Bspoke Richmond Trousers review

Part of a new range of cycle clothing, these Bspoke trousers don’t shout bike, so if you want discreet looks they’re ideal.

They’re unpadded, but for quick rides around town the seamless, double layer seat area keeps things comfortable, and the articulated knees are good for pedalling.

A Velcro ankle strap stops the legs getting caught in your chainring and short lengths of reflective piping (and logo) help keep you safe, though they’re minimal.

Pockets are zipped – two front, two rear – and there’s a patch pocket with Velcro closure for a mobile. The tough-feeling cotton is Teflon-coated to repel water, oil and stains, though not dog hairs.
