Posh pants for the discerning gentleman
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, Bulky
"I bought these for my other half. He's not cycled for a while and I was worried about him getting saddle sore.
All padded pants look hilarious and he laughed his head off when he tried them on but, despite him have thighs like tree trunks, they were a good fit and he said the fabric felt cool and comfy. He's still getting used to them but they were a good purchase.
My only real issue is the price, as paying so much for pants seems ridiculous. That being said, the price is not unduly high when compared to similar products."

Comfortable and cheap
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"I have tried so many pieces of clothing to find the ultimate comfort on the bike, and this reasonably-priced pair of briefs is the best. I haven't got on with lycra gear and I also like to choose what shorts or trousers I have on over these so they are my #1 choice for long rides."

Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight
"Apart from looking like a toddler froma pampers advert, these are actually a good buy. They reduce pressure on your sit bones considerably."

Great Value
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"These padded briefs are excellent value for money and are hard wearing.
The material allows for a good snug fit, so no problems with chaffing seams in awkward places.
When worn with the correct combination of saddle, you can cycle all day without any worries about discomfort."

Spot on!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality
Cons: Limited Color Choices, Unattractive
"Padding works well, you forget your wearing them after a while. Don't smell too bad after a weeks commuting! Not very pretty but then I don't intend flashing them to anyone!
Does exactly what you want them to do."

Flexibility in leg wear
Pros: Comfortable, Great Value, Versatile
"I ordered these briefs as I had outgrown my Pearl Izumi MTB shorts and wanted to be able to wear trousers in the winter. The quality is pretty good, though they could probably do with a higher waist at the back. The fit seems a bit weird at first but they are pretty comfortable when they are in use. My only criticism is that they are a bit baggy round the front of crotch: but then I suppose some people need more room here! In short it did what it said on the packet, for a good price, and solved my problem."

nappy with my purchase
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit
Cons: Bulky, Limited Color Choices, Unattractive
"If, like me, you're worried about the sizing, buying a size down works well. I take a L in calvins/boxers and a M fits perfectly.
They feel a bit like a nappy at first (not that I've worn one in quite a few years), but that's soon forgotten when you realise you can still feel your nether regions many miles into a ride.
The actual padding inside is white. Insert your own fears / anticpiated problem here.
But overall they do exactly what they say on the tin."

Not as good as the DHB equivalent
Cons: Bulky, Poor Fit
"Bought size M, am c.33-34" waist; I read the comments about sizing down, but they had no size S in stock, and I've tried other Endura clothes and M has fitted fine.
Principally bought to wear under smart / suit trousers for commuting, the fit initially felt fine and adequately close-fitting. However, in use the material stretched and after 10mins riding they were twisted and uncomfortable.
Also, the pad feels very large and cardboard-like compared to my other undershorts.
Have used them on longer commuter rides and under MTB shorts, with the same results.
They look quite well made, and the pad has kept its shape and support after a few washes, so I've given them to my bigger brother.
I bought the dhb equivalents at the same time, and even if these Endura had fitted OK, I personally find the dhb ones are a softer material, a better fit, and the pad is far less obtrusive."

Padding quite wide
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight
Cons: Poor Fit
"The advice to choose one size down was good; I did so and the waist and thigh sizes were correct. Unfortunately, the padding in these was very wide, to the extent that I experienced some initial chafing on my inner thighs. Hopefully they will wear in somewhat."

Pros: High Quality

Comfort
Pros: Comfortable, Versatile
"If you don't want to cycle in leg hugging lycra shorts, bibs or longs (with their integral padding) these go very nicely under more 'normal' shorts, making riding just as comfortable, if not as athletic looking."

Comfy
"I have three of these and they're great. Good amount of padding, durable and comfy. Have gone through the commute & wash cycle for months and work great. Just bear in mind the comment re: sizing as size down - I'm a 32" waist and have size 'S' and they're perfect."

Decent Undershorts.
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Versatile
"I tried these out to help me on longer rides, and they did the job nicely.
They fit well, and the pad stays firmly in place. They also seem nicely concealed under trousers/shorts despite the feeling that they are a little bulky.
My only minor complaints are that they ride up my legs a little, and I'm not sure white is the best of colours for the protective pad."

Great pants!
"These are great pants. I found the fit a bit odd initially even though I ordered the size down as recommended. The chamois is large and I guess takes a while to get to your shape. But the pants do what they need to from the first use and feel great when you're riding even if they feel a little odd when you're not. I've washed them and used them for a few rides in now; about 100 miles; and the fit has got a lot better. I have recommend these to a friend and I'm going to buy another pair."
