Perfect Fit and Padding While Riding In 30-degree Weather
I wore these for a quick 20-mile ride at 4:30 AM this morning. It was chilly, 30 degrees chilly, and part of my ride is along the ocean – cold ocean air. Nothing like starting the day jumping out of a warm bed and into cycling gear to train in cold weather… It’s invigorating!HOW DID THESE LEGGINGS HOLD UP IN COLD WEATHER?These fleece lined leggings were great! My legs were warm the entire ride. I could feel a slightly cooler temperature on the top of my thighs when turning the cranks, but that is expected. After all, the material is stretching at the top of the crank cycle, but it was not cold, just a slightly cooler temperature.COMFORTI’m pretty picky because I spend a lot of time in the saddle; several thousand miles a year on trails and roads.The padding is perfect; it covered my sit bones and there was also enough padding through the front. These fleece leggings will be suitable on rides more than 20 miles in cool temperatures.Some people may think that having extremely thick padding is key, but I would argue that is not always the case. Likewise, with saddles, just because a saddle has lots of padding vs. one with little padding, it does not mean it will be awesome. It really comes down to personal preference because of one’s anatomy and what works.FITThe leg length is great, but the waist could be a little higher. I was feeling a little cool draft in the rear waist area. However, I need keep in mind I had my thermal shirt tucked in to help reduce a cool draft and this is also where my jacket overlapped. So that slight draft is likely attributed to my jacket not completely staying put and not really the leggings themselves.SIZE CHARTIf I went by the size chart, I would have been way off. Also, the reviews regarding fit were kind of all over the place too. This makes me wonder about the manufacturing; are there two manufactures that is creating sizing differences? With that said, I ordered a Medium, Large, and X-Large. The X-Large was too big. The Large was comfortable, but when it came down to it, I ended up keeping the Medium because it was slightly more fitted and after today’s ride, I’m glad I kept the Medium.For reference I am extremely athletic at 5’ 7” and weigh 147 lbs.CONCLUSIONThese fleece leggings kept my legs warm in 30-degree weather. The padding is perfect because it covered my sit bones and there was also enough padding through the front. These fleece leggings will be suitable on rides more than 20 miles in cool temperatures. Additionally, the fit is also great. Last, the size chart. I’m not sure what to say about the sizing. This is my first pair of Santic leggings. If you’re on the boarder, try one size either up or down, or do what I did and try all three sizes and keep what works best for you.****** Please let me know if this review was helpful by clicking the “Helpful” button below*****THANK YOU!

Perfect cold weather cycling pants
These fit true to size, and the padding is comfortable. When putting them on, you can feel the fleece lining in them, they are a bit thicker than normal cycling pants. They kept me warm on a 50 degree high wind ride, without overheating. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for something to keep warm and loose during colder rides.

Nice and warm on a 45 degree ride
These fit well and were comfortable for our first ride of the year (we live in Northern Illinois so we can't usually ride in January). The only issue is the padding when I walk is very uncomfortable, REALLY feels like a diaper, but when I sit on my bike it's fine. Since I'm not likely to be going on long rides with a lunch break like with summer gear I think it will be fine. Maybe the size is too big in the butt and that's why, but I didn't want it to be tight especially since I will have a shirt tucked in. Overall these are a good value for the money.

These are a sure thing!
I’m 5’5” and 120 lbs and the medium is a perfect fit with enough wiggle room. They’re soft on the inside and kept me warm and comfortable! The pad is awesome and I never had any discomfort. I will be getting a second pair 👍

These worked when I biked in 36 Degrees F with a wind chill
These fit a bit snug but they kept me warm despite the windy conditions on December 12th. I would recommend these because they kept me warm. I have a 33" inseam and these were long enough for me. I appreciated the ankle zippers as these tights aka wind pants definitely fit snugly. I did use these in combination with an extra layer of biking leg warmers for comfort during the windy bike ride. The care labels mention to wash prior to wearing. Most of the label is in Chinese.

Nice thermal cycling tights
These tights are very comfy and warm and the padding is good too. I am 5'6" 165 lbs and got the xl which fits me fine. I have worn them once in 50-60 degree weather on a 20 mile ride and they were kept me warm, almost too warm and I tend to be on the more cold blooded side so if you run hot then these may be good down to 40 for you. (I will not be riding in 40 deg if I can help it.) I definitely recommend them.

I ordered 2 sizes larger
They fit just ok. I read other reviews about how small they ran so I ordered 2 sizes larger than I wear. They are too large in the waist. It would be nice if they had a draw string or something at the waist to allow me to size the waist.I bought them because I needed something warm to wear in 40 or below weather. They are warm enough for 45+ weather but they will not be warm enough for me below this. For the price I am not that satisfied.

Fit well, great quality and warm.
Arrived much quicker than expected.I purchased a medium and they fit great other than length (a bit long but that's usual for me). Very comfortable.The padding is good quality; well stitched and thick enough.I only recently bought them and have worn them twice with a base layer underneath...temperatures around 2°c/-1°c (wind chill). Definitely warm enough.Will have to buy more.

NOT for colder weather
The product arrived ahead of the scheduled date. It's good quality but isn't heavy enough for colder weather. I returned it the day after receiving it and Amazon has already told me a refund has been processed. Excellent service from Amazon.

Génial ce pantalon!
Enfin!! Un pantalon de velo automne/hiver confortable et qui tient en place! Il est aussi très doux et coupe-vent. J’aime le porter sous un pantalon bermuda mtb.. kit parfait pour temps frais.Le padding est aussi adéquat pour les sorties de plus de 60km.. ce qui n’est pas le cas de plusieurs autres que j'ai essayé.Super pour le temps de 5 degrés et moins… sinon, trop chaud!.

As good as name brand
Received these within a day of ordering. Cycling tights were excellent quality, zippers well sewn, high waist and good quality fabric. Pad was a little thin, but still well sewn, so no regrets. Went on a 25 km ride the day I received and they were perfect! I'm 5'4' and 125 lbs and a size M fit perfectly. Would definitely order again.
