3 months, 400 miles, the pad has now torn in 3 places. Puts pressure in areas where I do not need pressure... Initially i thought it was a bruise or saddle sore... thankfully, it was not. Unthankfully, i am out $70. I contacted the company to see if they would do anything to make things better.

Anyone have any good reviews on shorts? I have a pair of pearlI's that seem to fit well. Even that they might run a tiny bit bigger in a given size, which seems good for us clydes. Let me know what you think

Update. They have contacted me back. They have a 2 year warranty on all shorts, and if i can find some proof of purchase (likely credit card receipt), they will send me new shorts NQA. (guess its a good lesson to keep my receipts lol)

Years ago I had a pair of bellweather shorts. I don't know how many miles I had on them, but I kept them for years back before I did longer rides. I finally got rid of them when they were more revealing than I (and I would guess others) thought was acceptable.
