There is plenty of bike clothing on the market. Craft is one of the most committed clothing companies and has been able to convince several times in the past with successful pants and shirts. This summer the "Performance Bike Loose Fit Short" presented, which we asked to test.
//Structure and driving impression
The first impression is positive. Craft uses a sturdy material that gives a reliable impression. The integrated elastic materials on the front and back promise a comfortable and flexible fit. By adjusting the waistband, you can adjust the pants perfectly to the hips and prevent annoying slipping. The driver is offered a pocket and a ventilation opening on both the left and right side. We ordered our test model in size M. It comes in a bright blue with neon yellow zippers. Inside the pants are removable, padded inner pants that are connected to the shorts with two small loops.
The first impression of the "Performance Bike Loose Fit Short" confirmed on the trail. It fits great and never slips. The elastic material provides enough flexibility and you never feel restricted in your movements. The ventilation via the two separate openings works well. If you close them, the trousers keep your thighs warm even in autumn temperatures.
However, the pockets seem a bit out of place. Not on the front as usual, they are on the sides and reach down to the back of the knees. This is where the keys you carry with you or the phone get in the way.
When it comes to the inner shorts, Craft benefits from its knowledge of racing bikes. The padding distributes the pressure pleasantly and can be easily removed from the trousers.
//Conclusion
The craft "Performance Bike Loose Fit Short" is a successful all-rounder that you can wear on warm summer days, but also in spring and autumn. At 99,95 euros, the short is in the middle price segment and is definitely worth the money.
