I'm not a fan of this thick seat cushions but without cycling shorts are rare. This one allowed with two spirited silhouettes removing the cushion (forever). The pants fit, but many might be too small. In particular, the well rubberized non-slip trouser legs sitting bombproof. I have now already two copies and the durability is OK. The fabric is a bit sensitive to mechanical shock. Abrasion on the seat of your pants, I can not find after 5'000km.
