Great Fit - Breathable
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought these shorts for a cycling trip in Italy. My old cycling shorts were 10+ years old and completely shot. These arrived and I immediately went out on an hour long ride to test them out. I discovered that I love them! The fit is great - I like the longer leg as it seems yo provide compressive support. The chamois is generous for an "older" seat - I experienced no break in period. Wore these in very hot conditions in Italy and they were great.
