Review on 🚴 Endurance 3 Bibshort for Road and Gravel Biking by Castelli Cycling by David Perez

Castelli Premium Cycling Gear BUT the size distorts reality terribly

So here's the thing. I wanted a set of these to solve sit bone issues I was having with my other low quality suede and spandex shorts. The upside of Castelli is that the workmanship and their suede are amazing. The edge seam of the leg ends is also excellent. The problem is the SIZE - (compared to most US athletic apparel companies) XL equals M2xL equals Large3xL equals XL now I'm a tall guy - weigh about 250 and 6'1" - my waist is 40" and the inseam is about 32" - following your instructions, 2XL should have sufficed. LOL - yes, um NO - and there wasn't a 3xL either - thought I could leave them and try them on the trip but for $170 - the last thing I wanted to do was try them out and realize I couldn't use them after the first trip out of convenience and then not be able to get them back - because, um, who has $170 to get them to throw in the trash? the highest quality I've ever seen (as well as the stitching), but alas, unless you have 10-15% body fat, a waist under 38 inches and skinny legs - forget it. If me now someone could make a solid and tell me who shorts for awake se makes a US size of this quality that would actually fit me - gosh I would really appreciate the dinner - such a shame on Castelli.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • No instructions
