Product Customer Reviews

Bought for my son, these shorts are well made and have good features like the phone pocket
These shorts are well made, waterproof, practical and comfortable. A bargain at this price.
Very comfortable shorts over 4-5 hours of trail riding.
The shorts had a rip in them. I'm amazed it was on the shelf available for sale when it was defective. Now I have a long drive back to return. Best to carefully look over garments before purchasing
Hi Shane,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with our ST 500 Mountain Bike Shorts. We always strive to create exceptional experiences for our customer and it seems like this time we've missed the mark. When you're able to, please come back to your closet store and we'll be happy to return these shorts for you.
Sportingly,
Tamara
Excellent product, great quality. Good value for money.
Great shorts for my very day commute to work. They fit perfectly and are really comfortable
Size is about 2-3 sizes too small

Go true to size
The shorts themselves are great, they fit well are comfortable, strechy and pretty nice. However the phone pocket is HORRIBLE your phone and whatever you put in there will bop up and down as you pedal (its fine while you go down though. I would recommend getting a different one from Decathlon but probably a different model.
Too small, not great quality
Good quality shorts but lack of pockets and maybe buy a size larger
Very comfortable, but undersized. Would definitely go a size up on normal fit.
Just bought a pair in large size. The outer shiets are a great fit but the inner shorts are very tight particularly restrictive around the thigh. I don't wont to go up a size as the outer shirts won't fit. Will probably buy a separate inner shirt on a better size.
I have purchased similar shorts from Decathlon in the past and am a medium. Website states that the medium size is 93 to 98 cm as does the label on the shorts. On receiving the shorts they are far too small, I measured the shorts as being a 76cm, which is 17cm smaller than advertised.
Good shorts a pity about the liners The shorts are well designed and comfortable with well placed pocket The liner seem a strange shape so I wear my older inners with the shorts

Keep your gloves handy!
When mountain biking, gloves are often the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. To keep your gloves handy without having to dig through your pockets, these shorts have a loop at the waist. You can snap your ST 100 and ST 500 gloves on them using the press stud to keep them handy at all times.
About these shorts...
To enjoy your rides more, these shorts feature 2 components: a stretch fabric to follow your every move and a durable fabric to prevent snags and tears. They are also lightweight and breathable for better moisture management. To give you greater freedom of movement when mountain biking, the waistband is elasticated for better fit and stretch. The cut was designed to keep the crotch from catching on the edges of the saddle.
Clever pockets
To have everything you need when you head out for a ride, these shorts have clever pockets: - At the back, you'll find a secure zip pocket to hold keys, an ID, a debit card etc. - There is a waterproof secure zip pocket at the back of the thigh (easy to access, even with just one hand) that is specially placed to keep your smartphone safe if you fall. - Along the thigh are 3 pockets for cereal bars: just push up to slide them out.
The evolution of these shorts: from our ideas to your input
We originally wanted to create a pair of shorts designed especially for mountain biking and to carry everything you need when riding. Our team of 5 designers spent 18 months working on studies, technologies, designs, prototypes and lab tests and gathering your input. We went to France and Italy to meet with around 30 mountain bikers to do functional and usage tests. The end result? A product that suits your sport and your needs!
Shorts, undershorts, pad? our tips!
The ST 500 shorts are sold with removable undershorts to change undershorts without changing the shorts (just like you would an undergarment)! The shorts and undershorts are sold attached. Before riding, remember to separate them! Why? Because each has their own role to play: - The undershorts are worn against the skin for comfort and support. - The shorts give you freedom of movement when riding.
