I bought these leggings to wear on a walking holiday in Spain. It was really hot and hilly coastline walks. The leggings were so comfortable and the pockets were really helpful too.

Sizing has got smaller
I have a lovely pair of XXL 9inch cycling shorts power from last year which fit perfectly. I ordered another pair in navy. They are at least two sizes smaller - I couldn’t get them on and the material didn’t give at all. Very disappointing that the material and sizing has changed

Very happy, using for running
I am using these shorts for running, very comfortable and stay up too. These have been great to use in the hot weather, I also like the length of these shorts also.

Great shorts
I bought these leggings for running and they are great, only thing that would make them better would be to have pockets on both sides not just one. There is a back pocket for keys as well which is handy.

Good quality weights more…
Love this it’s quite weighty even with nothing in it. But it’s beautiful and looks amazing and comfortable to wear

Perfect for running
I bought these for running and they exceeded my expectations. No chafing, they stay in place, and they’re very comfortable even during longer workouts. The material is lightweight and breathable, and the pockets are really practical. Highly recommend!

Power 9" cycle shorts black camo print Size 'S'
I bought these cycling shorts for marathon training. Note: no extra 'seat' padding inside, so I wouldn't personally wear them out on a long bike ride. However, for running they are perfect as a
good length, (approx 3 inches above knee). Comfortable and don't ride up. I purchased 'Small' size and fit is ideal. I usually opt for XS, but wanted a slightly more relaxed fit around waist for long runs!. Great side pocket for mobile phone, or for storing gels. Zipped compartment at the rear too.
I like the subtle detail of the camouflage style/ pattern.

Great shorts for curvier figures
Very comfortable shorts for the curvier figure - they are snug but stay in place well and don't ruck up at the legs or ping down from the top.

Excellent for running
I bought these as running leggings as found the shorter styles on longer runs were chaffing. These are perfect length and do not ride up tested on 10km run so far! Love that they have a zip for my key and side pocket too. Love the black camo print and I bought two pairs very chuffed!
