Comfy shorts for shorter and longer rides
These shorts quickly became my favorite pair - I enjoy extra pockets, so I don't have to think where to put my gloves/trash/extra bars/etc. when I need extra space for a moment. Waist is secure and isn't digging anywhere, no need to undress on tinkle stops. Chamois is veeery comfortable for 3 to 4 hours of riding and fine up to 6 hours of riding. Mildly crashed in them once offroad, shorts survived with no traces which I can't say about rest of my body. Definitely would recommend.

best fit
Probably the best shorts ever. I have a very small waist and big legs and those fit perfectly. Everywhere. They also don't stretch over time. 10/10

Liked them enough to purchased. 2nd pair
Good pad not too thick, nice length for a long day. Love the pockets - a phone ans snacks don’t pull the shorts down. I now have 2 pairs

Great cycling shorts
Love the shorts, quality and fit is awesome! High waisted, but a little too high, they keep rolling down on my tummy.

Fantastic spandex bike shorts
Will not disappoint. No complaints even after riding 127 miles in 100 degree temps, that's a statement.

Actually fit true to size! Amazing!
These are the best shorts I have ever worn. They fit true to the size guide. The pockets are deep enough for a smart phone not to come out. Truly excellent quality. Also amazing customer service. I had to return the shorts for a size.smaller. I just assumed like every other pair of shorts I have bought from others they would be too small so I ordered a size up. I needed a smaller size. They were shipped out fast and the return with dlh was super easy.

Quality shorts yet again another favourite pair
Bought these as my third pair of Rapha Shorts. Bit different with the pocket which I have had my iPhone 12 in and at first was very cautious expecting it to fall out. Shouldn’t have worried. No issues at all. Super comfy pad for even a long ride of 70miles on a hot day. Big fan and lovely to have a non black pair of cycling shorts.

My new go to shorts, love the Cargo Pockets !!
These shorts fit great and with having the cargo pocket they are now my go to shorts when riding. I’ve already picked up another pair so I have both black and blue.
I hate having to look for my phone in my top tube pack, these shorts make having my phone or snacks easily accessible when riding. I can grab my phone capture a photo and put it right back without skipping a beat. I love to capture photos as I ride with my husband and pups.

Cargo CANgo!
These shorts are just what I’ve been looking for, with a high back and super handy cargo pockets. I like to wear casual tops (without pockets) so these are very useful. The shorts feel durable and I’m currently wearing them over paddles tights for some extra warmth in early Spring. It means when I get to where I’m going, either commuting or touring, I slip them off by am in everyday mode. Love them!

Un-beatable comfort
I have been looking for a pair of cycling shorts which are not only super comfy but functional too. They are the perfect soft fit around the waist, and never fall down, they have a pocket for your phone so you dont have to wear a cycling top! AND Most importantly, they have the right amount of padding that leave you feeling fine! WIll buy another pair and wholeheartedly recommend. Worth every penny!

Disappointed
Initially I thought these shorts were really comfortable until I wore them in the rain and ended up with linear scars secondary to chaffing where the most lateral and posterior seam is.I was cycling from Dover to Durness at the time and decided never to wear them in potential wet weather again. I have never had an issue like this with Rapha sorts previously. I do like the pockets however.

Awesome high rise and great pockets
I really love the high rise of these bibs - I feel like I don't need straps at all. My only concern is the length of the legs - I have bulky thighs, particularly at the knees and these bibs don't make them look well. If it weren't for them, I would take size S for the chamois, but I went for M. The breathability could have been better too. Overall however, I can recommend them.

Amazingly good fit and convenient pockets.
I bought my first cargo shorts last year and they are so convenient that I ordered another pair. Of course visiting bathrooms on the ride is SO MUCH more convenient. This is now my cycling uniform. Shorts are well fitted and do not twist or extend and sit where you want them to be. Also I love the “smartphone” leg pockets - they became a must for me.

No regrets
Let me begin by saying that I basically never pay full price for things. I did for these and I have absolutely no regrets. I am between a small and medium and went with the small. They fit well. The pads are great quality and I am so glad to have a drop in hip pocket especially when I am doing intervals and need easy access to my phone.

Best Biking Shorts Ever
These are the most comfortable biking shorts I’ve ever worn. In my mind, they are worth the price you pay. The padding is so comfortable that I can ride loner. And I love the pockets. I can wear a tshirt or any other top with them. I wanted black, but my size was not available…but still glad I got the navy pair.

Best fitted shorts + POCKETS. I'm in love
Was advised repeatedly to not get shorts as they would pull down and not be comfortable. These shorts proved that wrong. Absolutely love these shorts, super comfortable, high fit on the waist so there's no show if your jersey rides up. Best feature... side pockets!!! Am definitely going to buy another pair.

Practical Cargo shorts!
These are comfy shorts, love the pockets and color. The waist band comes up nice and high to “hold the things in”. I’m able to bike with phone and gels in the pockets! My only complaint is the pad fits slightly different than my other Rapha shorts, the pad feels wider so just a little uncomfortable for me.

Perfect having pockets for on and off road
Love the side pockets in these, perfect when riding off road when you don’t have jersey pockets. Great to have no bibs for easy pee stops and a gentle gripper waist band to hold them in place.
Only downside is the chamois isn’t as good as the souplesse bib shorts for ultra endurance (in my opinion).

WAIST IS TOO LONG / TALL
These shorts are amazing but the waist is TOO LONG. I am not that tall and my pelvis hips are not that tall either. My other core shorts don't fit like this. That aspect of the short SUCKS! I do like the pad and the cargo pockets. I would NOT purchase this again. POOR WOMEN's DESIGN

Favorite shorts by far
When these shorts were introduced I thought the pockets would just make my thighs look bigger. Now I don't know how I lived without them. The pockets are stretchy enough to securely hold my phone, the length is great, and the chamois is comfortable in true Rapha form. Now I own 3 pairs!

The shorts I reach for most
These are the shorts I hope are clean when I'm ready to ride. They're the most comfortable shorts I've owned. I'm 5'7" and 137 lbs and mediums are perfect. The cargo pockets are a no-brainer and little details like the side loops for drying on a hanger are spot on. Will buy more.

Navy cargo core - shorts
Great fit, very comfy. The high waist sits well throughout ride. Glad to have a navy pair. Pockets are handy for CX rides. Perfect leg length and the grip is one of the best no movement. If a non bib wearer can recommend these as they sit just as well. Chamois is very good.

The pockets is the cherry on top
Love the Core Cargo Shorts, they fit tight but comfortable and do not move at all. I've worn them for both long rides and training rides and they are just perfect. The pockets are a nice addition to carry extra gels, or put your cellphone and keys and go for a casual ride

Not mine but great shorts
Full disclosure: I bought these for my wife so I cannot comment on comfort. However, the cargo pockets mean I no longer have to carry her phone when she's not wearing a jersey with pockets, and the lack of bib straps have shaved minutes off our "bushy bushy" stops.

Pockets + Potty-ability
Love! I initially purchased for two reasons; pockets and pee-ability.
Bonuses… V comfortable and digging the high waste (I feel so slim… muffin top say what). So far so good only 140 miles of use but already worth it! seriously it’s so much easier to pee…!
