Santic Men's Cycling Shorts Padded Bicycle Riding Pants Bike Biking Clothes Cycle Wear Tights

Update: I've gone on five or six rides with these now, and of course I've washed them in between each ride, and they're holding up pretty well! The chamois scoots around a little bit, now, compared to when it was new - I guess it must be stretched out weird somewhere. But not too bad. Original review - still pretty accurate impression: Five stars are for decent performance considering the low price. FIT: I'm usually a medium or large in US sizes depending on the brand, but based on the reviews I got these shorts in XL. They fit perfectly. My waist is 34 in cheap big-box brands and 36 in more fashionable brands, 6'0" 205 lbs. My sit bones are 13.0 cm apart and the chamois padding on the XL was a decent width for me, with a 155 mm wide saddle (specialized Power Comp). EXPERIENCE SO FAR: It took a good 40 mi ride to break them in and get everything to form to my bum without scooting around, but then they were great. The padding has venting holes that are somewhat effective at breathing. I worked up a good sweat (lots of short steep hills) and stayed comfortable on a sunny 75 °F day. I'm washing them now and will report back on how they hold up. One seam in the crotch looks like it's already starting to fray, though. No, they aren't as comfy or high-performing as expensive shorts, but if you want a cheap functional pair to destroy, look no further!

I ordered the size "L" based on the published sizing guide (waist: 84cm / 33 in | height 170cm / 67 in) and the shorts fit perfectly. The finish quality is actually better than I expected, particularly along the edges of the leg openings. The neon green visibility piping also looks very, very slick. I tried the shorts the day they arrived, on my 8.3 mile evening commute, and found them to be quite comfortable. Initially it felt as if the padding was situated a bit too far back, but once on the saddle it was just right. The 4-star rating is due only to the fact I was hoping the padding would be a bit more firm than it is. While I've yet to wear the shorts for an extended ride, I suspect that at > 50-60 km / 30-40 miles I'll be wanting firmer / thicker padding. But I own padded cycling undershorts for such occasions, and I suspect those will come into play with the SANTIC shorts for longer rides. Regardless, excellent value for money, particularly if you're a casual cyclist looking for affordable shorts for commuting or rides under 50 km / 30 miles.

Update to earlier comments below on sizing in case of help to anyone: Per below, I originally ordered XXL - too big. Replaced with XL which has been fine. Large possibly might be even better to absolutely ensure padding stays in right place between me and seat while riding. With XL have to pull rear waist of the shorts up high on my back before rides - and occasionally also need to do so during rides if back of shorts have slid down a bit the XXL i ordered had tag saying "Asia XXL / U.S. XL". The XL tag said "Asia XL / U.S. L". The size at ordering seems to refer to the Asia size on the tag. fyi what i consider to be my "waist" size when i buy pants (36 inches) aligns with the Medium in the "Hip" row (not the data in "Waist" row) in the sizing chart for these shorts... —————————— Great shorts. Comfortable. Good padding. Great customer service. Good value. Will order more. RE: sizing - After reading many reviews and looking at sizing chart, i ordered XXL. Unfortunately, XXL turned out to be too large and padding did not stay snug in proper place on my rear so that the padding in contact with seat - i.e. the area of shorts above padding is what in contact with seat - so no benefit from padding... All solved by getting the XL, one size smaller - though size chart and reviews had led me to believe XXL my correct size. I am 6 feet, 195 pounds, ~36 inch waist

I would recommend this product and I would buy this product again. I do note that by their sizing guidance I would need a 3X but I ordered a 2X and it fits and works just fine for me. I feel this is a good value for the money.

I have never owned a pair of cycling shorts before but decided I needed some for my commute to work. Headwinds are a regular thing so anything I can do to cut down on wind resistance is helpful. However, these shorts to way more than just that. They keep your nuts in place, they provide a nice cushion to compliment the bicycle seat, and they allow more maneuverability on the saddle! I can't believe I had been cycling without proper shorts to the longest time. I have just placed a second order for more pairs! I am approximately a size 30 waist, maybe just under, so I followed the advice and went one size up. It definitely did the trick. I do not have the most muscular legs to I didn't have the same struggle of the led bands not fitting. At my leg width, the bottom of the shorts are snug around my legs, but not so tight as to feel it interrupts with my circulation. However, it is not too loose as to introduce any flapping. It really is the perfect fit. I look forward to Santic making more products for the cycling community!

Bike shorts are not all the same for sure! This product is great as it really does feel like there is a lot of padding in there. After a few initial MTB rides, yes that padding is top notch! I always wear shorts over the top to extend the life of the cycling shorts. Nothing worse than see-through lycra! RIGHT? Recommended.
