly so its a great snug fit.
I wore these shorts on various rides (2@12, 1@30, 1@44 miles) and wish I had gotten them sooner. The cushioning and absence of friction (compared to just regular gym shorts) makes these a must have for anything longer than a 5-10 mile cruise around home.
