Top company
I had ordered the trousers 1 size too small and the exchange to 1 size bigger was logical, smooth and quick. Very customer-friendly

Best price-quality bib that I have.
A lovely BIB with a super chamois for long and short rides. In my opinion, the cheapest Castelli with this super chamois. The size jeans and suggested size match perfectly. The fit is super.

Top product, and super fast service from Mantel
Beautiful cycling shorts of a top quality, please note when buying that you buy one size bigger than your pant size. Castelli falls a bit small

Fine trousers
According to size chart, I should have an L. The width of my jeans is 31a32. I went for an xl and it fits really well. I feel the L is too tight. Clothes too tight the stretch goes out too. Time will tell

Good shorts for the money (when on sale).
Good fit. Good enough front protection (a bit on the small side but that seems to be an issue with Castelli).

Solid and quality trousers for somewhat longer (gravel) rides.
Ordered these trousers based on reviews and product info plus videos on the internet. Mantel had these trousers in stock and at a competitive price. The ordering procedure went as usual: flawless and fast. Ordered in the evening, delivered the next day and went for a ride that same evening. First impressions are good: fine fabric and barely visible seams. Nice lining on the inside so the trouser legs do not creep. I had my reservations about the chamois because it feels less thick and soft than my previous Bioracer bib shorts. The fear proved unjustified. It is a bit tougher and flatter but therefore for me more suitable for longer rides on a gravel bike. No chafing and suppleness trumps. The only downside are the (not very wide) braces. They could have been wider to keep things in place. All in all, a top product that feels good and underlines Castelli's quality. Do choose at least one size bigger than usual!

Good cycling pants
These are fine cycling pants that fit tightly around the body. Do buy two sizes larger than normal because of the Italian sizing.

Quality, a pleasure to put on, and ....the Mantel service is impeccable.
A little "tight" at first, but easy to get used to.

Great comfortable cycling pants for excellent price
Over 8 years ago (or longer even) bought an Assos. Expensive, but very good. Now I needed a new one. I'm a lot less fanatical and a bit older, so I didn't need to buy such an expensive one. I like the pants. Very comfortable. Very tight, I like it. No creeping up and no nasty rub marks in groin or elsewhere.

I was looking for a new cycling pants for the elfstedentocht 2022 ( 235km) Afterwards the trip turned out to be hell in terms of weather, but because of these castelli cycling pants I finished it comfortably!!! Highly recommended.

Comfortable pants for long rides
Previously always worn loose clothing for mountain biking but have tried some tighter clothing. After first use this is definitely my preference. I bought the set with shirt and it fits perfectly. Comfortable pants with a good chamois for long bike rides. The fabric is also of good flexible quality and breathes well, definitely recommended!

Top pants!
Fits perfectly, good grip on the legs! Top product.
Pros & Cons

Perfect pants for every ride
Comfortable pants for training, racing and touring. Tight cut provides pleasant compression, but your thighs and buttocks have to adjust to it for the first 5 minutes every ride. After that, you won't feel you have it on and won't want anything else. Chamois guarantees hours of cycling, whether cruising or racing. Warm enough in spring and fall with leg warmers.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Top pants! Nothing more, nothing less.
For this price, you should expect something from a pair of cycling pants and these pants are well worth their pennies! Put on and don't look back. For a moment I had the feeling I had bought pants that were too small, but Mantel's size chart turned out to be very accurate. Buying even more expensive pants is a waste of money and buying cheaper pants is a waste of both your behind and the money. (and the rest...)

Fine pants, well worth the money!
Had already read many good comments but so these are also true. Cycled 103km with the Langstraat classic. No saddle sores.

Cushion Top
The best cushion I've had so far. The firm cushion is enormously comfortable - even with over 100km tours. To mention: At 194 height and 84kg I need size 3XL so that the straps are long enough.

Well worth the money
Bought these cycling shorts for a multi-day trip cycling. I only had short Decathlon cycling shorts but for the long distances I wanted one that had a better chamois and stayed on better. This was the perfect choice for that. I hesitated for a long time whether I wanted to spend that much money for a pair of pants, but where all my cycling buddies suffered from saddle sores, I was still comfortable on my bike. The suspenders also hold the pants well in place but are also not so tight that it hurts the shoulders. Only a small pocket in one of the legs would have made it absolutely fantastic for me, but still, these pants are well worth the money. With a narrow build, height of 187cm and weight of 75kg, size L fit me perfectly.

Well worth the money.
Wonderful bibshort, bought for longer rides on the gravel bike. After 4.5 hours of bouncing over the sandy paths of the Achterhoek, no saddle sores at all. Pants fit like a glove, anti-slip is top! The gray color is super!

Excellent shorts
Nice bib shorts. I am 1.84 and 70 kilos. After much doubt (Castelli size charts are always tricky) I went for L and it fits perfectly. Suspenders pull a bit when standing up but once in riding position you don't notice this. Chamois is always very personal but I really like it.

Top product for a "low" price
Great product which fits well, first ride was 200 km (bought before that) and this was top

5 / 5
Wonderfully comfortable pants, worth its price.
Great pants, good chamois. Have a size M in most pants and now with these too. In jeans I usually have a size 30 width, weight 70 kg and 1.78 m. However, my previous Castelli was size L and somewhat on the roomy side. I also tried on the L and it creased a bit. My advice is buy bike pants in the store and not over the internet unless you are sure of your size. You can compare different models and sizes directly. Can't say anything about durability yet.

Rather pay a little more for quality!
Castelli is certainly not cheap, but price-quality ratio is right.

Very nice pants and fits nicely. Clings well to the legs. Chamois is still comfortable on longer rides. (100+) Definitely meets expectations Castelli falls small so ordered one size larger than normal

perfect
a real Catelli. Choose 2 sizes larger than normal, but then it fits. fits well to sticky edges remain and nowhere too tight. The chamois is comfortable and provides a lot of cushioning (in addition to the other function of a chamois :-) ).

Worth money 100%
After cycling in el-cheapo pants for quite some time, I bought this Castelli. From the first moment I had a good feeling about the pants, the chamois is great and longer rides go without irritating the saddle! For me 1.86 and 79kg the L fits perfectly.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Super nice cycling pants!
Mn first Castelli pants and I must say I am very happy with them! I'm a tall and skinny person (1m86 at 69kg) and some cycling pants are not so good for me in terms of fit: if the length is good then some pants are too roomy, and if I have a nice tight fit then in terms of length size again it's not right for my longer body. This Castelli does not bother me at all. It fits like a glove! The chamois is great; my first ride with it was 100km and I liked it immediately. In addition, the pants are made of fine fabric and everything stays in place.

Fantastic bibshorts at a great price
Usual high quality bibshorts from Castelli. I'm generally a Medium in size but always go one size up when buying Castelli so opted for Large. They fit extremely well and are very comfortable to wear even on long rides (5 hrs+). Would have no hesitation buying another pair especially at this price!

close friction free comfort,always looks neat
most important a well designed pad that stays in place even when the going is bumpy,combination of specific materials that breath stretch and dispel moisture help to maintain comfort level,even when external climate changes.
