Fine, beautiful pants

- Christine, 7 September, 2022

I am very satisfied with my Castelli Prima cycling pants. It fits perfectly and does not pinch my thighs. In addition, I like the chamois, even on the longer bike rides. The dark blue color is also very nice. I have already received several compliments on these pants.

Satisfied!

- Niki, 1 August, 2022

Before this I had a pair of pants from another (expensive) brand. This one was already frayed after 2x wears. These pants from Castelli stay cool, even after 40 km in the heat they did not fray and the chamois stayed nice and cool. Is dry almost immediately after washing. Very satisfied, just a bit on the expensive side.

Pros & Cons

Does not fester
good quality
No saddle sore
Pricey

Wonderful pants suitable for tall ladies and longer tours.

- Esther, 26 May, 2022

What a relief, these pants! As a lady of 1.80 m, I was excited to order an Italian brand, but the tension was unnecessary because the pants fit fine. On rides of >50 km, these pants help against discomfort on the buttocks. With these pants I certainly dare to do mountain rides.

Pros & Cons

Also suitable for taller ladies
Stays well in place
Suitable for longer rides

Nice cycling shorts!

- Esmee, 25 May, 2021
