Great product which you expect from Dainese
These shorts fit comfortably under Dainese D1 Jeans. I am a size 34-36 and a large fit perfectly. Only a slight discomfort upon sitting down on the bike due to the coccyx armor, but that very quickly becomes unnoticeable when riding. The coccyx will most likely conform after a few rides. The shorts also breath well. I would recommend them.

Sizing Info
Not a lot to report here that other reviewers haven't reported already - great, protective, low-profile short that will protect you in critical areas in the event of a crash.
Sizing wise - I'm 5'10" 180 lbs. 34" waist. I purchased a medium. They fit perfectly, if not just a bit tight in the legs, but I wouldn't go a size up. Much of my weight is in my legs (larger quads).
I wear them under kevlar jeans. No one can really tell they are there. These are great for a somewhat bent over riding position. I ride a Thruxton-styled Bonneville. Great for sport riders. The tailbone protection WILL be uncomfortable for upright / cruiser riders.
May 13, 2013
Very comfortable with great protection.
I'm 5'7" about 150 lbs with a 32 waist and I purchased "Medium" size.
The shorts fit pretty snug but not uncomfortable just enough to keep the protection in place and are thin enough to wear under regular jeans (not skinny jean). The tail bone plate is unnoticeable during riding but it could become bothersome if you plan to wear it during a work day.

Comfy ride
Product fits great. I wear size 40 pants and I bought an XL. Lining for the waist and legs elastic is lined with rubber so that it stays put. Keeps the ride comfy. Definitely worth it for the price.

Very comfortable, great price
I originally bought these in a large, but they were a little too big. I am 5-9 and around 193. Most of my weight is in my gut :( ( im working on it lol) But I have skinny legs and my upper torso, aside from my stomach, is average to thin build. I returned them, with no hassle, for a medium. They fit perfect. They are very comfortable and not very bulky. I wear them with my slim jeans, not skinny jeans, and they fit well and are comfortable even on the bike.
When I returned the larges I was emailed and told the mediums were currently out of stock and that i would be notified as soon as they came in. True to their word I was notified. Two days later they came.
I've always had a very positive experience when dealing with the guys at Revzilla. Being a new rider I really rely on their opinions and experience. They are very helpful. You never feel like they are rushing you and you are never made to feel like an idiot. They really do take time with you and you can tell they really are into riding. Not like some places, the guys at Revzilla have experience with a lot of the stuff they sell and they know what they are talking about. I will continue to buy my gear and whatever else i might need , from Revzilla.

Armored underpants
You can wear these over your underwear, they're seem to have really good airflow, and I'm quite sure the pads will give the protection I want if I do have an off. Also fits well under my Icon jeans.

Good protective short
Fits good, haven't fallen so can't comment on protection but seems like it will do a good job. The tail bone protection seems solid but may sit a bit low but if I fall will probably be better off.

Slide shorts
Quality is good. Air flow definitely better than other shorts. I feel a little safer with these on after seeing some serious rash on my friend. Little weird at first but after 10 minutes you forget you have them on. The tail pad would definitely help keep your tailbone safe and the ce thigh pads would keep you from rashing up for sure. A little awkward sitting down on a hard surface but when riding you don't notice. I was telling my friend when he came over that i got a pair. He didn't even notice i had them under my jeans... Low profile and good protection... Not much but just a little piece of mind.. I would recommend.

Dainese Hard Shorts vs. AStars Bionic Freeride

What will be the major differences between the Dainese Hard Short and the Alpinestars Bionic Freeride? They both seem to have hard protection at the thigh and coccyx and soft padding at the hip. At similar pricepoints, which is more protective at the hip? Which is more comfortable (riding and walking)?

Answer:
I cant attest to the bionics but i bought a pair of the dainese awhile back and they are great. I feel they are more protective... they have the ce rated hip pads and the tail bone protector.. riding and walking they are comfy and give you a lot of air flow. They arnt very bulky either.. Cant hardly tell they are on..i ordered a large and i wear 36 pants and shorts.. they fit perfect3 months ago
Answer:
Ok, I actually bought the Alpinestars bionic shorts at first, and was pretty disappointed. They felt REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE thanks to the material (some kind of under-armor type with netting over top) which when trying to get into a squat position, limited the range of motion. The Alpinestars shorts I think provide a bit more protection, but it really seemed to get in the way. Not very comfortable and not terribly easy to move in. Also, regarding the type and thickness of padding they have, they don't really offer much room while wearing under a race suit or jeans. Once I bought the Dainese hard shorts, all of these problems and concerns were laid to rest. Protection yet extremely comfortable. No problems. Hope this helped!Age: 25-34

Answer:
I tried on the Hard short at the store and found them not tight enough for me (30 Waist). I did not like the armour moving and I had to adjust it after I had my riding pants on over them. It seemed that I would be doing that every time I got on the bike again.Instead of either I would recommend the Klim Tactical Short. Extremely comfortable for both riding and walking (I did review them). You will not even know you have them on.
Not the exact answer but I hope it helps.

differences between the Hard Shorts & the Pro Shorts

OK I can figure out that the hard shorts have a hard coccyx protector, but what other differences with the Pro Shorts? My main concern was which of the 2 are a thiner profile (& how much)? Not that I care how big my rear looks, but to wear under jeans/leathers wanting to know there is enough space. Tried the Pro shorts but not these so want to know how they compare

Answer:
I have never worn the Pro shorts but i did consider buying them. The price was a little too much so I bought the hard shorts instead. Im new to riding, but it seems like the hard shorts give you a lot for the money. They seem to have a little more then the freerides for less money. Im 5-9 and about 193. I have skinny legs and a thin build...but my gut it where all my weight is. I bought a large which were too big so i got mediums. They fit perfect. I wear them with slim jeans, not skinny jeans. They are very comfortable and breathe really well. I would buy the pro shorts if i had the extra money and would probably use those for cooler weather.Age: 35-44

Answer:
I bought the Alpinestars at first, but found them to be pretty uncomfortable. The large padding was a bit bulky and seemed to get in the way while wearing my race suit and even while wearing jeans. The padding on the Alpinestars is definitely thicker then the padding on the Dainese's, but at sacrificing quite a bit of comfort and flexibility. For me, the Dainses Hard Shorts were perfect. Fit well, excellent range of motion, and great protection.Age: 25-34

Answer:
they are not much different other than the coccyx pad and the elastic bands. i find them pretty comfortable and not too bulky, but if you already tried the Pro shorts you may disagree.i just put a whole review on both of the shorts as i got the pro shorts and my boyfriend got the hard shorts. it should be up shortly.

Unfortunately, Dainese doesn't provide any specific sizing info for this product, but by your measurements, I would estimate you would get a snug fit out of a MD, or a more relaxed fit out of a size LG.Age: 25-34

Answer:
I hope you don't mind my opinion. I'm 5-9 and about 193. I normally wear a size 36 in jeans. My legs are skinny and I'm a thin build, not to mention i have no butt lol. Most of my weight is in my gut, which is why the 193 lol. The large was a little too big for me so I went with mediums. They fit perfect. I hope this my help a bit. But remember, even if you get the wrong size Revzillas return policy is excellant.Age: 35-44

Answer:
If it helps I wear a medium and I am 5'11" 170lbs and wear size 31or32. The Mediums are a bid snug (not tight) but that's how you want them. If they are too loose then the plates will move a little and wont offer the proper protection.Age: 18-24
