Crazy Lime

Discover these amazing Crazy Lime spandex rowing shorts.  They feel great against your skin and the super smooth spandex doesn't chafe.

The American Cut has a longer inseam and a higher waist.  The European Cut has a shorter inseam (shows more of your leg), and more of what most people call a regular to lower rise waist (think an inch below your navel or right around your hip bone).

Great as a theme for your boat and your team, either as matching or in a wild mish mash of color.

The "American Cut" spandex shorts have a longer inseam and a higher waist.  For those who are not in the fashion industry, the inseam refers to the distance from the 'taint' or crotch (i.e. if you move your hand up between someone's legs, where it stops ...), to the lower edge of the shorts on your leg.  The higher waist means the shorts come up higher on your torso, closer to your belly button (old school folks call that a 'navel.') 

These are unisex shorts.  They work equally well for men and women.  There is no pouch in front for a guy's junk.  The spandex just holds it in place and yes, if you are one of those guys with a longer piece of equipment, it will probably end up finding its own resting area to the right or left.  Okay, now that we have that out of the way, here are the size charts.  They are different for men and women.  The inseam is the same ... it just gives you a guideline of the how far down the short will stretch down your leg (remember, they are spandex and they stretch every which way).

For girls, use the weight and waist size to help you find your correct size

For guys, weight is not important; just your waist size.  So the men's chart has different waist sizes that work better for guys.  Don't use the women's size chart, no matter how girly you may be feeling right now ... ;)

The "Euro Cut" spandex shorts have a shorter inseam and a lower waist.  For those who are not in the fashion industry, the inseam refers to the distance from the 'taint' or crotch (i.e. if you move your hand up between someone's legs, where it stops ...), to the lower edge of the shorts on your leg.  The lower waist means the shorts come up lower on your torso, sitting closer to your hip bones [yes, you could call these low rise but in reality they are more like just a regular pair of shorts so they don't sit so low that you need to do some lady/man scaping and no, the top of your perfectly shaped buns won't be sticking out of the top of the shorts ... ]

To some folks, these are called volleyball shorts and guys instantly repulse because they perceive them as 'booty shorts for girls' and the lower part of your butt cheek will be showing.  That's not true.  You do have a respectable inseam down your leg, with fabric.  Not nearly as much as the American Cut but for guys, it is a respectable 3 - 5 inches, and for girls, really we've seen anywere between 4 - 6 inches of inseam after they try them on.
