**Fitting Note: Our PRO and ELITE shorts are designed to fit you specifically while in a cycling position, and subsequently, will feel loose in the rear end and low in front when standing upright and trying them on for fit. Please hop on your bike, bend forward to the handlebars, and then check their fit in your riding position.
*All measurements taken close to the body, and not over loose clothes*
To Measure your Hips With feet together, measure around the fullest part. To Measure your Waist Measure around waist at the height you normally wear your pants. Alternatively, use your dress pants size. To Measure your Inseam Measure pants that fit well from the crotch seam to bottom of pants. Alternatively, use your dress pants size.

ENHANCED 8-PANEL design for Bouré shorts. A traditional 8-panel design that provides maximum support throughout the entire short and a superior fit. Results in a seamless inner thigh to eliminate chafing in this sensitive area.
ARTICULATED HIP on shorts to mirror the biomechanical range of motion while in your cycling position so that the shorts fit naturally.
"Just a note to let you know that I received my shorts last night and they're just perfect. Thanks for the very quick turn-around! I'll be wearing them at PBP for sure."
"These bib shorts have been a real life-saver! After searching high and low for good maternity cycling shorts and finding that the only available shorts that seemed to be designed for bicycling during pregnancy just didn't work well for me (inadequate chamois coverage), I checked with my favorite shorts source -- Bouré, of course -- and they suggested that I try the bibs. At five and a half months along, I'm finding them to be extremely comfortable, with the superior fit and chamois that I know and love. Plus, Bouré tells me they can remove the bib portion postpartum and put in a waistband, which appeals to my frugal side: rather than end up with a pair of maternity shorts that will be of no use to me later, I'll have an extra pair of my favorites!"
"After the great fit, I especially like the chamois. This will improve my longer rides so much!"
"Just wanted to let you know that I received the Elite shorts last week. I LOVE THEM! And they fit perfectly. I have Mountain Equipment Coop and Descente padded shorts and I can say, unequivocally, that yours are the best. The padding is much better, stays in place, and just feels better. I only need them for my spin cycle as my outdoors bike has an ergonomic seat, but for long rides, I think I’ll ditch my usual rowing shorts and wear your shorts because I like the ‘feel’ of them. I will certainly shop with you again."
