Bought these for my husband who road bikes 30-40 miles on the weekends, as the weather is getting cooler where we live and he wanted to extend his cycling season. He states he very much likes these pants- padding is very comfortable, the fabric feels nice with the right amount of stretch and they go to his ankles(6' tall). The temperature management meets his needs- not too hot and not too cold, worn in temps in the low 50's (Farenheit) and he is not noticing perspiration. They wash well and line dry fairly quickly. This would be his first pair of cycling pants so he's got nothing to compare to, but feels they are a good quality and value for the price.
