Castelli Women's Prima Triathlon/Cycling Short

I love these cycling shorts so much that I just ordered a 2nd pair. So far I've done 2 2.5-ish hour outdoor rides and 1 1-hour indoor ride in them and they felt great right off the bat. The padding is the perfect thickness/feel and in the Texas heat where I ride, I don't feel like I have on a soggy (and saggy) wet diaper afterwards. I really prefer the full surround leg grippers on these compared to the little grippy dots on another of my cycling shorts. The fabric on the front thigh area is thinner than my other cycling shorts but not in a see-through way. I actually prefer it for cooling purposes. My husband rode behind me for a bit and said the 2 stripes in the back were very visible and reflective as well. I'm 5'8" tall, 123 lbs., 35" hips, 27" waist and got size S, and they fit perfectly. They look incredibly tiny and you'll think they won't fit but somehow they do! They're compressive without you feeling like you're squished/sausage-like.
