I myself have tried the pants in size XL. I drive a normal touring bike with 27 gears and a narrow Brooks leather saddle.
The saddle is very hard. For normal short distances do not bother me. For longer trips wearing these pants is absolutely beneficial. The pants have a great fit for me, she supports the muscles slightly. Rear she has a small zipper pocket. The pant is well made. All seams are clean. At the waist, a beautiful wide rubber is incorporated, the leg cuffs have also rubbers. It scrubs and rubs anything, the gums are neither loose nor too tight to, just great.
Two questions that might provide a "cycling layman".
1. Is it not better if the seat cushion of the pants can be removed? No it is not! I have a bike trekking trousers in which you can take out the gel cushion. The trekking pants are neither "fish nor fowl". In this Gregster pants the gel cushion is firmly stitched. The cushion remains exactly where it needs to sit there and has for my needs as well the appropriate hardness.
2. Why 3/4-pants? From running I know only short jogging pants, which, going down to the knee or just jogging pants. Therefore, I was here first, because of the length of a little puzzled. In conversation with a fellow cyclist, it turned out quickly that just a layman, how can I put this question. My friend goes almost exclusively with 3 / 4langen pants. It is important that the knee is not cool. His tip, select 3/4-length pants and maybe start at the beginning of the tour with long socks. If it then gets warmer, simply roll down these socks, so that the air stream then cools the calves.
By material mixture 80% nylon and 20% elastane, the pants every movement well and channel sweat well outwards.
The pants can be washed easily at 40 ° C in the machine.
My friend uses the pants in size L on his bike. His first impression of the pants is the same as my: Great product!
Previously he used pants from Go ... which will cost almost double. So, great product at a reasonable price, full 5 stars!
