Product Reviews

Excellent  ThomasBabicci, BIRMINGHAM GARDENS
Great value for money, less than 1/2 price of cheapest pair in local bike shop.

I usually wear mediums, so bought a medium. Great fit (quite tight, but that's what you want!) gets the blood flowing to your feet!

Wash seperately the first few times, dye runs pretty bad. Will run into your jocks the first wear, but after a few goes is fine.

09 cycle Shorts  ShaneHarvey, Napier
The waistband may cut a little low and so tends to roll down. I was on the line between M and L - could have gotten away with an Large, must loose a bit of weight for these mediums to fit better, still can't complain for the Special price.

Great shorts  ScottMcSkimming, Whangarei CBD
These bike pants are wonderful. I went up a size and they fit my thighs perfectly but come up a little high in the back than I'd prefer, but are still very comfortable. So I'd definitly recommend buying a size larger than you usually are. As for the dye leaking, we washed ours first and had no dye issues at all.

Torpedo7 Cycle Shorts  JohnHaliday, Claudelands
These are very good value and a comfortable fit. I went for my ususl size as it was right in the middle of the sizing guide provided but would recommend to go one size up if you are at the upper end of the sizing guide. I bought 2 pair and one had a slight dye run at the first wash - nothing major but it would be a good idea to pre wash them before wearing.

Pretty good  GrahamBarlow, Gordonton
Didn't pay much for them so good value really. I needed a size bigger than normal which I ordered after reading previous reviews and they fit nicely. Comfy and styly but as per previous reviews, initially do leave black marks on your legs until washed a few times. My seat has got the residue colour on it but doesn't slow my performance too much. ;)

Ok  DavidAdair, Christchurch CBD
Colour did run onto my skin while riding. I hope this stops soon. The shorts aren't as comfortable as the NZO shorts I bought earlier in the year.

Torpedo 7 cycle shorts  ChrisRoden, Cashmere -ChCh
Shorts OK until I washed them - they must have shrunk at least a size - I guess you get what you pay for.

price great. product not.  rachelclark, Remuera
I have washed these shorts twice already. Have a white brand new seat. Had long ride in them. My seat now has the dye from these shorts all over it. not happy. Bad purchase.

Sizing  SteveCoatham, Torbay
Agree with all comments relating to size. I am an XL so went XXL which is right fit.

Poor, the colour runs would not recommend - ruined a good base layer  lloydbower, cockle bay
I bought the medium and the size is fine and fit ok, but I would not recommend them. The colour ran wearing them the first time out onto a light coloured base layer, totally ruining it.
Even after a wash (thankfully a separate wash) they have continued to run on their next outing.

I have never had a problem with the colour running on any lycra cycle shorts I have bought before. I certainly would NOT buy these again.
Also no mention that they are tumble dry-able.

Torpedo 7 cycle shorts  dianewilliams, Gisborne
Very prompt delivery and good value for money. Large size plenty of room and leg length, I am 178.5cm tall. Very comfortable even on 50km bumpy mountain bike ride.

TORPEDO7 Cycle Shorts '09  HEATHTAPPER, Matamata
Good shorts. Plenty of padding. People were right to go suggest going a size bigger.

Don't necessarily go larger..  DominicMehling, PAKURANGA
I went larger and it ended up being too big..

Good quality though as usual.
