I am really pleased with these shorts, i find them more comfortable than a more expensive pair from Assos. There are no leg grippers but the contrasting lycra at the bottom of the leg replaces the need for grippers. The fit is generous, i went for a medium but might have squeezed into a small - the fit is still excellent. Chamois is very confortable without being bulky - Recommended

I have come to expect nothing but the best from Etxeondo. I ordered these and no surprises! Etxeondo chamois' are the best money can buy and the fit is absolutely awesome. I will recommend these to absolutely everybody. At the price of the Dicolor, nothing can compare...

Extremely well fitting shorts. The chamois pad is also one of the most comfortable pads I have sat my bottom on. I would recommend it to anyone. The sizing guide is pretty spot.

These shorts are stylish, super comfortable and excellent value. First outing was a 140km ride and I had no problems or soreness whatsoever. As good, if not better than Assoss and far better value. Love the white trim and would whole heartedly recommend these shorts - may just have to but another pair!

Stylish looking shorts, seem well made and that chamois makes for a very comfortable ride. Size wise the medium is similar to Sugoi and a bit more snug than Assos. Very good value.

Spotted these and liked the design. As swift as always riding, the package arrived. Ripped the packaging and slipped the shorts on. I can only say WOW, what a product. They fit like a glove, look fabulous and for the price they are unbeatable. I liked them so much that I wanted to get a red pair as well. Alas, need to wait until next week for more stock to arrive. I think that these shorts with a choice of four colours should make an absolute best seller!

I use Assos for road riding as my road saddle is a liitle thin...

 

For Mtb I use Giordana which is half the price and extremely comfortable on my gobi saddle..

 

Firstly one mtb ride/race and you rip the Assos equals expensive outing.Very possible due to the nature of the sport! In my opinion if you are a roadie worth it but if MTB look at other decent brands at half the price.

chris_w_65, There is no truth in your previous remark regarding eyecandy.

 

Itys not true...Unless you put a picture on the hub as proof of your statement.

 

Till than, assos sucks.

If you do 100km rides every weekend, lasting 3 hours, its not worth it. If you do the Epic , Sabi, Sanie, Jannie LOL , and other tours, then they are from what I've heard. Otherwise, on Ironman I used Capestorm Nitros, no problems.
