I have chosen these pants because of the positive reviews for long mountain bike rides. Visually, the pants are also very well done. When sample seats and the upholstery was quite enjoyable, if that was still the case for longer trips, I sadly can not say. After I send the pants back, because even with the short gestation period became apparent that his pants across the thighs, the pad and end at the ankle has pleasant oppressive seams that chafe guarantees on long trips. Conclusion: no return and buy recommendation. PS: Size 38 / S is on the label. Otherwise, M = 38
