Reviews over the

Castelli Espresso W DT

Chamois is very fine, also compatible with longer trips. Do buy a size bigger with Castelli than you are used to. I am normally a size xs-s, but really need an M here.

I have tried different cycling shorts in the meantime, but long rides I prefer cycling with the X2 Chamois (100-250km).

Pros & Cons

The trousers have a very chic look, thanks to the deep black colour. The material feels soft and comfortable. The braces do not pinch and the trousers sit high enough in terms of waist. In terms of chamois, I like to compare it to my other Assos trousers; the chamois is also very pleasant. It is slightly thicker, but narrower compared to Assos. I enjoy these cycling trousers a lot, although it is a slightly thinner fabric (it doesn't shine through), but I use these trousers especially when it is warmer. Spring/summer period. I myself am 1.72 and fluctuate between 65-70kg and wear size medium.

Pros & Cons

Soft fabric that fits nicely to the skin. Most important for me a wonderfully comfortable supple chamois. Information from seller is correct. Highly recommended.
