Make long hours in the saddle more comfortable with these padded riding undershorts.
Spending hours on a motorcycle or bicycle can quickly lead to saddle soreness and general discomfort as the miles add up. Rigid seats and continuous road vibrations often turn an exciting journey into a test of endurance.
Why are these padded riding undershorts so popular?
-
Targeted shock absorption: The built-in gel pad sits exactly where you need it for long hours in the saddle.
-
Excellent ventilation: A full mesh body allows body heat to escape even when wearing heavy riding gear.
-
Discreet profile: The slim design means they fit comfortably under your favourite riding trousers.
-
Minimises chafing: The smooth padding helps reduce friction against the seat during extended journeys.
-
Moves with you: Flexible fabric ensures the shorts stay in place as you shift your weight on the bike.
Ideal for:
Motorcyclists who frequently embark on long-distance touring and require extra saddle cushioning, daily commuters looking to add a discreet layer of padding under their standard trousers and cyclists and mountain bikers who prefer wearing their own casual clothing on weekend rides.
Do these shorts replace my regular riding trousers?
No, these are designed entirely as a base layer to be worn comfortably underneath your standard motorcycle jeans, leathers, or cycling shorts.
Will the gel pad feel overly bulky when walking around off the bike?
While the pad is thick enough to dampen road vibrations, it is contoured to sit close to the body, allowing for a natural gait when you stop for a break.
Can I wear these for activities other than motorcycling?
Yes, the anti-shock gel pad and breathable mesh construction make them equally suitable as a base layer for mountain biking, road cycling, or horseback riding.
How should I care for these shorts to maintain the gel insert?
It is best to machine wash them on a gentle cycle and let them air dry, as high heat from a tumble dryer could degrade the gel pad over time.
