Have used previously Radunterhosen brand Crane from discounters (price 4,99 EUR). According to test reports and the partly euphoric reviews I have then this Craft underpants (29,95 EUR) ordered. Both trousers are made in China. The material is: pants 88% polyamide, 12% lycra, padding 100% polyester with the Crane and 91% polyester, 9% lycra pants and pads at the Craft. The cushioning at the Craft looks much more expensive, feels a bit tighter (finger pressure) but is not thicker than the Crane. In practice, however, no difference is noticeable. The headquarters of both pants is good, at the Craft of the genital area is slightly better pronounced. When Crane the cushion in the genital area is larger, which results in a better wind protection. When breathability I could not tell the difference. If you have problems on the saddle, will find no real relief through the thin cushion in both pants. If there was a guarantee that the workers in China will get a better reward for making the Craft as for the production of Crane, then you could accept the higher price, yes. But considering that the Craft partially for more than 50, - EUR is sold, it can be assumed that anyone deserves en route from China to Germany a fortune. So I will continue to buy at a discount store and use my Craft equal footing with the Crane.
