“I've had my eye on these for a while but balked at the price tag - so when they were in the Black Friday sale I bought two pairs.
I've not had a chance to wear them on the bike yet but I have tried them on - I got a size M and they fit perfectly, I can hardly feel them. This gives me so much more choices for cycling clothing as I can wear normal sports leggings instead of expensive cycling tights.
VeloVixen says: so glad you've taken the plunge! Hopefully they can now justify the price.”
“These are fabulous. They are more comfortable than some of my padded shorts & tights & I can wear them under running tights to expand my cycling wardrobe. The padding is enough to cushion for a decent ride but thin enough that it isn’t too bulky under other workout clothes or ordinary trousers- amazing. Thanks!”
“These are fantastic. They are more comfortable than several of my padded tights or shorts & mean I am able to pad up my running leggings & expand my riding wardrobe. Fabulous- thanks for the ingenuity & great design!”
“All I will say is that I wish I had bought these ages ago ! They are seriously well designed, fair price , and really comfy for up to 50 miles ( so far ! ) . I also bought some Hoo Ha Ride Glide and I reckon that will turn out to be an excellent buy too !
Well done Velovixen! And thankyou for making them ! ????????????”
“I bought the Velovixen own make of padded knickers because I wanted a second pair. Previously I had bought a pair of the (more expensive) Urbanist ones. Well, I am thrilled with the Velovixen ones. The pad is less thick which makes them more comfortable, the Urbanist ones are too padded I think, certainly when off the bike they feel a bit 'nappy-like'. Also the Velovixen ones are longer in the front which suits my style of riding. Do size up though. I am normally size 8-10 and so bought a size small. They fit fine but perhaps a little tighter than I really like. If I bought another pair I would size up.
VeloVixen Says: thanks so much for your thoughts, Celia, and your glowing approval! For what it's worth - and sizing can be a tricky business! - we do find that people generally find a small works for a UK size 10, medium for a size 12, large for a size 14, etc. We get very low levels of exchanges with that as a rule of thumb.”
“I've just bought two pairs of Velovixen padded cycling knickers in anticipation of a bike and boat ride holiday booked later this summer. I am usually a size 10-12 and bought a size M (12) which fit perfectly and feel very comfortable. I am really looking forward to trying these out and don't think I'll be waiting for my holiday. I usually end up very saddle sore but I am confident these will do the trick.”
“These cycling knickers are just what I wanted for short trips out for coffee or lunch, when I don’t want to wear full Lycra. They fit really well and are true to size. They fit snugly under my jeans. I’m considering buying a 2nd pair.”
