The chart shows body measurements. For garment-specific measurements, see below.

Your favourite jeans size is always a good guide.

WAIST:
Measure around your natural waistline, mid way between your belly button and bottom of your rib cage. Keep the tape comfortably loose, level and breathe out.

INSIDE LEG:
Measure from the top of your inside leg at crotch point, down to your anklebone. You may need someone to hold the tape at your anklebone. They could hold it at your crotch... that's up to you, and them.

Well-made shorts with small flaw

The Materials and workmanship on the shorts are above average. Size M runs a little large for me (typically wearing size 30-31"). The main button came off after few weeks of wear, Vulpine should look into alternative ways of fastening buttons than a simple thread.

Thank you for your review, Jan-Christoph.

We're glad you like the shorts, but apologise for the issue with the button. We are aware of the potential issue with it, and it will be addressed in future production. Please get in touch if you'd like any assistance with yours.

How do they wear?

I love the style and the fit. But I've worn (3 hour ride) and washed just once – and there are already visible wear marks on the seat (obviously where I was sititng on the saddle). I'll monitor, but I'm worried they won't last so long.

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this issue to our attention, David. We're sorry to hear about the wear marks. This isn't something we've encountered before with our products, so please do monitor the situation, and if you encounter any more issues, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Loose button

Good fit, robust shorts. Good for all day wear. The thicker fabric gives a smart unwrinkled look. But after just one day of wear the button is hanging by a thread. I bought a pair of Vulpine shorts a couple of years ago and same problem. How can this not be fixed?

Thank you for your review, Adam. We appreciate the positive feedback! Regarding the loose button, please rest assured that the issue has been addressed and any rain shorts produced from this point onwards should not suffer from the same issue. While we have received a few reports of this issue recently, it does not appear to be consistent across all units we are holding stock of.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and encourage you to reach out directly if you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further.

Best wishes,

Great shorts, look smart !

As other have noticed, the sewing for the button is not great so I strengthened it to be on the safe side.

Thank you for your review, Ben. We're happy to hear that you're pleased with your new shorts. Your feedback about the button sewing has indeed been noted, and we appreciate you taking the extra step to strengthen it for added durability. Our next batch of these should have addressed the issue.

Good pair of shorts

Another great product from Vulpine. Comfortable on and off the bike. The material has a nice feel and they are well made. Good value in the sale. Size comes up a little large for me (30” waist) so small size fits well.

Thank you for your great review of our rain shorts, Paul! We're happy to hear that you find them comfortable and well-made, for use both on and off the bike. Your feedback on sizing is valuable, and we're glad to hear that the smaller size fits you well.

Classy well fitting shorts

I don't normally spend very much on shorts, usually I buy low cost high street brands that I get one summer wear from but with these I feel are going to last a lifetime! I'm 5 10', Waist 36 & XL fit me perfectly, they sit just at the knee but also look well when rolled up for a shorter look. They have a reflective strip on the outside leg when rolled & the vulpine green trim on the inside leg when give a very classy look and feel. The price is very high for a pair of shorts but I do think they're worth it & even better still if you catch them in the sale! The material is great, you really feel like you'll get years out of them especially for cyclists who need something rugged. I love the pocket design with the front pockets going quite deep to keep things safe and the back pockets shorter so you won't have stuff hanging & hitting the end of your bum cheeks! The zipped front pocket on inside is a brilliant touch as is the carabiner on the opposite side to keep your keys safe. All in all the best pair of shorts I own/ever bought & will definitely purchase another pair next year.
