“I wanted to try these as longer rides were causing issues! I don't race or "road bike" particularly - I just want to cycle for fun and fitness - and to get places in a more eco way - without getting sore! They are good - they stay in place nicely - the chamois is comfy - they help - BUT - I agree with other reviewers that the padding is too short in the front. A little longer would make the world of difference!!”
“Very pleased with my purchase - nice to be able to wear normal sports kit with these underneath, rather than the usual ugly cycling shorts. Could you have thicker padding for those of us using road bikes? They are perfect for mountain bikes but could do with a bit more cushioning for road bikers.”
Hi, Camilla - many thanks for your order and your review. I'm glad to hear that they are working well for you on your mountain bike and sorry they haven't fully fulfilled your expectations on your road bike.
Just to clarify: these are not designed with road cycling in mind - some people find they work fine for shorter road rides, but they are primarily for commuting, urban cycling, touring, and potentially MTB and gravel riding too. For road cycling we would always recommend 'proper' cycling shorts (which you can always cover with baggier ones if you prefer that look).
With best regards,
Phil (CEO)
“I ordered a pair of padded knickers to try for indoor cycling. I’ve never really got on with bib shorts and I find padded shorts slide down at the back. The knickers were perfect. I’ve now got four pairs and will be ordering another couple soon.”
