These are basically yoga leggings with a bike pad. Very comfortable. I wanted them for spring and fall days that are just a bit too cool for shorts. I am petite 5' tall and weigh 101. The calves are a little baggy making them not look as sleek on me. I'm sure they'd fit a "normal" person. The Castelli chamois is great as always, but otherwise these are not that technical of a pant and for that reason seem a bit overpriced.
