ENDURA PRO SL BIBSHORT BK - XXL (Relaxed Fit)

I now have 3 pairs of these shorts and for me at least they are the comfiest I've had. I've also tried shorts from Assos, Castelli, Pedla and Forz, but none come close. I'm 190cm and about 85kg and wear a size L. The laser cut straps really help with over shoulder comfort while giving excellent support. This can be a problem for us taller riders. Other brands straps can be too tight and pull the shorts up to places you don't want them to be. Alternatively the straps are so thin and light that they bunch up on your shoulders and start to dig in. The chamois is a great thickness and firmness for long distance riding. I'm regularly riding over 100km and have never had any saddle soreness. The chamois also extends far enough forward to give you padding when sitting on the nose of the saddle and to protect you privacy from the inevitable pitfalls of micron thin lycra when standing. As some have reported, the wedgie can be inclined to give you a wedgie when walking around, but this issue disappears after 10 to 12 rides. I find the cut of the shorts is excellent for me, fitting snugly without being overly compressive. They have minimal seams and the laser cut bottoms avoid that tighter band that can occur around the leg on many other shorts. Living in the tropics I really appreciate the cold black technology that can take a little sting out of the sun. Its hard to be sure if its working (especially after 20 washes), but good to know its there. The material does wick sweat very quickly and dries very quickly when damp or wet. In colder climates the probably need. The only problem I have had is that when they do wear out, the first thing to happen is a see-through patch occurring at a place where anyone riding behind really would prefer not to be looking! For me this has been at about 6 to 10,000 km. As mentioned, I do live in the tropics and get very very sweaty, so that could be a factor. Just bought the now Pr SL EGM to continue to preserve my rear end modesty. Not ridden yet, but a quick check indoors and they seem as if the chamois could be even more comfy, didn't give me the new chamois wedgie effect, have kept the Cold Black technology (thank you Endura) and have better breathability at the back. For me these are a great summer short and I haven't been able to find better. Hope they work for you too,

Fit is perfect, with the med padding. Very comfortable. Up there with the best 👌

Ordered two pairs, partly to replace an older pair of the same type that have seen a lot of wear. I ordered medium as that's what I had before (even though the size guide would suggest a small - I'm about a 32 inch waist) and they are a snug fit for me. Only issue is that only one pair has been delivered and I'm awaiting the second pair (but have had email updates).
