Fits Well, Very Comfortable
These biking tights fit quite well and feel very comfortable for longer rides. They're lightweight and easy to get into and out of. The padding in the buttocks area is well suited for most riders to keep things cushioned well. I like the colors and designs on the tights; they look cool and allow drivers to see you better at night. The tights kept me quite warm throughout my ride and the overall build quality is pretty good. Repetitious use is usually the downfall of most tights and these have held up well. Overall, great product.

I absolutely love these pants!
These full-length riding pants are the best!I've got two pairs of the Sponeed riding shorts, and have now added two pairs of the full-length riding pants to that list. When they go on sale again, I'll be adding at least another two pairs.As for sizing: I'm 6'4", 213lbs with a 34" inseam and 38" waist. I ordered the XXXL, and they fit perfectly.I do have to add one negative, though. The reviews I've read that say the padding is incorrectly placed, may not be wrong. When I ride my recumbent bikes, I have no issues with these pants, but when I ride my Trek road bike, the padding tends to bunch up at the back of the seat a little. It's nothing I can't deal with, but I did notice it on my last ride.Since I ride my recumbent bikes more than my Trek, I'm not going to worry about it.Overall these are great riding pants.

They do the job, and aren't really uncomfortable
I'm 6'2, 150lbs, with long limbs and an athletic build. I generally wear size 32x32 or 32x34 pants and these fit me well.I bought these because I ride a hard tail mountain bike, and I ride pretty hard over rough terrain, and at the beginning of the year or after a longer ride than usual, my rear can get pretty sore and bruised up because of the seat. The butt pads definitely help with that, although they're a bit awkward to feel when your walking around. They should be broken in by now.I've wrecked 3 times wearing these and they have not torn, not have they ripped from snagging on thorn bushes that reach out into the trails.As far as keeping me warm, I don't need to add a layer down to about 40°F, and they're breathable enough to wear up to about 65°F

Light weight yet keeps me warm on chilly days
Super comfortable. Light weight yet keeps me warm on chilly days. I used these on a 35 degree day - I was chilly at first, but quickly warmed up and they worked perfect.

Run small but great pants
These are great biking pants. They don’t ride up and are very breathable and comfortable. I recommend them and will buy again. I have fleece lined as well as normal biking pants. They run a little small, but customer service is very good at replacing a too his, or too small pair. Good value. Good quality.

Disappointed, but optimistic...
When the lingering summer warmth suddenly gave way to more seasonal October chill, I was dismayed to find that my cool weather riding tights, which had been packed away for the last six months, were nowhere to be found. I ride year-round, logging 2500-300 miles annually, mainly through a 20 mile commute to work several times a week. With no bike shop nearby, I turned to Amazon Prime to get my out of my "tight bind."BOTTOM LINE: While the price point is excellent, and they seem reasonably well constructed, I had several issues that will prevent me from buying more or recommending them to others. I still gave them two stars because the price and quality was good, and my issues mainly deal with fit. I am a reasonably proportioned 5'10" adult male that doesn't usually have fit issues; nevertheless, others may find the fit to be perfect for them.Let me go into specific detail for my rating:ISSUE #1: BELL BOTTOMS?! When the Amazon box arrived, I tried the tights on. While the waist and thighs seemed a bit snug, it wasn't so bad as to warrant a larger size, and I figured a day of riding would form them to my specific physique. However, when I suited up for an actual ride this morning, I was surprised at how loose the ankles were when I zipped them up. The inside of the cuff has a gummy material designed to prevent the pant from riding up. However, there was so much fabric that the pant didn't actually grab my ankle. How this manifested on my ride was that during the downhill runs, I got a chilly draft on the lower six inches of my leg. Since these are cool weather tights, not cold weather ones (it was 50 this morning), this is not a catastrophic flaw. However, I thought it was an idiosyncrasy worth mentioning.ISSUE #2: SKINNY KNEES. As my ride progressed, I found the material bunching uncomfortably at the back of my knees. While this provided merely a petty annoyance on my 20 mile ride, I imagine it could become more of an issue on a longer haul where chafing could result.ISSUE #3: POOR CHAMOIS PLACEMENT. This was the deal breaker for me. I found the chamois padding to be way too forward in the tights. As a result, when I rode, much of the padding was in front of my crotch rather than under my seat. While this resulted in some nice insulation for the family jewels on the chilly morning ride, the downside was that my sitz bones, the actual pressure point of my seat, was at the extreme back edge of the padding. Furthermore, the rest of my gluteus was completely unprotected. So, while the rest of my backside doesn't serve as a pressure point, it is still in contact with my seat. I could actually feel the rivets on the back of my Brooks saddle through the thin, unpadded material! I noticed this misfit immediately and stopped to see if I had put the tights on backward. I hadn't, but I tried hiking up the back of the pants while wearing the front droopy. This helped for about 1/4 mile until the material returned to its natural position through my normal body movements.I may try wearing my normal bike shorts under these tights to address this issue, but I suspect that the double padding will result in too much of a "diaper effect" to be a viable solution. Since these tights were inexpensive and I've already ridden in them, I probably won't return them. However, I am sure they will find their way to the back of my riding apparel drawer only to come out in a pinch when everything else is in the laundry.UPDATE: Within 24 hours of posting the review above, I was contacted by the company apologizing for the issues I experienced with these tights, and offering to make things right. While nothing has changed about the product, that response alone garnered another star in my rating; excellent customer service goes a REALLY long way in my book. I will work with the company and amend my review even further pending the outcome of this interaction.

Great deal for the money
I really like Sponeed bike gear. So far, I have three pairs of their shorts and three pairs of their pants. They fit very well, are made well, and their padding is very comfortable. To give you an idea of sizing, I'm 6'3"" tall with a 40" waist, and weigh 220 pounds. For the regular cycling tights, XXL fits perfectly. For the flannel-lined ones, I had to get 5XL! I don't know why they run smaller, but it's something to think about. So far, no complaints. They are holding up very well and keep me nice in comfy in the saddle for long rides.

COMFORTABLE!
So far very comfortable and the fit is spot on. I'm 178 pounds and find the medium to fit perfect. I do have slim legs but still hugs tight. The padding seems perfect for short to medium rides. Haven't done a long one yet. I have the top also from this brand and the quality is good so far. I got the orange and looks nice in person.
