Review by CaptainPicoReviewed 6/13/2022by CaptainPicoCycling EnthusiastPico Rivera, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Good quality for Castelli entry level shortsI now have 6 pairs of these shorts. I initially bought (3) 3XL, which is not an option at BTD. Since then I lost some weight and decided to purchase the 2XL as the 3XL felt a bit loose. Castelli runs small so make sure to upsize. The shorts are comfortable and well made for the price. The leg grippers feel fine to me, even though after slipping the shorts on I snap the grippers in place as the internal stripped gripper bands don't necessary lay perfectly flat immediately. The padding is also fine for me as I am a daily rider of usually 20 miles (solo) and occasionally 40 miles when riding with friends. Overall these are my favorite shorts as they fit my body well and you barely notice your wearing them. Since I ride every day I appreciate a good name brand short at a competitive price.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/25/2021by Anonymous1 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Blistering Giro 4 Leg GripperAs the title says, I'm getting leg blisters because of the gripper, recommended only for short rides like for 1 or 2 hours of riding. Giving 2 stars for good quality fabric because if the fabric aint good I'm only giving 1 star.

Review by IanReviewed 6/25/2021by Ianportland1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Great shortsLove these shorts! They feel slightly thinner than my others but provide just as much if not more support and comfort. Worth the buy for sure.

Review by TderiggiReviewed 11/3/2020by TderiggiCasual CyclistSacramento CA3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Good quality and value Regarding sizing, I�m 5-11 and 155 lbs, and tried both medium and large sizes. The medium was uncomfortably snug, so I�m using a large, which is very comfortable, though maybe slightly large for me. But I�m a casual rider and I don�t like super tight shorts.
