Review on ๐Ÿšด Women's Windproof Cycling Pants with 4D Padded Fleece Lined Leggings by Santic by Joshua Sharma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit and cushioning when riding in 30 degree weather

I wore them at 4:30am this morning for a quick 20 mile ride. It was chilly, 30 degrees below zero, and part of my journey is along the sea - cold sea air. There's nothing like starting the day jumping out of a warm bed and into some cycling gear to train in cold weather... It's invigorating! HOW DID THESE LEGGINGS PERFORM IN COLD WEATHER? These fleece lined leggings were awesome! My feet were warm the whole time. I could feel a slightly cooler temperature on my thighs as I turned the knobs, but that's to be expected. Finally, at the top end of the crank cycle, the material expands, but it wasn't cold, just a slightly cooler temperature. COMFORT I'm pretty picky because I spend a lot of time in the saddle; several thousand kilometers a year on trails and roads. The padding is perfect; it covered my sit bones and there was enough padding in the front. These fleece leggings are suitable for rides over 20 km in cool temperatures. Some people might think that extremely thick padding is key, but I'd argue that's not always the case. The same goes for saddles, just because a saddle has a lot of padding and not a saddle with little padding doesn't mean it's going to be great. It really comes down to personal preference due to human anatomy and what fits. The leg length is great but the waist could be a bit higher. I felt a small cool breeze on my waist. However, I have to consider that my thermal jacket was tucked into my pants to reduce the cool draft and this is where my jacket overlapped. So that little draft is probably due to my jacket not fitting fully, not the leggings themselves. SIZE CHART If I went by the size chart I'd be wrong. Plus, the fit ratings were everywhere too. It makes me think of the production; Are there two manufacturers that make a size difference? So I ordered Medium, Large and X-Large. X-Large was too big. The large was comfortable but I ended up keeping the medium one because it fit a bit better and after today's ride I'm glad I kept the medium one. For the record, I'm very athletic at 5ft 7in. and weight 167. CONCLUSION These fleece leggings kept my feet warm in 30 degree weather. The padding is perfect as it covers my sit bones and has adequate padding in the front. These fleece leggings are suitable for rides over 20 km in cool temperatures. In addition, the fit is great too. Finally the size table. I'm not sure what to say about the sizes. These are my first Santic leggings. If you're at the limit, try a size up or down, or do like me and try all three sizes and stick with what works best for you. ****** Please let me know if this review was helpful by clicking the helpful button below. ***** THANKS!
