Susana 5 I am a 62 year female. I cycled with no previous training the Shimanami Kaido route ( around 70 km) in two days, and the pants saved my life. By the end of the second day I was hurting in the seat, but at least I could complete the route! I found the pants a bit on the large side, but extremely comfortable, they wash well, and they made a big difference!
