How do you like the Craft Master Shorts? How does the sizing compare to PI? I find the PI to run large which puts me into the XS Microsensor and I'm not sure there worth $119.00. I prefer the thinner chamois in the Microsensor the one in the Ultrasensor is too thick. I tried the Sugoi RS Flex which I really liked at first but after a few washings the chamios seems to have changed and it's "bunching" up when I ride and causing some irritation. Boure is another option. HELP!!!
I love Craft shorts!
The sizing is pretty accurate, I'm a medium in most things and the medium fits me really well.
The chamois is really good- adequate padding without chafing (the one time I tried a PI short the chamois drove me crazy- it was so thick it felt like a diaper).
I have both the master and the next one up (I think it's called race- mine are from 2 years ago- I think they upped the price so that it's really expensive this past year). For all practical purposes they're both great. When you first put them on though, the higher end ones have a fabric that feels more luxurious. The master ones are just a little bit shorter than I prefer as well.
I generally find almost everything of Craft's that I try is really well made and designed to be functional- the shorts are no exception.
I have a couple pairs of the Master Bib Shorts, and I like them a lot. The small is a "true" small--sizing is similar to Louis Garneau, Castelli, etc. rather than PI. I find PI to run somewhat large in its sizing. The chamois in my Crafts are nice. Not at all bulky but have kept me comfortable on longer rides.
