According to the product specialist
Pros
The Pro Dry Soft fabric has a high breathability, which makes the pants feel cool to the skin. |
The garment has an anatomical design for a nice fit. |
The mesh suspenders take the meaning of breathability to a higher level. |
The reflective elements increase visibility in dark conditions. |
The KISS Air2 chamois guarantees long rides without saddle sore. |
The C3 Infinity padding provides comfort on medium-distance rides. |
The Craft Essence W is sustainable due to the use of recycled polyamide. |
The chamois quickly wicks away sweat, leaving you dry and preventing chafing. |
Thanks to the elastic grippers, the trouser legs do not move up. |
The Endurance Evolution fabric provides a snug fit and compression. |
The mesh bib straps keep the short perfectly in place and increase its breathability. |
The leg ends have silicone strips to stay well in place as well. |
The KISS Air2 chamois guarantees long bike rides without saddle pain. |
Cons
Not as aerodynamic as the higher-segment Castelli pants. |
The C3 Infinity chamois does not provide sufficient comfort during long and high-intensity rides. |
The bib straps may feel a bit tight around the shoulders. |
Please note that the fabric on the back may become slightly transparent when you're in the cycling position. |
