Castelli Endurance 3 Bib Short

Opzich fine trousers but.....

Great trousers, fabric is slightly thicker than other entry-level Castelli trousers I have and offers pleasant support. Wide elastic pieces keep the legs well in place. Trousers do fall small, normally I am a size M, with Castelli L but these trousers even had to be XL. For reference, I am 1.88m and 86kg, I can fit M just over my knees, L is uncomfortably tight and XL just comfortably tight. The chamois is a lot thicker than the Kiss Air, which is fine but it takes a lot of getting used to. There also seems to be an edge between the middle part and the surrounding part (outside the black border) which sometimes irritates me.

Pros
  • Slightly firm fabric
  • Subtle branding
  • Wide 'elastic band at legs sits nicely
Cons
  • Edge in chamois
  • Falls small
