Review on 🚴 Santic Men's Mountain Bike Shorts - Loose-Fit Padded Cycling MTB Shorts by Brandon Plowden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What a RIP! for special sportswear

Shorts felt comfortable when tried on. I ordered 2 sizes larger than usual as other reviewers recommended. However, after trying it on and checking it, I noticed that my black leg inserts were torn on both sides on the outside of the knees. I didn't even leave the living room after wearing this stuff! It appears that the black inserts are made of very cheap quality fabric that practically turns into threads when stretched or ripped. No ripstop material here! Save money and buy a proven product. Here's what I learned from it. They were delivered today and will be returned tomorrow. UPDATE - June 10th, 2016 Santik was very generous and contacted me about the ripped shorts I received. They wanted to fix everything and try to restore my confidence in their product. I was sent a replacement pair of pants and have ridden 4 times with no problems. The shorts are comfortable and the padding is just enough for trail and asphalt rides. I haven't seen any signs of tearing or wear on this pair so I hope they hold up! I wanted to point out that customer service was very polite and generous in sending me another pair of shorts after I had already received my money back. I have raised my rating from 1 star to 4. It's nice to know that a company stands behind its product.

Pros
  • High test results for support and durability
Cons
