I have worn and washed these Dome shorts a hundred times each and they are practically like new.
The Ergo Due bib short is Castelli's newest entry-level bib short. These are so cheesy, it's ridiculous. The lycra is much thinner, the Kiss chamois pad is thinner, and the construction quality is terrible. The stitching on the chamois pad completely unraveled on the very first wearing, and the pad completely separated from the shorts. I found black thread wrapped around my rear brake caliper! The shorts went straight into the garbage can after one 40 mile ride. Do yourself a favor-spend a little more money and get better quality. Strengths: They look nice. Weaknesses: Cheap materials, poor quality construction. Zero durability. Similar Products Used: Other styles of Castelli, Assos, Nalini, Santini, and Performance brand bibshorts
