Review on 🚴 Sponeed Men's 4D Padded Bicycle Pants for Road Cycling - MTB Leggings for Outdoor Cyclist Riding, Bike Wear by Phillip Ellis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Warm pants, uncomfortable suede, great customer service

I bought the fleece version in Asia M/US Small. At 5ft 7in and 135lbs they fit me perfectly. I tried them on a trip this morning in 30-30 degrees and the material kept me warm. FYI: I ride a road bike. I'm not picky about suede or fit and I have a few other Revain trousers/breeches so I don't think I have high standards per se but they were terrible even for me. m holds a section outlined by the seams and represents an extension of the suede. However, this is not padding, just a thick piece of fabric that awkwardly strays forward and offers nothing useful. Advantage. The suede itself is a very thick foam and not very flexible, so it doesn't easily conform to the rider or the seat. Because of the stiffness, when she stands up, she wants to return to a flat position and lie awkwardly between your legs, rather than staying in shape. without even being under my sit bones. In fact, all of the material gathers right under my midsection and not under my sit bones at all. I'm disappointed because this material is great for cold weather, but I've spent so much time fiddling with it on my trip that I didn't like it at all. my measurements to make a new pair to hopefully fix the issues I was having with the pants. They were great to work with and I did not expect this level of customer service. I'll update the stars once I get the new pants in a couple of weeks to see if the padding issues have actually been fixed. Edit #2: I received the custom made pants and they are significantly better than the first pair. Now the suede actually sits under my butt, although it still moves awkwardly when you stand and pedal. As soon as I tried them on I had a feeling something was wrong so I took them off to inspect and the suede is off center. Images with red dashes are the updated pair. I have raised my rating to 3 stars. They have great customer service but the product is not 5 stars.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
