Does anyone find the DeSoto Forza Riviera short much smaller than an equivalent size in the regular DeSoto Forza lowcut short? Just wondering if I should try ordering a larger size with the Riviera, as I currently have both in Medium and find the regular Forza a better fit, but love the pad in the Riviera.
the fit seems the same, the riviera seems to run shorter in the inseam which i kind of like.
Just got a pair at a good price off of ST, and its definitely shorter than the advertised 9". Oh well, my killer quads will slay the ladies!
I have been wearing the small Forza lowcut short and agree that the Riviera short is even smaller. I wish I would have gotten the mediums. Maybe after washing them a few times they will get better.

forza low cut is so ghay. not many people can pull it off.
Definitely. No question. I have been wearing Mediums in the Forza low cut and had to return the Medium Rivieras for Larges.
Absolutely love the shorts. I wore the old low cuts for a couple years, but, hated the fleece chamois. The Rivieras are absolutely perfect. Love the chamois. But, no question the fit is different. I had trouble in the quads with the Medium Riviera, so, moved up to large and they are perfect.

Beg to differ. The low cuts rock; freer breathing when running, no waistband rollover when bent over on the bike, and the sit on the hips eliminating “muffin top.”
Wish they were a bit higher in the back though, getting a bit close to plumber’s crack when on the bike (but no worse than the speedo’s we all raced in in the early '90s).
