Has anyone used and rate these at all?
I’m longer leg than the usual and a 35 waist and on paper these sound like they’d be spot on, just wondering how they stack up.
I’ve got the decathlon AM ones in large and although they’re great, they ride upto above my ankles as they aren’t long enough.
Just thought I’d ask as they’ve been out a few years now
I’ve got a pair and really like them, they are pretty thin material and light weight but not flimsy if that makes sense? I have crashed in them loads and they have so far survived with out rips or tears
I have midget 30” leg though so can’t comment on that! I have the medium size, I have the waist ratchet some up tight but it works for 32” waist. On the sizing chart I’m placed in the medium so think they are pretty accurate
I use large 50/01 ride pants and have a 34" waist and 34"inseam. It fits well waist wise. Leg length spot on.
Brilliant cheers guys, going to be my next purchase I think! Either that or Dharco, but not sure on their sizing, then again if they’re good for Cathro…..
So I ordered the Large pants, seem to be fine leg length wise as per how they’re meant to be nowadays but I’m more like a 35 waist currently and I had to breathe in to do the fly up, so buying the XL’s to see if they’re any better and will either keep or return if the XL’s aren’t better
How skinny are the legs? I’m looking for a pair that will go over my big quads/thighs without looking like I’m wearing a pair of jeggings
Errrm so they are nice and snug going over the feet so they will stay away from the chainring, but I too have fairly big calves too and they’re not like Lycra… just a nice fitted fit with a bit of looseness. Some look painted on out there but I think these are a bit looser on the leg a bit, certainly baggier on the knees too and there is actually extra material added to the knees for bigger pads I think but I only wore them earlier without pads. I just found I had to breathe in a tad to get them fully shut at the waist and thought they aren’t going to be long term comfortable like that.
I’d say if you’re 34 waist and toned then large would be fine for someone, if you are working off any extra than that you’d be best off with the XL!
Quite limiting though in a way as anyone with say a 38-40 inch waist are not catered for but I suppose they’ve got a USP and don’t want to hold onto stock if it doesn’t sell for example.
Hopefully this is a good honest review too which helps, it’s what I always try to look for when searching for something.
