Smart purchase
Very satisfied with these trousers (and have had several from other brands). Price/quality very good!

Inexpensive cycling shorts that unfortunately disappoint
After two rides of 30 and 50 kilometres, these trousers are unfortunately very disappointing. The fabric is very slippery, which sometimes literally makes you almost slide off your saddle. I also do not like the chamois. Very thin and it starts to irritate after a fairly short time. The seams around the chamois also cause irritation. So for me, unfortunately, these trousers do not live up to expectations.

Super chamois!
Size M at 186cm and 78kg. Length is good, so no "long" shorts. Chamois is really super good. I do have a little doubt that my legs are not too tight, when I sit it looks a bit like a roll. These are my 1st real cycling shorts so maybe I'm just still a bit unsure about tight fitting cycling clothes. In the end, it's just a super nice pair of shorts that I can effortlessly do rides of around 200km with.

just fine
I have jeans size 33 and these cycling pants in size L, they fit perfectly. I even bought another one because it is so nice. I cycle regularly for 3 hours or more. The suspenders are a little longer so it doesn't pinch the shoulders.

Fine pants
I've had the pants on a few times now, but am thinking about buying another one soon

best buy
I ordered this in size L and I am 182cm and 80cm inseam. It fits like a glove. It is very comfortable and I cycle long distances with it regularly (>3h at a time). No problems with seams or chafing. I once had a Castelli Entrata but the shoulder straps were too short for me (size XL). These pants are a better buy and I would buy again next time.

Fine trousers for rides up to 2 hours
Purchased because another pair of Calobra trousers (the 'Cabo Negro', unfortunately no longer available) really liked them, both in terms of fit and chamois. I had hoped the Eclipse would be comparable (about the same price), but in practice I like the Eclipse just a little less. Where I would give the Cabo Negro a 9, I come to a 7.5 for the Eclipse. Fine for a one-and-a-half, two-hour drive. Above that, I notice irritation in the groin, and opt for another pair of trousers anyway.

Great trousers for the money
After my first rides, no problems with the trousers, just fantastic.

Great trousers, also for long trips
Cycled some longer rides on it, the longest being over 160km: No problems with saddle sores. So the chamois is definitely of good quality. For me, the braces are a bit loose when put on, but in cycling position they fall well and feel comfortable. Fit around the legs is fine and the grip does its job well. Was very positively surprised.
