SanticCycling Shorts Padded for Mens Bicycle Riding Pants Bike Biking Clothes Cycle Wear Tights

(Update)- So it's been about 3 years. I'm not sure if they've changed the sizing, as the size chart looks different now compared to when I originally ordered. So a medium might actually fit a medium frame now, and now that I'm thinking of ordering another pair, I'm not sure on the sizing again.Anyway, my point in updating is to say the shorts have lasted pretty darn well. Really they are about the same as the first day I used them. They are my indoor trainer shorts, so don't get used quite as much as my outdoor kit, but they've been solid. I would buy again for sure. Just need to figure out sizing... again. Original review below. I was going to say I wasn't going to update to 5 stars simply because they still feel a bit cheap, but then I realized... they ARE cheap, so really no reason not to. So 5 stars now. Cheers.So, the first time I ordered I ordered the XL. I'm basically a 33" waste, with pretty large thighs. The thighs were my concern, as they measured even the max size for the XL. However, the issue is that while the leg bands were pretty tight, the waste band was, while tight enough, not that tight. So even though I held onto the XL pair, I ordered a LG pair to compare, and figured if they didn't fit I would just send them back and would probably not order another pair.So the LG are tighter on the thigh, but not so much that my circulation is an issue at all, and I don't have any discomfort. The waste band is tighter, which is nice so they don't creep down on rides as easily as the XL.Chamois: So the chammy, so far, is fine. When you're just walking around in them, it feels a bit like a diaper, as it it is pretty stiff and sticks outward from your buttocks a bit so it certainly doesn't feel all that flattering. On the bike, it feels fine. It's not as good as really high performance chamois spandex, but it seems a little better than the low end chamois from big manufacturers' lower end models. I'm not sure how the chamois will hold up over time, which makes me a little reticent to order another pair.That all said, the price is really great, and hard to beat. I work in a bike shop and nice spandex still cost me about 2x as much as these. Of course those are the premium models, so not a straight comparison I realize. Just giving some context. If the chamois lasts a year, I'll be impressed and certainly ready to order more.I think based on the quality so far, these shorts get a 4 star rating, but for value, so far, I would say 5 star. For now I'll hand over a 4, and if the chamois holds up for a while, I'll adjust to a 5.

4 months old and the padding is already folding over on itself. These pants have never seen the inside of a dryer and get washed on gentle. Quite disappointed.

Update: I've gone on five or six rides with these now, and of course I've washed them in between each ride, and they're holding up pretty well! The chamois scoots around a little bit, now, compared to when it was new - I guess it must be stretched out weird somewhere. But not too bad.Original review - still pretty accurate impression:Five stars are for decent performance considering the low price. FIT: I'm usually a medium or large in US sizes depending on the brand, but based on the reviews I got these shorts in XL. They fit perfectly. My waist is 34 in cheap big-box brands and 36 in more fashionable brands, 6'0" 205 lbs. My sit bones are 13.0 cm apart and the chamois padding on the XL was a decent width for me, with a 155 mm wide saddle (specialized Power Comp).EXPERIENCE SO FAR: It took a good 40 mi ride to break them in and get everything to form to my bum without scooting around, but then they were great. The padding has venting holes that are somewhat effective at breathing. I worked up a good sweat (lots of short steep hills) and stayed comfortable on a sunny 75 °F day. I'm washing them now and will report back on how they hold up. One seam in the crotch looks like it's already starting to fray, though.No, they aren't as comfy or high-performing as expensive shorts, but if you want a cheap functional pair to destroy, look no further!

The shorts are fine for what they are, but they don't last at all. The pad comes loose very quickly and makes them pretty useless.

Now that I've used these shorts for many rides over a few months, I think they're actually pretty good for the price. The fit was good for my skinny but long legs. The spandex and stitching is comparatively comfortable to most of the other mid-price chamois I've owned in the past. And the chamois padding itself is nice and wide for where my sit bones are.Some might feel the padding in the chamois is too thick, but that's personal preference. And I haven't used them on any extra long rides yet, so I'm not sure how they'll feel after a full 8-12 hour day in the saddle. But the general weekend warrior use they've been on so far has been plenty good for the price.

I ordered a pair last year and needed to replace a tattered pair so these were the perfect choice. Just like the earlier purchase, a perfect fit. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Update to earlier comments below on sizing in case of help to anyone:Per below, I originally ordered XXL - too big. Replaced with XL which has been fine. Large possibly might be even better to absolutely ensure padding stays in right place between me and seat while riding. With XL have to pull rear waist of the shorts up high on my back before rides - and occasionally also need to do so during rides if back of shorts have slid down a bitthe XXL i ordered had tag saying "Asia XXL / U.S. XL". The XL tag said "Asia XL / U.S. L".The size at ordering seems to refer to the Asia size on the tag.fyi what i consider to be my "waist" size when i buy pants (36 inches) aligns with the Medium in the "Hip" row (not the data in "Waist" row) in the sizing chart for these shorts...——————————Great shorts. Comfortable. Good padding. Great customer service. Good value. Will order more.RE: sizing - After reading many reviews and looking at sizing chart, i ordered XXL. Unfortunately, XXL turned out to be too large and padding did not stay snug in proper place on my rear so that the padding in contact with seat - i.e. the area of shorts above padding is what in contact with seat - so no benefit from padding...All solved by getting the XL, one size smaller - though size chart and reviews had led me to believe XXL my correct size. I am 6 feet, 195 pounds, ~36 inch waist

Die Marke ist top in Fahrrad Kleidung .Hab die Hosen in allen Varianten und bringe meinen Mann jetzt auch da ran und habe ihn auch überzeugt .Die Kissen am Hintern sind an der richtigen Stelle .Ich kaufe sie immer wieder gerne .👍👍👍👍👍

Bike shorts are not all the same for sure! This product is great as it really does feel like there is a lot of padding in there. After a few initial MTB rides, yes that padding is top notch! I always wear shorts over the top to extend the life of the cycling shorts. Nothing worse than see-through lycra! RIGHT? Recommended.

Padding is sufficient for moderate 40km to 80km rides.

Decent value for the price but not the best chamois I’ve used.Otherwise good fit & handy feed pocket

Larger sizing that expected.
