  • Best shorts I've ever worn
Color: Black Size: Large
I've worn shorts from the usual big names but these are superior. The fabric stretches but gently, not tourniquet-style like the others. And the pad is thinner (but very adequate). It's not the big thick wad of stuff I've experienced in others. I wear Craft tights also, in various weights, for cycling and XC skiing and honestly, I don't know what the fabric is but it is really superior. ... show more

  • Wasn't worth the high price!
Color: Black Size: Large
These fit quite well (Large as all my higher priced shorts are) but chamois was a little light and jagged stitching. May have kept them but please Craft take off the leg branding which detracts from the style.

  • Sleek, stylish and comfortable
Color: Black Size: X-Large
The padding is less generous than my previous pants, but it's clear Craft has designed a pad intended to provide more protection with less bulk. The good news is they have succeeded.

  • Not the same as before
Color: Black Size: X-Large
I've had Craft cycling shorts for years and they have been exceptional in all regards. This last pair however, is a complete disappointment. FTR, I'm 5'11", 180 lbs I ordered the Essence shorts with the Infinity C3 pad that I have owned for years and it is NO way remotely as good as the previous version of the same shorts with the Infinity C3 pad. In my 'good' pair the chamois/pad is blue, the new version is gray and man is it awful. My first day in these shorts I got 45 minutes into an indoor trainer ride and my backside was HURTING. My older pair I can go 1+ hours in with no discomfort. I'm not sure what Craft did with their chamois design but, it is a big backward step. ... show more

  • Great Ride, Extremely Comfortable
Color: Black Size: Medium
Excellent cycling shorts. Came from a cheap pair of Canari and these are night and day. Better chamois, compression, and quality. Exceptionally comfortable. 5'10, 170 lbs and medium fits me great.

  • Great quality and fit
Color: Black Size: Medium
These are very well-made and work perfectly for cycling. Nice pad in the seat, and the wide waist band keeps them comfortably in place when you're in constant motion. I like the rubber branding on the thigh. Great looking.

  • comfortable to manuver in
Color: Black Size: Medium
My grandson was so excited to get these when they came in and even though they fit, I believe we should have gone up a size. Forgetting to take into account they were made out of compression material, he has a small muffin top but he claims they're comfortable and he has no hindrance in mobility or bending, riding as normal. ... show more
