Deep pockets, fit as specified, stays put well
One must have deep pockets to buy Rapha. Here they are. They securely hold stuff, so it isn't just the zippered pocket which can be used on the trail. The small zippered pocket is a bit awkward to reach into, narrow entrance, but that's deep too. Fit is as specified, I don't feel the need to go one size up as few have suggested here. Shorts stay put on the trail even over bibs, the straps do their job just great. I am 174 tall, ordered size S, and fits great even with knee pads. Won't cover them, so no annoying grabbing, as with my Endura summer shorts.

Actual size is uncomfortably smaller
This measurement of the fit is different from what the size chart, hence in my case, my regular trail shorts fit is size L and for this I guess I need a XL instead…

For MTB-ing
Very good, comfortable and a very good fit. A bit of an annoying fastener though, but that's just me

Nice but odd sizing
Good quality, nice details, but they are inexplicably much tighter than the basic trail shorts.

Super but Short
Shorter in length which is not my style. Prefer the Trail Shorts.

Amazing Shorts!
Had a chance to wear this on a number of rides (MTG, Gravel and commuting). These are amazing shorts. The materials feel high quality, feel good and soft. Fit was perfect. Love the built in belt and no Velcro. They look like they will stand up to abuse (they wash well). I will certainly be getting more of these.

Comfy, great pockets good length
Very comfortable, pockets are well designed. Left hand side was particularly useful for my lift pass in the Alps. Length is great for me I like my shorts on the shorter side above the knee.

Amazing pants
Very stretchy and perfect cut, just the tightness needed to feel comfortable, but still aerodynamic, nice pockets, setting for the waist, sweet design!

Great shorts
Shorts fit so well and true to size. Great materials. I'd struggle to suggest improvements. Maybe a little pricey.

Good shorts, but could be a tad roomier.
Bought these shorts for a multi day cycle tour.
I wanted them to fit over a pair of padded shorts which they did well.
I'm a 31" waist and the medium was an ok fit, though a bit more space in the thigh would have been good (not all of us cyclists are built like Chris Froome)
They were comfy, quality was spot on, & I'll be wearing them more often now that summer has finally arrived.

Great All Purpose Cycling Shorts
Really like the semi-fitted style of these shorts. I use them primarily for commuting and the pockets work well in that regard. I'm a Medium in other Rapha kit and the medium size was definitely roomy enough for me even over normal bibs (not sure how other reviewers came to a different conclusion).

Stupidly small but comfy when sized right
Great shorts, Nicely lightweight and slightly more reasonable length. But the size is just too small. Im a waist size 36 in almost all brands and I need an XXL in these (and other Rapha shorts). its ridiculously small. Not all riders are stick figures Rapha!

Great shorts if your slender
I was reluctant at first as they are very form fitting for trail shorts, but after wearing them a few times they are one of my favorites for summer. Stretchy lightweight material, great pockets. Don’t have to worry about snagging your seat.

Great addition for the MTB side of things
Great pair MTB shorts I wear mine above my roadie shorts. Love the slotted waist fastener and also position of side pockets they face backwards and are just right for keeping phone etc out of the way when riding.

Top quality shorts
Great shorts, lightweight and good length. Absolutely perfect for the warm summer rides or rides where the standard shorts are just too baggy. They're not cheap but they're well worth the price in my opinion.

Roots
Stylish and good looking trousers. I wanted them for gravel rides, but in the end I gave them to a friend who likes to ride over stones and roots and sometimes through brush. They are perfect for this.

Best I've tried
The fit is excellent. I'm an XL and typically this size in other brands is far too baggy; my preference is a slim fit, even for my not slim body. These nailed that and have a perfect amount of stretch.

Nice looking with bad waist adjustment
Stylish and generally comfortable but the hard plastic/metal waist adjustment digs in when bent over so I had to remove them.
