No correspondence between interior and exterior sizes

The sizes of the pants do not correspond to the inner shorts. I bought the L and the exterior is very good but the interior does not fit. The XL has tight and good culottes, but the pants are huge. I'll have to keep looking.

Cycle pants

Pants as such are ok. According to the description, 4 pockets. Usable about only 2. But this is Decathlon's problem overall. They absolutely cannot design pockets. Whether it's trousers for the forest, a jacket for a polo... an acute lack of pockets.

Good resistance to brambles and comfortable. The plus: the pocket that allows you to slip in a smartphone

Old receipt !!

I would like to buy a product thinking its new and not find a receipt from a previous sale in the pocket!! Obviously they've not been washed so all manner of thoughts went through my head about cleanliness.

The underpants part is…

The underpants part is very well padded, ensuring great comfort in the saddle. On the other hand, it fits a bit just for me, but I think a size L would have been too big. This is the shorts part that I will criticize the most: the right pocket is too small to put my smartphone (Samsung S20 FE, a very common size these days) + its case easily. It still fits by pulling the fabric a little. But the most negative thing is that this pocket is certainly on the side, but at the back of the thigh rather than in front: the smartphone sometimes hits the saddle when pedaling seated and it is very unpleasant. All in all, my previous Decathlon shorts of this type (with non-removable "fake chamois" briefs) were better designed in terms of pockets, and seemed much more robust (they are still operational after more than 10 years, even if the elastics are dead. I kept the product because I wore the boxers (hygienic reasons), and also because the defects mentioned are not prohibitive. But I would not make the purchase again if I had to do it again.

Keep your gloves to hand

When mountain biking, gloves are often the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. These shorts have a buckle on the waist so you can keep hold of your gloves without having to rummage around in your pockets. You can snap your ST 100 and ST 500 gloves on them using the press stud to keep them handy at all times.
