Review on Canari Cyclewear Elite Cycle Tights by Shawn Vennakota

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good, not great, not bad. Simply good.

Probably because I'm more into padding than tights. I realize I'm not a big fan of gel, it feels stiff when compressed. Although I don't like thick foam pads either. Sleek and minimalist, but I prefer more. Seems to be finding a problem. Although Aero Tech Designs had a pair of perfect cycling shorts. Too bad they don't have the same padding in tights. Anyway, I'm 6'0" and 205 pounds. Size XL fits me perfectly, a bit long in the upper body, maybe reaching to the belly button. Not a big deal, although the size Large would probably fit me better. Me probably wouldn't wear them below 45 degrees without an extra layer. Today for a 20 mile ride in about 55 they were fine.

Pros
  • The best in their niche
Cons
  • Big and chunky
