Very comfortable and great breath-ability. They actually look pretty cool to, which is a bonus. I got the ginger because that is all that was left on Bonktown. My only advice there is to get some white shorts for under because the pants are a bit see through in white. Very good value, very comfortable, and seem pretty durable. I would recommend these to anyone that is starting to bike or a serious biker. I'm not super experienced with bike shorts but I feel no discomfort after riding 30, 40 or more miles. I've done about 500 miles in them and still seem great. Saved my back side!
