Hello,
My wife is after some new padded baggy cycle shorts,she has looked on the web but gets the impression they are all quite long.
she is only 5'3" so these would look a bit wrong on her.
Are there any other ladies on here who have found some shorter shorts?
if so what make and model are they please.
Thanks in advance,
Fraser
I'm 5' 4" I use altura quantum shorts:

I am 5 foot and find all the ones I have tried a bit on the long side. Particularly long ones are my Endura singletracks avoid them! I have some Pearl issumi ones that are a good length but they are a couple of years old now, sorry.
Thanks, anymore?
5'3 here too, my Endura Singletracks fit perfectly. They don't come with a liner, but are compatible with Endura clickfast, I usually have 3/4 length tights underneath. Endura Humvees on the otherhand are awful and have a saggy bum.
I have some lovely (XS) Oakley shorts too that I picked up cheap in a sale, the liner is awful but the baggies are really nice.
5'3 find 3/4 length tights seems to be the only way to go for me, have a pair of endura tights but have to fold them under as too long!
My wife is 5'3" and really loves her Loeka shorts.
I've got some short spesh ones, but they're really a bit too short - only for wearing when it's proper warm. Otherwise, Endura I think. (I'm 5ft2 or 3)
I have these shorts from ground effect (an online company from NZ but post very quick)

They are quite short on me (a bit too short really but I'm 5'6), although the picture on the link makes me think maybe they have redisgned them a bit.

I like these - slightly shorter on me at 5' 8" 😀
Are you joking?
My wife has problems finding shorts that AREN'T short! I think nearly every clothing company makes 'short' shorts but few make anything longer. Why do clothing companies think all women want shorts that are above the knee before you've even got on the bike (my wifes words). My wife hates those kind of shorts...
She's 5' 6" BTW
