I ordered the Witches Britches as well as the Black Widow s. I kept the Black Widow’s as preferred the waistband and chamois to the Witches Britches. I’m very happy with the Black Widow’s after 3 recent long rides. Perfect for my MTB trip to the Dolomites.
Purchased to replace the earlier model from the early 2000’s! While I’ll miss the reinforced knee, these are way more comfortable. Just did the West Coast Wilderness Trail in them. Perfect!
I loved my first pair purchased in 2008 with the chamois on the knee. I still wear them now. They have stood the test of time (and crashes) Purchased the merino version in June 2022 & another this year - fabric not the same, although they are warm - they do not have the lasting power of the original. Great service from Ground Effect though with quality garments.
Warm and comfortable wear on own or under cycle short Love your size 16 cycle clothing
