Reviews over the

AGU Essential II

Good balance price/quality

Pros & Cons

Good value for money. Trousers are comfortable but have not yet been used outside

Pros & Cons

I think AGU underestimates their own product. These trousers are really good for the money. The chamois is definitely good for short rides but also longer ones. The fit is also very good, nowhere too tight or too loose. I find that the pant legs on these Essential II trousers are better than their more expensive trousers like the Six6 and Switch. I have more expensive trousers that are not as good as these.

Pros & Cons

Comparison size jeans vs cycling shorts is an excellent guide

Pros & Cons

Comfortable pants for short rides

Pros & Cons

Fits like a glove. Also for long rides. Small price.

Pros & Cons

First pair of trousers bought in shop but turned out to have a seam loose. Contacted and was able to exchange without any hassle. Very good service at mantle!

Pros & Cons

Fine cycling shorts also for slightly longer rides

Pros & Cons

I have used many cycling shorts from Bioracer and Kalas, but this one from AGU is the most comfortable as far as I am concerned.

Pros & Cons

I can't say anything bad about the comfort of the trousers. They fit where they should. Visually, the pants also make a good impression. The padding is not 100% accurate, you always have to help a little ;)

Pros & Cons

The quality is not very good, but good enough to cycle for a while. I find the price rather expensive for this.

Pros & Cons

...beginner's trousers ?, I think I tried on about 15 trousers ..including the more expensive ones, but this one was really the nicest. And lovely long legs that almost reach my knee, many trousers are just too short....then I will buy a boxer with chamois. It is nice and firm and much better than the much more expensive Castelli.
