These, for me, are just about right (and feature internal adjustment as well as external belt loops for waist adjustment). Of course, everyone's body is different, so if you can I'd recommend going to a pearl Izumi dealer and trying a pair on to see if they conform to your body type.

I like them, but the problem is that even a 32 is too loose in the waist for me (even full adjusted in). If I go with a smaller size, my legs are too big--not because I'm fat, but because I've put more than a few hours in the squat rack. :) How do these shorts deliver in the leg department (especially, if you know, compared to the Sergeant short)?

I have a friend of a friend who works for PI so I was able to get a couple pairs of shorts for 60% off.. I probably would not have ever bought them without that discount....But after wearing them and feeling the quality and comfort.. I will never go cheap again...These things will last you years and more than pay for themselves over the lifespan.. also the Chamois is not attached so you can buy a a few of those and keep wearing the one pair of shorts or use your already owned chamois.. but the PI Chamois is like heaven... like sitting on a cloud without the bulk. Important to note that I have the "Canyon" shorts ($70 bucks). Same shorts as mtbgreg1's review but without all the pockets.. it has one big hidden zippered pocket behind the right knee that I can keep my phone in..Canyons are Moose Knuckle free as well I have to add that the Peal Izumi shorts are amazing..and stretchy and glorious… I have a friend of a friend who works for PI so I was able to get a couple pairs of shorts for 60% off..

When I was starting out I basically wore the same pair of shorts for about 2 years (also a pair of Pearl Izumis). You can get cheaper off-brands such as REI, and while sometimes those are a decent deal, sometimes you really get what you pay for--especially when it comes to Pearl Izumi. @Bubblehead10MM, I guess just buy shorts that will last for a long while, and just wash your one pair and use the same pair over and over and over again!

Nice shorts, but I still get the slack yanked out when I see a Bengamin evaporating for a shorts. What's a guy to do? Now that we’ve been over that, great review.
