I purchased a pair and liked them so much I bought 3 more for myself and then 1 each for my adult son and daughter. I am moving from a road bike to a recumbent due to neck and shoulder issues and I wanted to wear something more comfortable than my Lycra bibs. No longer needing padded shorts a search led me to 11Pine. I did not want flapping gym shorts and with zipper and Velcro tabs have an aero effect like my bibs. My son is an avid mtn biker for many years with a trip to the Andes, numerous rides on the Colorado front range and many trips to Moab. He said, “nice stretch and very breathable especially when you unzip the legs. Very well thought out design clearly by people who bike.” My daughter review was now you know what to get me at Christmas. There were a couple issues that came up with my first order of which one clearly rests with the postal service. Jeff at 11Pine was on top of each one and communicated with me regularly until everything was resolved. I was very impressed by this. In conclusion, the Uprising short is an excellent product that myself, son and daughter are very well pleased with and with the couple of issues I experienced on the initial order the customer service was well beyond what I normally experience in the marketplace. So I finish by saying you can find shorts of lesser quality but I doubt you can find any of better quality and certainly none backed with the customer service that 11Pine backs their product with.

I ride a road bike, fat bike, recumbent trike and tandem trike. With the addition of the padded liner, these shorts are perfect for the roadie and fat bike. Removing the liner, they make for perfect recumbent shorts. They stay in place just fine, and they don't have the skin tight feel of typical bike shorts. Best of all, they don't stand out wearing them out on the town with a short sleeve shirt. They just look like normal shorts. This is wonderful when one is trying to carry as little as possible on a long distance ride.

My girlfriend liked the shorts so much she ordered me a second pair. For postal reasons unknown, it never got delivered. Jeff literally hand delivered it to our home in Pine Brook Hills in Boulder. How is that for customer service

I saw these last year and finally decided to pull the trigger on them. I love the fit and feel. They are stretchy so even when zipped up, they allow for flexibility. The pockets are in a good spot. I was able to ride with my phone in my pocket and it held it securely. I didn’t buy the padded shorts because I have several that came with a couple of other pair of bike shorts. Highly recommend these shorts!

These shorts are great. No issues. Fit, finish and sizing was perfect. Very comfortable shorts. I had the opportunity to speak with Jeff, and he was more than willing to help me out. Very fast response, great communication and follow up. Thank you.
