I too had originally thought that 3/4 knicks were not a cycle clothing item that I would find useful but with the weather this May sometimes being too cold for shorts only one day and too hot for my Shutt winter bib tights the next and then reading the good reviews about these I thought I would give them a try. Today, on my first ride with them on, the temperature was about 12 degrees and I am happy to report that these are as good as I had hoped. My legs felt the right temperature from the start to the finish. I am 5'10 and 10 stone 5 and the medium size was the perfect fit for me, the fabric stretches just the right amount and feels pleasant next to the skin. The grey pad insert seems to work well and felt right and on the 32 miles ridden today I had no rubbing or soreness issues. Based on my experience so far I reckon that I will now be reaching for these for rides when it is not freezing cold in the middle of Winter or too hot in the middle of Summer and there are plenty of days that fall into this category. I am a convert. Very happy!

I'll be honest, I was skeptical at these. I've never pictured myself as someone to wear 3/4s but these are excellent. My initial thoughts when holding these in my hands was that the chamois was too "low profile" for me, but it is one of the most comfortable I have ever ridden. (I've used gel ones, foam, 3d, multi density) This one is up there with the best. The Roubaix fabric also felt light compared to other roubaix fabrics I've used, but these proved to insulate perfectly. Used below 5 degrees celsius without a worry. I would have liked shorter straps over the shoulder, but I do have a short body, and let it be known they work perfectly at holding everything in place whilst riding.
