“My first pair of padded leggings and won't be my last. I've always put off buying specialist cycling clothing as I could never justify the price against the time spent in the saddle but after a couple of longer (for me) rides in the current hot weather and not being particularly comfortable in my normal outdoor clothing I decided to go for it.
I am only 5'2" so, as anticipated, these are a bit longer on me and the waist sits above my natural waist. Although I purchased the size 1 this is also down to me being particularly curvy (having a small waist and a high hip to knee ratio) and is normal for me with jeans and leggings. They are however very sweat wicking so were still comfortable. The seat pad definitely made a difference, and is quite discrete (not bulky or misshapen) looking when off the saddle. Overall these are very flattering and I'm glad I took the risk on them. :-)”
