Castelli Endurance 3

Purchased these trousers because I bought one with the same chamois at Mantel 2 years ago. Only disadvantage for me is that the legs slide up more quickly. I have long thighs, therefore less comfortable for me.

Pros & Cons

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 & Cons

I bought other Castelli trousers, like the Entrata. These I have in L despite having an M normally. But this Endurance 3 is really still too small in L. Of these, I really needed an XL! I am 1.82 tall and 86kg. The chamois seems even better than the KISS Air2, but I haven't worn it enough to be sure.

Pros & Cons

This is a Castelli quality product, very comfortable. However, as someone who always wears size L, I was surprised by this size XL model, which is really short in terms of the size of the straps.

Good fit, soft material fits like a 2nd skin

Pros & Cons

Pants fall small, I am 1.74 and 80 kg, the xl fits perfectly. No annoying seams in wrong places, all seams are flatlocked. Thick padding. No more saddle sores on the 180+ minute rides. Only downside is that it says made in Albania, the overall finish is of a high level !!! Very satisfied with the purchase.

Pros & Cons

Ridden two rides. Because of the better chamois they rides 3+ hours are finer.

Pros & Cons

Fits well but will need to buy a size larger as it gets a little tight on the shoulders.

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations

Pros & Cons

Castelli is fine, chamois quality is perfect. Sizing is Italian, just order one size bigger.

Pros & Cons

2nd purchase of the same pants Not satisfied then don't buy the same pants

Pros & Cons

First up my measurements: Height: 180cm, Weight: 79kg, Waist: 90cm, Hips: 95cm, Chest size: 110cm I ordered both the size L & XL. The L seemed a little on the tight side, while the XL just didn't seem tight enough and I think there would have been a possibility of pad movement or bunching on a long ride. This is one set of bibs where I was exactly between sizes so I returned both. Looking back I would probably have gotten away with the L so my advice would be to go for that size if you are the same measurements as me. PS - the Progetto 2 pad is quite thick so may take a bit of getting used to if you're not used to such luxury!

Pros & Cons

Previously Craft, since 2019 Castelli 9 two kinds) and like it well. Also the size as indicated is good.

Pros & Cons

Chamois is perfect, suspenders could be a little longer. Even bought size bigger, but still too short

Pros & Cons

Like sitting on cushions, that's how comfortable this Castelli Endurance is. The choice when I am doing a ride of 2 hours or longer. Ideal for endurance training. One downside? That comfort, it really gets used way too fast, you won't want anything else after these pants.
