DHaRCO Shorts and Jerseys: A Product Review
(They also feature tech fabric t-shirts if you want an even more casual look.)
I purchased two long sleeved jerseys and one 3/4 sleeve jersey. I was pleasantly surprised by the pop of colors on the green/blue jersey. Photos that accurately show the colors of this jersey are almost impossible to get. Just trust me!
The women's shorts are probably one of my most favorite I've experienced so far with trying out gear this year. You will need to utilize their sizing guide to find the fit that is right for you. Normally I wear a size small in most American brands (Specialized, Shebeest, Bontrager, etc.) and for DHaRCO's shorts I had to purchase a size Medium.
(In other words, they size somewhat small and you will likely find yourself ordering a size up. If you are in-between sizes you should go with the larger of the two. I'm a 26/27 depending on the brand/cut of jean. I ordered a Medium for the shorts.)

The waistband is high, but it is not uncomfortable, especially for someone who hates that "digging into my stomach" feeling. The shorts have snap/zipper closure, so you have no worries at all of anything coming undone.
Bonus? No back gap allowed! The fit hugs your butt in such a flattering way! The shorts are baggy, but not too baggy. The true test will be when I wear them during the warmer months solo to see if the legs will snag my seat.
For late fall riding I wore the shorts over my tights for extra wind/cold protection. They fit over my layers and didn't bother me one bit.
Just adjust the velcro tabs for fit! I was able to still move around easily and didn't feel constricted with extra fabric.
They feel well-made and like they will last for a long time and I wouldn't balk at the price of the shorts after feeling how sturdy they are.They should easily withstand several seasons of riding.
The shorts do not come with a liner short, so if you choose to wear a padded liner short, wear what you love!
So go on over to DHaRCO's website, or check them out Facebook. Another big thank you to Dirty Jane for supplying us with a great opportunity to get our hands on some awesome gear!
