Inseam Note - Shorter Leg Length than other brands: Have you seen the length of the shorts that riders have been wearing in Europe lately, especially in the Grand Tours? As opposed to most brands here in the states, which come just above the knees, our shorts are comfortably shorter. Our inseam is similar to those currently used by the pros in the Grand Tours. They have no gripper elastic, yet stay in place and do not bind or squeeze the legs, which is crucial once you get to the run segment of a triathlon.

Absolutely great bike shorts! Extremely comfortable and very well made. Whenever I ride with them, others that have had the same shorts for much longer comment (when they're passing me) how much they like the shorts. An excellent product, just like all the others I've purchased from De Soto Sports.
This is the second pair of 400 mile cycling shorts I bought. I still use the first pair but they are so comfortable I prefer to use them on all my rides. My main event is full distance ironman, two of which I have done comfortably in these shorts (change out after the bike though).
Overall comfort is good. Length is good, not to short. Padding is average but not great. I may need a bike fit adjustment so my saddle issues are probably a result of that and not the shorts. I would recommend.
For years, I have been wearing a cheap pair of cycling shorts with fat padding on the indoor trainer. After all, what does style matter in the pain cave. I assumed my discomfort was just part of sitting on a bike with no lateral movement for long periods. One day, it dawned on me that I spend so much time there, I may as well turn to the brand I trust for comfort and performance, as well as style, and it has been a game changer. Why didn’t I make this move sooner?
These are the BEST shorts I've ever worn. I first started wearing them about 15 years ago. I've even sent some back for some repairs! These got me through HUNDREDS of miles and multiple Ironman races. My shorts and bike fit are key to success in riding comfortably.
I have ridden in 400-Mile Cycling Shorts for many years. They are comfortable on long rides, durable and user-friendly with three pockets. These shorts have enabled my to ride over 10,000 miles per year for the past seven years. Thank you, De Soto!
Love the way these shorts feel. They are very comfortable, and the pockets come in handy, especially when running off the bike. Recently, I wore these during a 5+ hour ride on an indoor trainer. While nothing is going to feel "great" for such a ride, these shorts made it much more tolerable than other brands I've used in the past, including Ralph and Assos. Yes, they are pricey, but worth it for the longer days in the saddle. I find that I can also run in these without any problems.
I had 2 of these shorts for many years and while planning a 750 mile bike trip with some friends this summer knew I needed a new pair. They arrived quickly so I could get a few rides in them before the trip. I saved them for the days over 80 miles, and they were as great as I remembered. Thank you De Soto for continuing to make this great product !
Incredibly comfortable with great support and padding. Used for 4-5 hour rides and they held up really well with protection integrity. Was between sizes (M & S) and went with small. The first couple of times worn were the tightest they would be… and after a couple of uses they ended up being perfectly snug. Ordered 3 pair and rotate them. Very happy!
These are the best, most comfortable bike shorts I’ve ever owned!! The only issue I’ve had is, when they get wet - like on a really hot day or in the rain, they tend to chafe in the front on the private parts. When wet, the fabric gets a bit rough and can cause some serious chafing on the privates. The padding is better than any shorts I’ve ever owned and extremely durable. No chafing on the bum, ever. I’ve even run up to 10k o after a long ride with no issues.
