I'm really sorry you didn't like these, it seems strange the padding wasn't right as we have really good feedback for these leggings! It is usually better to reach out to us on customer service as we can always help and give advice on comfort/ fit issues.
“I ordered this item last year and have worn and washed it dozens of times since. It is, without a doubt, the BEST quality cycling pant I have ever owned. Fabric still looks as good as new (no stretching in the knees or sun rot on the front of the thighs) and the padding remains in pristine condition (no flattening, staining, or fraying). I recommend this pant for cycling in 15-25 degree Celsius weather conditions, low-to-mid humidity.
Unfortunately, the semi-adhesive tape along the waistband and calves can cause a bit of chapping when damp (from sweat or humidity) on long (2-hour+) rides (in Japan). I haven't found it necessary to use the drawstring at the waist.”
