How to Find Your Measurements

Review number 2 of these shorts. I'm 180lbs, 6'0" and typically fit a "true" 32/33. I ordered the 34, thought they were too loose so exchanged them for a 32-mistake. The 32 was decidedly less spacious in the hips and crotch so I opted for the 34, but ended up sewing the internal belt a little tighter so I could get the right fit with the ratchet. I like them a lot but preferred the version with the zippered fly. Anyhow, these are still my favourite shorts by far of all the ones I've tried (I've tried a lot). Phone pocket is perfectly placed, adequate venting, good fabric, and subtle branding make these about as close to a perfect riding short as I've found. Well done Chromag!l Oh, and customer service is outstanding!

Like everything Chromag makes, these shorts are so nice. They seem really well made and the material is great for pedaling. They run big though. I am a 33 waist in all my pants and I bought the 34 shorts because it seems people find Chromag shorts fit small. I also though with their adjustmentable waistband, 33-34" would be right in the middle. I was wrong! I have them cinched up as tight as possible and they are still a bit loose. I bought them on sale though so I'm stuck with them.

Seem nice, but they're too small and can't return sale items. I'll try to be less fat next season.

Bought these after my partner got some. Only 3 sizes in female, but her size M fit me way better than the size 32 I got for myself (and I have been a true 32 for 30 years). They are baggy and - particularly - saggy.... hello plumber's crack.

great shorts but the sizing is terrible. bought on sale so cant return….

The shorts are much brighter than the picture shows. It’s not a bad thing necessarily but they do stand out from the typical black or grey that everyone wears. I was going to return them for being too small but they do fit if a little tight. I’m 6’ 210 or so and got the 34s. They seemed to stretch a bit after I initially used them. The fly area is interesting. They have no zipper or anything so the fabric tents out in that area. The side pocket will fit a normal size phone. I have a 15 plus so I have to use the hip pocket but once I have the phone in there I don’t notice it.

Ordered these shorts and was shipped the V4 to my disappointment. However the good folks at Chromag responded to my disappointment and hooked me up with the V3 which has a superior belt system (NOT velcro) and I am so happy with them. Tried a lot of other brands but nothing fits me like these and has such a well placed phone pocket and exact right pockets and fit so as not to hang up on your seat. Had a crash with them and the fabric took a bit of a beating but didn't tear. I'd happily buy several more pairs but they don't make these anymore. So I guess I'll just wear these til they're rags cuz they're that good!

This is my second pair of these and while I could make either a 32 or 34 work with the V2's I am now definitely a 32.

I'm 6'1" and 175bs and often wear a 34 but these were just a bit roomy in the waist so I went with a 32. They are a little snug in the crotch but I like that they dont hang up on my seat. I also have the Feint short and I have to say, I prefer the ratchet adjustment over the Velcro system that this one uses but I also have a straight waist (no hips) so I really like to cinch my shorts up.
