According to the product specialist

Pros
Thanks to the Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad, you will enjoy a seamless contact surface that makes chafing or other skin irritation highly unlikely.
The raw-cut leg ends allow for a sleek and aerodynamic transition from fabric to skin without any annoying edges.
The shorts are suitable for use in a wide temperature range up to 35°C, and so they are an ideal choice for mild spring to the hottest summer rides.
The Espresso Doppio fabric feels very luxurious on your skin and provides constant compression that supports your muscles during heavy efforts.
Odour-reducing properties help keep the shorts fresh with frequent use, which is useful for intense workout schedules.
The breathable seat pad supports temperature regulation, making the shorts suitable for use in warm weather.
The design uses few seams to reduce the chance of developing skin irritation, which is important during endurance activities.
The wide waistband distributes pressure evenly across your waist and does not cause any uncomfortable pressure points.
The Endurance Evolution fabric provides pleasant compression, which helps to postpone or even prevent muscle fatigue.
The Progetto X2 Air Seamless seat pad has a very soft top layer that prevents skin irritation.
Due to the absence of bib straps, your upper body can move more freely, which is particularly pleasant on hot days.
To put your mind at ease, the fabric's dense knit prevents it from becoming see-through even when stretched considerably while cycling.
The bib-free design with a comfortable waistband gives you excellent freedom of movement at your upper body, which is particularly nice for rides at low intensity and in hot conditions.
The quick-drying and breathable materials help dissipate body heat to keep you dry during high-intensity activity.
Cons
The tailored close fit may feel tight at first for recreational riders.
The focus on lightweight materials makes the shorts less suitable for temperatures below 15°C.
This cycling short has no bib straps, which may feel less supportive on longer rides but does make it more comfortable in warm weather.
The lack of bib straps makes the seat pad more likely to shift a bit when cycling in a very deep position, but the shorts' snug fit minimises this effect.
As the shorts have no storage pockets, you will need to carry all your essentials in your cycling jersey to keep a sleek look.
Cycling shorts without bib straps may sag a little faster than bib shorts but the sturdy waistband largely compensates for this.
The Core cycling short does not include any striking reflective elements but the lack of these underlines its stylish and sleek look.
