Pearl Izumi Women's Launch Short, Black Kaleido, Medium Review

The legs in these shorts are so much wider than they look in the photos! Depending on the style of Pearl Izumi bike shorts, I sometimes wear an XS, sometimes a S (I'm 5'4", ~110 lb, typically a size 1-2 in pants). I ordered these "Launch" shorts in a S; the liner chamois fit perfectly, but while the outer short fit great in the waist, they were positively gigantic in the hip and leg. I looked like I was wearing culottes. One positive? At least the fit was consistent. Check the comments: I posted the link to these shorts on Pearl Izumi's website, where the photos are a much closer depiction of what the shorts actually look like in person.

To get the shorts to look like the "stovepipe" style the Amazon models are wearing, a good 4-6 inches of fabric would need to be removed from the circumference of the leg opening. I imagine they used hidden clips or clothespins during the Amazon photo shoot to make the shorts look that slim in the leg. Amazon's product photos can often be hit or miss, and unfortunately these are definitely a miss -- really misleading.

I ended up getting two pairs of the Pearl Izumi Women's Canyon Short, in black and brown, both in an XS, instead. While a teensy bit tight, they actually look in person like they do in the photos. They're not stovepipe-slim, but they're better-looking than these huge culottes.

I wanted to like these shorts so badly -- especially the black plaid! I ordered two pairs in different colors and unfortunately had to return them both. They might work for people with more of an hourglass figure or with very large quadriceps. Good luck!
