EttoreMens Gel Padded Cycling Shorts Road Bike Breathable Quick Dry Bicycle - Arrow

So far so good. I have a 32” waist so wasn’t sure whether to opt for Medium (30-32) or Large (32-34). Went for large and they fit fine.

Wanted a cheapish second pair of shorts for indoor cycling during lockdown. I already have a pair of dhb shorts in Medium but a new dhb pair is nearly twice the price of these. I've only worn these once but they're pretty good. Even though I got a large as per the size guide, I found the waist elastic to be tighter than the dhb but not uncomfortably so. On the flip side I found the backside area a bit looser, which might not be great for longer cycles but not a problem for me. Seem well constructed so quite happy overall.

For the money these are pretty decent. The material is thicker than other pairs I’ve have and quality seems good.The padding is probably the best thing about them with plenty of it and in the right place.The one thing I’m not keen on is the elastic around legs and waist. It’s quite broad and very tight but this could be that I should’ve sized up.

I'm usually a size Medium, and have purchased a couple of other shorts in Medium and they are fine.Having looked at numerous reviews of the Ettore shorts I decided to get a Large size. They are just right in leg length, and provide good support around the thighs. However, the waistband is quite tight and sits very high up at the front (I don't have a big gut) and considering they are large I was quite dissapointed in this. Perhaps they will loosen up with use and washing, but the first couple of uses have proved them to be quite restrictive around the middle. Overall the quality seems good.

For the price they are as expected, good fit, comfortable and look well made. My only gripe is they need more padding in the front, ok for commuting but if you use a road bike and use the drops a lot you may find the padding inadequate.

Partner does long distance cycling and rates this product. He said it's comfortable and fits well. He goes on 50 mile cycling trips and says he can't complain about these gel padded shorts.

The pad is thick and quite stiff. It's ok when you are sitting in the saddle, but if you are out of the saddle or standing up it feels like you are wearing a nappy. The leg length is quite short. I am 6'00" and ordered Large, but the legs only come half way down my thighs.

I've had different padded bottoms but these were unbelievably comfy in comparison
