I am new to triking but these shorts are great.

Extremely happy with this product after using for several long rides in excess of 6 hours. I was worried that they may be too hot since I am using them in conjunction with Assos racing shorts but this is not the case, the cooling effect with the zips undone is more than adequate due to the mesh design. When zipped up they are a little too tight for me but that is down to my anatomy rather than the cut of the shorts. I have large thighs and small waist so this was always going to be a compromise. Jeff suggested I go with the mediums and this is correct since the rest of the shorts fit perfectly and the Large would have been too large. My only negative is that I feel the velcro tab is a little too aggressive since it is difficult to release on the move with one hand and I am worried that it will eventually come unstitched or damage tear the base material. Overall a great product and I would thoroughly recommend them to anybody. Additionally great customer service from Jeff. Ian

I do extensive bicycle touring and I wear my 11 pines every day. The side zipper vented pleat is awesome. Having the zippered pockets in the front is well needed as I cannot lose anything and have to backtrack. Having the Velcro strap on the bottom of the pant, to tighten-to regulate airflow is also a great feature. the porous breathable material in the back below the waist line is perfect. I must not forget having the elastic waist band with drawstring is well needed.  From when I start a bicycle tour, within 5 to 6 weeks I lose at least 10 pounds. That reflects a lot in the waist measurements. That’s where that drawstring comes in so handy. A great pair of shorts that are well engineered. There’s just one good feature after another…Very quick drying material! I highly recommend these pants.

First off, Jeff of Elevenpine has been spot on with his customer service and help. He's been very responsive every step of the way to ensure I received my pair of Uprising shorts in time for a big ride I have coming up, and sure enough he made it happen. You can tell he takes pride in his product and company, and I really appreciate that. Now to the product itself: These shorts have changed the game for me. I've been searching for the perfect cycling shorts for me, and I've finally found them. I've never had the desire to rock the lycra. It certainly has its benefits with aerodynamics and all, but I've just never been one to put on the skinsuit. The Uprising shorts are a true alternative to the traditional lycra as they are very adjustable, but you can still get the padded comfort benefit if you choose to go with the liner option. You can tighten the velcro straps at the bottom of the shorts legs to make it more form fitting and after the ride undo the velcro, unzip the side zippers and enjoy the post ride beers in comfort. Innovative product, awesome customer service.

The Uprising shorts are totally amazing. Great fabric and great fit. I was concerned as my measurements are a little larger than XL on the sizing chart, but the XL fits perfectly. Gonna order myself another pair! ... and Jeff (Customer Support) is super!
