Stitching coming apart after one use
Arrived in the Philippines after less than a week. No problem with comfort, appearance and materials. However, after one use and a wash on delicate setting, a stitch has already come apart.

On the small side, and stiff chamois
I find the chamois a little stiff, to the point it becomes uncomfortable. Also, the sizing seems to be on the small side compared to most brands, and the waistband elastic is very stiff.

Men’s Core Shorts
Great shorts with a perfect fit which eliminated chaffing around the side groin area. Very comfortable even over 150 miles. Personally prefer non bib shorts for ease of comfort breaks

Strong recommendation, buying another pair
I bought these after starting to use an indoor bike and getting sore. I absolutely love these shorts and will be buying a second pair. They feel very high quality and comfortable.

Good shorts. Not good value.
Good shorts. Not too uncomfortable at the front. Breathe well. I have a pair from another brand that are about 30% cheaper and just as good so i can't say these are good value.

Great for indoors and hot days
I bought these with indoor training in mind, and they work great for that. They are so comfortable I have also used them for hot days and some mtb liner shorts. Great all round.

Best shorts ever.
I have been an avid cyclist for over 30 years and have puchased various brands of shorts. The Rapha Core Shorts haveto be the best short I have ever owned. Highly recommend.

Nice quality, but high cut on the waist, feels like women's cut, the chamois seems to big and gets uncomfortable on +30k drives (indoor training). Would not buy another pair

Well worth the money
Very comfortable shorts. They're the first quality shorts that I've gotten and there is a very clear difference from the cheaper ones I have been using over the last year!

My second pair
Great shorts, well weighted padding, I use instead of bib shorts because I'm a renegade, on the road and on the gravel. Best I've found. I'm 6'4" and the large fits well.

Great for 2 - 3 hour rides
Thick, dense padding. For rides under 2 hours, I don't even notice the bike seat. After 2 hours, you will start to feel the seat, but it doesn't get too uncomfortable.

Preliminary forst impression is stiff and snug
Preliminary impression after one ride in the new Rapha Core Shorts are stiff and snug. Need more rides to discover that others describe as the best riding shorts.

Top quality shorts
Good quality stuff with padding which is a notch above any shorts which I have used . The grips are equally good and hold the shorts in place . Overall top quality

Very pleased!
Very pleased ... only doing rides of 10-15 miles currently but have found them to be a good fit and very comfortable. Would certainly consider buying another pair.

Quality Shorts
Decent shorts, comfortable chamois. Have found not as great as core bibs as bibs hold chamois in position a bit better. Usual Rapha quality, would recommend.

Very comfy
Glad I read the other reviews and ordered Large instead of my usual. The result is a very comfortable pair of shorts worn on road rides and turbo sessions.

Everything you need
Better than expected.
The Design is very classic.
The padding seems premium.
I’m 5’ 9”, 78kg and medium fits me well. The pad is positioned perfectly.

Perfect no nonsense shorts.
Comfortable all-day chamois. The fit is snug and doesn't ride up. I wore these for a 118 mile ride and had zero issues. Will be buying more pairs.

Great for my indoor training
Love having these core shorts in the collection. On days where it’s raining or blazing hot I throw these on and get on the trainer. Work perfect.

My go to padded tights.
Second pair of these. Very comfy and the high waist helps as I wear shorts on top of them. The pad is very comfy too, great for all day cycling.

Best cycling shorts
The shorts are amazingly comfortable. The length could be shorter but aside from that the fit is on point. I wear size 30 and they fit great

The best cycling short
Rapha shorts are the best, way better than the shorts from Switzerland. Way better than PZ. Actually shocking how good they are.

Great bike shorts
These were a gift for my son. He is an avid cyclist and requested these for his birthday. He loves them. They fit well.
