Castelli Body Paint 2.0 Shorts -- ZERO sausage leg!!!

[Owlie]

They are really nice and comfortable, at least, the shorts version is. (I don't completely love the chamois, but it's better than the other pair of Castelli shorts I own(ed), and it's better on the road bike it is on the CX bike.) If I remember correctly, they do pretty well in the heat too.
Funny thing is, I ended up with them by accident--I'd ordered a different Castelli short and a jersey, and a CS rep called me back and said "The jersey's out of stock and we've just discovered a manufacturing error with the shorts. Would the Body Paint shorts be OK?"

I think I still get a touch of sausage leg with them, but that might be because I haven't actually been riding much this year...

I'm sure I would if I went down a size. The ones I'm in fit nicely, but not super compressive. If I dropped 5-10#s I'd likely want to go down to a M. I could probably get away with a M right now...but the price would be mild sausage legs.

I think mine are smalls. (Small in everything except the Sugoi RSes, and that was borderline.) I think they fit snug in the legs, because everywhere else is snug, but not quite as snug as the legs... Right now I could probably wear a medium, although I think I'll keep my current pair as an incentive...
