Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

I am very happy with these shorts. They are much better than the bike shorts of years past. They fit very comfortably and have worn well during several different types of active exercising. I love that they come to my knees (I am 5'8"). My only concern is this -- I am overweight in my thighs and fear that the material may wear out too soon due to constant friction. However, this will not stop me from buying more. I am very pleased, overall, with this product.

Love these!

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

I was skeptical when I ordered stuff from Danskin (I ordered clothes from other companys in my size and they didn't fit!!)- but I was amazed at how well EVERYTHING I ordered fit PERFECTLY! Buy it! You won't be disappointed! This is where I will be buying all my fitness wear from now on! Also, the Made in America is a huge plus!

I use bike shorts as undergarment for cold weather or under short (below the knee)skirts and dresses; as pants with big shirts and exercise. Very versatile garment.

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

I am a 250+ triathlete and am training for a marathon right now. I wear through shorts like you would not believe, primarily due to over-use and a lot of friction. These shorts hang tough every week, through some pretty brutal conditions. But above and beyond all that, they are the perfect length for my extra long legs (most of which is from my hip to my knee!). I never thought I'd find shorts long enough to keep me from yanking at them through a 6+ hour workout...these give me the confidence to go out in the world and get sweaty and know that I look good and will come back in one chafe-free piece.

The only con being the gusseted crotch, which does chafe sometimes if I'm not careful putting them on...I'm used to seam-free inner legs and crotch in my other fitness wear. But that's a minor minor complaint.

Excellent!

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

These are great, but I would like to see a 9 inch or 10 inch length option. I have short legs and these almost look like capris on me. Very comfortable though and great!!

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

These shorts are pretty good. They don't ride up when I run and are comfortable for step aerobics, etc. My only criticism would be they are just a bit too long. I would like them to be mid-thigh, not all the way to the knee.

I wouldn't buy this again

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

I'm a very plus size woman, who is also pregnant and I bought these to use for multi-purposes. I needed something to wear with my bathing suit, because plus size maternity bathing suits just don't exsist. They were satisfactory for that use, though the color did fade from the chlorine to a dark brown hue. Not that big of a deal. Now I wear them around the house, under my regular pants, everywhere possible. They pull up high enough to go over my pregnant belly, and are still long enough that I don't have to keep pulling them down every other step I take. The cotton/lycra mix is just perect enough to where your not wearing "spandex" and not completley cotton either. Extremely comfortable. I came back today to buy another pair.

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

These are the best shorts I have found for long, fast walks. They prevent the chafing that usually occurs when I wear other shorts. They wear better than cheaper alternatives. My only wish is that they came in more colors.

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

I have several pairs of these shorts, which I use for walking, since I don't bike. My only dislike is their length. At 11", on a short person, the shorts come down to my knees. I wish they were 9" in length in the 1X size.

Comments about Danskin Plus Cotton/Lycra® 11" Bike Short:

I use the product to exercise. I hate shorts that ride up the thigh and you have to keep pulling them down. Don't have to worry about that and they don't chaff the inside of my thighs. Hides all the dimples well too...

I have NEVER been able to find a more satisfactory "bike short"...the 11" inseam is the longest ever and perfect! Most on the market are far too short.

For me the only drawback is the colors; I prefer brilliant and exciting hues instead of the old boring standbys of blue, gray, black! The 11" length is wonderful for those of us with 'cottage cheese' legs.
