"The Reign is made of a very soft fabric, a 50/50 mix of bamboo and cotton. The knickers have two snaps and a zipper fly as well as belt loops and a drawstring at the waist. Pocket space includes a cargo compartment with an MP3 Sleeve, a grommet for the headphone cord and a loop near the back pocket to keep the wire out of harm's way. The gusseted crotch provides a wide range of motion and eliminates bunching, and the sweat-wicking mesh liner can be removed. The reign can feel big and occasionally even cumbersome if you're out for a ride of extended length. But it works fine if you're out for a shorter excursion or just a little casual pedaling."

Ether Short: Outside Summer Buyer's Guide
Testers loved the tagless, adjustable waistband and removable chamois. And because most dirt jerseys are too baggy to secure an ipod, the MP3 pocket and headphone port make sense on these shorts. Killer Value $  |
Ever Jersey and Navaeh Short: Bicycling Magazine May 2009
"With slightly puffed sleeves, a snug fit, the hint of a plunging neckline and retro styling, the Ever jersey is kick-ass girly. Made from a sweat-sucking blend of polyester and bamboo, it has an mp3 pocket, a crucial zippered key pocket and an adjustable back pocket. At first glance, the Navaeh shorts look a bit like golf shorts. But it all makes sense when you start pedaling. The comfy, soft fabric moves with you, never catching the sadlle. The shorts have four deep pockets, an mp3 pocket, adjustable belt and a detachable liner."   |

Knicks: Bicycling, September 2008

Dose Short: Bike Magazine July 2008
Meet the Dose short. A few doses of sensibility: six pockets, a zipper/Velcro/ snap front closure and gusseted design. One dose of sound material choice: 50/50 bamboo-and cotton blend. And one dose of reality: shorts plus liner for under 50 clams.   |
