CastelliMen's Endurance 3 Short(Return to Product Page)

The good: I love the outer fit and fabric (they do run a little small). The chamois is just the right thickness for comfort and performance. Now the bad: the fabric that covers the chamois is excessive, more than any shorts I've ever owned in many years of riding, to the point that I wonder if I got defective shorts. The excess fabric tends to bunch up, sometimes right near my ischial tuberosities, which is about the worst thing for long-distance comfort and performance. Overall disappointing for this price.

Been primarily using Castelli for all my bike apparel and the quality is usually very good. These are my second pair of Endurance shorts and they're great- good cushion, comfortable. Just make sure you get the right size. Much better fit than other brands that don't fit right with a lot of slack around the bottom.

I wear a size medium in multiple other quality name brands (Assos, Pearl Izumi), but this shorts size medium was too tight. The chamois is excellent. The fabric seems a little less stretchy than others.

Love these cycling shorts! Loaded with all the best of Castelli's comfort and compression technology. The only concern I have is they seem a bit high waisted compared to earlier comparable Castelli shorts of equal quality. I wash them in cold water and medium spin after each ride and they seem to last well over 300 long rides. Comfort worth the price!

These are well made, but the hoped for comfort level is just not there. Size up two.

Used for long rides. Padding is exceptional!
