As a long time HandUp fangirl, I've sort of gotten use to the men's sizing, or at least found my size and it be mostly consistent. For reference, I am just under 5'3 and around 170lbs. I wear a size L jorts and AT pants. After going back and forth trying to guess my size, I ordered a 14. The fit in the waist and hips fit decently, and it's possible I could have gone for a 12, but then it might have been too tight. Anyway, I love the sage color in person, the pockets, etc, but the thing that made me return them is the leg openings. Most of the photos seem to indicate these should be just slightly relaxed, or only just wider than form fitting like the jorts, but the leg opening was so wide it looked funny on me. There seemed to be excess fabric I could fit another half leg in one hole. I never got around to using them so I can't say how they handle on a hike or ride.
I really like these shorts! I was looking for cycling shorts to go fitness riding in that look like normal shorts. I like how the pockets zip and they are a good inseam. They don't ride up at all when I ride. I normally buy men's shorts for an androgynous look but I feel like these are decently baggy and a good inseam to be androgynous to me. I have a 31in waist and 40 in hip and ordered 8-10 and like the way they fit. My literal only complaint would be to add an internal drawstring so I can pull tighter since they are stretchy. But they have enough hold, look like normal clothes, and have a good inseam that isn't too long or too short
Great bike shorts for women! Also have a little stretch which makes them very comfy. Had to exchange for different size and it was super easy.
No gap at my waist. Wahoo. Fit through my hips and legs. Wore them for riding with a chamois and without for work.
The pockets zip to keep my chapstick secure and the back pocket is perfect for a phone.
I'm a curvy/thin girl. Waist is 27 and hips at 40 inches (it's all butt). Nothing ever fits both my measurements but these shorts do!!! It's amazing. They are clearly a high quality while also being lightweight enough so you dont overheat and the stretch is shocking. These shorts set the bar for outdoor activ wear. Highly recommend, will be back for more. I'm usually a size 6/8 and these are a relaxed fit. I find them perfect for my chamois. Given the stretch, I might have been able to squeeze into a size smaller but I'm v happy with the current fit.
Grabbed these women’s hot lap shorts even though they were a shorter inseam than I usually like for riding, but I ended up loving them! Great on and off the bike. Generous fit, good stretch.
Nice fit. True to size, good quality
The best! These have been my go-to shorts all summer. Perfect for a casual night out, shredding some single track and everything in between. They have the perfect amount of stretch to allow for comfort but not get baggy as you wear them. Especially love that the pockets zip. Hand-Up didn't miss a thing in the design of these shorts.More colors please!!
Great marketing email to keep me up to date, another awesome product, and hilariously great shipping update emails!
I have been cruising around in these shorts for about a month or so now and really enjoy them. They're perfect for wandering and hiking, but I also took them out on an XC MTB ride with liner shorts and they performed amazingly well. The material wicks super nicely. PLUS the front pockets have zippers to put car keys and such while you're riding. The two back pockets are also full sized and easily hold my giant phone.
I usually wear a 27 jean, 4/6 pant and got the size 4/6. It fits perfect and is good on its own, but also worked well with my pearl izumi liner shorts.
My literal only critique is that I wish they were slightly higher rise. They come up to just below my belly button, and it's just a fit preference on my end. I'm hoping these are successful and we get more colors, I'll definitely be buying again!

Love them! They fit great and convinced they make me faster 💨
The pockets are a good size and depth, the length on the leg is great and they have the perfect amount of stretch. I used the sizing chart and the chart was 100% accurate. I would buy a size up if I was going to wear biking shirts underneath. I love these shorts and I can't wait to buy another pair(s) when the new colours arrive.
These shorts are a great length, I’m only 5’2” and don’t like a real long short. They feel hardy and should hold up, zipper pockets are great although could be slightly bigger. Maybe it’s just my butt but I could use a little more wiggle room there. Waist and leg size are good. Overall nice simple ride shorts
I was really excited to get these. I ordered immediately after seeing the email saying that they had women specific shorts. The quality seems great and loved the zippered pockets but the sizing was way off for me. I have a booty and I could barely get these over my butt to pull them on and then I couldn’t even come close to closing the button. For reference I am a solid medium in almost every type of bottoms I wear and can occasionally wear a small. Never a large. I am 5’4” and 145 lbs with a bum. I would recommend sizing up but I think the legs of the shorts will then fit too big. Bummer they didn’t work out.
Thank you, Handup!!
Beyond stoked to have a do-it-all pair of shorts that are super comfy and fashionable. Ladies, do yourself a favour and grab a pair before summer gets here!
Love these shorts--stretchy/breathable material... doesn't ride up like all the rest lol
