Take the pressure off your knees on every pedal stroke and finish your longest rides pain-free
Whether you're tackling mountain trails, heading out for a long ride or cycling in your everyday shorts, your gear should work with the way you ride.
Men's Padded Cycling Undershorts combine a five-layer gel pad with breathable mesh made to wear beneath your regular shorts.
Fair fear. The cheap ones earned it.
This pad is contoured and low-profile: five thin layers doing the work of one thick slab, cut like regular boxer briefs.
On the bike it spreads the pressure; off the bike it disappears under your clothes. Nobody can tell.
That's the whole point.
I honestly thought my only two choices were agonizing saddle sores or squeezing into full Lycra bib shorts. I had no idea this undershorts even existed and I recommend for anyone who wants comfort without the roadie look.

Frequently Asked Questions
That's the reputation cheap padded shorts earned, and it's the first thing we designed against. The pad is contoured and low-profile: five thin layers, not one thick slab. You can walk, sit and queue for coffee without giving it a second thought. You'll know the pad is there when you first put them on; nobody else ever will.
No. That's the point. They're cut like regular boxer briefs and sit flat under shorts, jeans, chinos or baggies, with no visible lines and no bulk. As one reviewer put it, it's secret padding.
A saddle is static: you slide around on top of it, and the pressure still lands where it lands. A pad that's part of what you're wearing moves with your body and spreads that pressure across your sit bones the whole time you pedal. They're not competing. The two work together, and it works with whatever saddle you already have.
Numbness in the saddle is usually a pressure thing: most of your weight concentrated on one small spot. The pad spreads that load across your sit bones and moves with you as you pedal, which takes the pressure off the spot that goes numb. It won't fix a badly set-up bike, but for pressure, it does exactly what it says.
Whatever you already ride in: shorts, jeans, work trousers, joggers, gym shorts or baggies. They go on first, next to skin, with your own clothes over the top. They take the place of your usual underwear, rather than going over it.
The shorts are built around big breathable mesh side panels, moisture-wicking fabric and a mesh base under the pad, so air keeps moving where it matters. And because there's no back panel or straps, they run cooler than full bib shorts. That's one of the reasons riders switch.
Machine wash cold and hang them to dry. Skip the fabric softener and the tumble dryer. Both work against technical wicking fabric, and air-drying keeps the pad in shape.
