Poor chamois position
3Had these a year now and have only worn a few times. Originally purchased for my longer rides but now relegated to short rides only. Chamois is so far back I get virtually no perineum protection and much discomfort with my prize possessions. I would not recommend or buy this brand again. Not returnable because of hygiene policy.

Nice Shorts
4Very good pad & leg grippers. Sized up to L, fit is perfect. I will purchase again when I need shorts.

Underwhelming
3This is my first Castelli bib shorts (but not the first Castelli product I own). Personally, based on my first test ride on an indoor trainer, I'm disappointed and underwhelmed given the hype. I own Santini, Ale, PBK and a couple of not-well-known-cheap-brand cycling shorts. But only this Castelli short gave me discomfort (specifically chafing in the family jewels area) on my first test ride. So obviously not a good first impression. Also, I find the material and design don't quite live up to the relatively high suggested retail price this item command. Maybe in terms of performance, it delivers and impresses (time will tell) but as a first impression, I'm not impressed. When comparing Italian brands, Santini's material, craftsmanship and attention to details (material and size of the tags, for instance; the Castelli's are annoyingly large and brittle) are head and shoulder above these -- Santini feels more premium. (Same impression when comparing the jerseys.) And Santini's are actually made in Italy while this is made is Bosnia. Ironically, these Castelli shorts in size S actually fits much smaller than even a Santini XS! Hope long-term performance of these shorts will change my mind but for now, it's "meh".

Quality bib shorts with a very comfy pad!
5I looked at options from Assos, Rapha and other Castelli shorts before buying these Endurance 2 shorts. The other reviews really helped and the Endurance 2 shorts had a Winter discount on them so i ordered my usual size plus one. (Keeping with the Castelli size small routine) Very nice shorts to look at and wear. Very comfortable pad on the bike and they sit really well on the legs. The bibs can feel a little tight around the shoulders which is probably down to the italian sizing but once i had got on the bike and adjusted them a little, i never noticed them again. I'd definitely recommend these shorts. I can't really tell what more expensive options even from Castelli will add to be honest. If they are in your size then just order them and enjoy some comfort on the bike.

Cold comfort
5These things are everything they professed to be including not very warm. Will be better, no doubt, after Winter. Take the good advice on offer and buy oversized. I bought XL, which is a perfect fit. I am 180 cm and 75 kg.

Good quality and comfy
5You get the quality you expect from Castelli and with the discount, the price was good too. Only been on one ride with them so far at 75m and they were really comfy throughout.

Top quality bib shorts
5This bib shorts are awesome. Amazing pad that provides comfort on very long rides, on long climbes... I'm 195 cm and 85 kg rider and usually wear L bib shorts. Using Castelli size chart i get to choose size L, but after much reading on forums i decided to go not one but two sizes up, chose XXL because not so stretchy straps and i did good. It's almost perfect fit for me. I would like that straps are bit more elastic but it's ok. When I'm on the bike bibs stay perfect and they are very comfortable.

wrapped in cottonwool
4Straight up, buy black ones. The steel blue is not pretty and when wet, they look even worse. They are, however, extremely comfortable. Not as good as the Aero Race 4 shorts, but a close second. The chamois (seat pad) will keep you comfortable all day and aside from the colour, I cannot find anything to fault them.
