I purchased these pants as a technical bike pant that I could comfortably wear on & off the bike while traveling through Europe on a recent 2 week trip..
And while they definitely did the job of being a good riding pant, I had no idea my Edge pants would get so much use throughout the trip..
I wore them on riding tours through Amsterdam, Germany, France & Italy, and they felt SO good and looked SO good I reached for them even when casually out for the day and even for more dressy/ formal meals on our river cruise! I mean I literally could've left the other pants I packed at home!..
With padded chamois underneath for longer riders, or a base layer under for chillier days, I'm really not sure what the Edge can't be used for (short of extreme weather).
I was so impressed with how well my gray Edge pants did on my trip that I added a blue & khaki pair to compliment them. Now that spring is here I'm expecting to wear one of my 3 pairs just about everyday... Thank you Zoic - JB
