Bought some of these from CRC as I fancied trying something a bit lighter. Went for large initially as my legs are like mighty oaks even though I'm not a big guy.

They felt a bit tight so I ordered the XL (the biggest available), which feel a lot better, but when I bend my legs the top elastic seems to dig into my thighs a bit.

Anyone else got them and how;d you find them in use? I dunno if they may stretch a bit and perhaps they don't even dig in during pedaling action?

Took mines 3/4 rides before they stretched to my leg shape. Now I wouldn't know I have them on.

I’m medium. They bed in as you wear them and I think they’re the most comfortable you can get.  Stick with them.  Giving them a wash might help.

Thanks for that, I'll give them a chance then.

They do feel like they'll be quite comfy.

Did a few hours in them today, you were right - very comfortable indeed.

Do you guys take the pads out for washing? Seems a bit awkward to get them out of the material bit.
