The cycling shorts are a steal at $90. The compression fabric feels great and is very light. The chamois is comfortable for all-day cycling. They fit great -- I generally wear either M or L depending on the brand, and the L size fits me perfectly.
Good Shorts, but Less Expensive Ones are Just as Good

I've worn the shorts about six times on 60 mile, day-long rides. They are comfortable, but feel about the same as a pair of Louis Garneau Gel Cycling Shorts at half the price.

They say it's a compression fabric, but not as much as my Castelli's. The leg grippers are really comfortable and that's what I was most concerned about. Too much silicone and I get welts on my legs, but these are just perfect. Really comfortable shorts to wear, but it's spring and a only short rides so far. Will report back on the chamois.
