Solid Club Ride quality, great fit! This is my second pair of Club Ride shorts, my first pair are olive Joe Dirt size L - my favorite pair of shorts ever owned hands down. The Joe Dirt's are a soft, stretchy form fitting material that I totally love -- these Fuze shorts are a much different material, very sturdy more synthetic feeling shorts but equally form-fitting around the hips and butt. There is just enough room in the leg openings to fit my POC Air kneepads without at all being baggy without them. Super durable air-breathing material...these double as killer surf and swim tested beach shorts (already tested!). I'm a big fan of CR products based on my experiences so far!
