These have been my main shorts for probably over a decade and three design changes now. If I'm doing anything over 60-70 miles there is zero chance I'm wearing anything else. While I wouldn't pay full price for them, they go on sale for 1/2 price several times a year, and that makes them the best value shorts I know of. That said, these are not for everyone. As many reviews mention, the legs are extremely short and that is compounded by the lack of leg grippers, so if you have long skinny legs I would recommend looking elsewhere. The latest generation is also a bit smaller, so if you're borderline you may want to go with the larger size.
These are great shorts, as usual up to the high standards expected of Castelli products.
The padding is very well designed offering very high comfort levels on longer rides or frequent daily use.
This design of shorts is great for hot summer days as the material appears to perform well in the heat and the low cut front design gives maximun airflow to the front of the rider.
Well worth giving these a try, once you do you will be hooked.
I'm 5'11 185 ish, I wear Lrg in the Pro Bibs. I wanted regular bike shorts to wear on my indoor trainer.. After reading the reviews on the Attack shorts I felt like I should order them in XL... That was a mistake. They're not so big that I can't wear them but they certainly don't fit as snug as I prefer. Perhaps those people saying how small they run might not be as familiar with PI'S fit. Long story short. if u wear lrg in PI bibs get lrg in the Attack shorts. and for cross brand frame of reference I wear XL bibs from Castelli & Assos. Hope this is useful
The Kask Protone Icon is an incredibly nice, terrific-fitting helmet. The fit mechanism is simple, effective, and highly adjustable. I love the chin strap which is not made of the typical weave, it is more of a leatherette material which doesn't get saturated with sweat during a long ride. Super lightweight and great cooling airflow. I love every bit of it. Only drawback is it doesn't use MIPS, but it is still a very good performer in testing. Highly recommended. Worth the price paid. I got the dark blue version and its absolutely stunning.
