Review on XGC Underwear High Elasticity Breathable Black_Black Sports & Fitness for Cycling by Shane Palma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for the money: tights, pants and shorts

Bought these as entry level cycling shorts, didn't want to pay $90 for some at the local bike shop. The padding is great and really helps on longer rides as I progress in ride time. The biggest point of criticism is the different degree of stretching. The pants dig through the combination of a tight hem and mesh panels that are sketchier than neighboring fabrics. It's annoying, but not a deal breaker. Similarly, the band at the wrist is tighter than the rest of the fabric structure above, creating a lower pocket situation. Not flattering, but I'm blushing and sweaty, so I know I'm not going to be cute anyway! I ordered sweatpants in my normal size and maybe going up the size doesn't have these issues, but I think some shorts might be baggy. They do what I need and they're good for the price.
