X-TIGERMen's Cycling Underwear Shorts 5D Padded Gel,MTB Biking Shorts Pants with Breathable,Adsorbent Design

I was unsure about these, but when they arrived, I was impressed with the feel of the fabric, the thickness is the padded crotch, the length of the inseam, and they're not too tight on the legs. I wore it today and was extremely glad I did. These made a world of difference for my one hour ride! I had to stand up maybe 4 - 5 times, but 95% improvement to my riding experience. A well made and great item!!!!***** I purchased according to the weight ranges listed an so happy they had this grid, as well. The recommended size based in previous purchases was easy off.*******Background story: I rode on Monday in much discomfort to my under cheeks, searched for and purchased either gel insert or gel padded shorts) my buttocks began feeling less sore yesterday, and I decided to test this item.

Amazon recommended a large based off what I've ordered and it was a size larger than I wear. Im a 34 waist and the large was more like a 36 waist. These should be somewhat snug/form fitting so I've returned for a medium. Medium fit better/as it should. Great cycling shorts otherwise, well made, padded, easy to wash. Time will tell on durability.

I recently purchased these cycling shorts for my indoor exercise bike, and they’ve been a game changer! The fit is perfect, and they provide just the right amount of compression and support, which makes my workouts much more comfortable.The padding in the shorts is thick enough to provide cushioning without feeling bulky. It helps reduce discomfort and chafing during long cycling sessions, and I’ve noticed a big difference in how my sit bones feel after a workout. The fabric is breathable and moisture-wicking, which keeps me dry and comfortable, even during intense cardio.The waistband stays in place, and the shorts don’t ride up, which I really appreciate. They’re made of high-quality material that feels durable but also soft against the skin. Plus, the design is sleek and looks great!Overall, I’m extremely happy with these cycling shorts. They’ve made my exercise bike workouts much more enjoyable, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive pair of shorts for cycling.

Pros:(1) padding extending to the anterior, which helps with adding modesty when I don't have a tights with a padded pouch.(2) mesh is good for sweat(3) softCons(2) inseam rides up.(3) waistband rides down.(3) on my body, the posterior padding does not extend wide enough to help with my indoor cycling pain

It helps for sure. They run small, get a bigger size. Need to get larger shorts to wear over them too.

First off I'd like to say that the PADDING in these is GREAT, especially in the sit bones area which is what most people are after.Unfortunately they fit funny. Not size-wise; let me explain. The size of them was fine as far as fitting me: not too tight, not too loose...in other words the size was correct.The problem(s) as other reviews mentions was that they have an extremely low rise compared to other shorts. The "rise" is the distance from the crotch to the top of the waistband. As a guy, it's not comfortable if my waistband doesn't go all the way up to my natural waist, not below it like women's jeans, bikinis, or panties.Second, the inseam is too short, as in the leg parts don't go down far enough. Again, as a guy it's not comfortable to wear shorts that fit like women's "boy short panties". Most of these type of shorts come down to a couple inches above the knee. Due to this extremely short inseam, that portion rides up into the sides of my crotch, bunches up, and creates much more chafing in sensitive areas than normal. Even when using a generous amount chamois cream.Maybe the GREAT PADDING cost more and they reduced other fabric in the rise and inseam to counter that and still be able to sell at a competitive price point. Unfortunately for me this made these unusable and painful to wear. I even wore them on 3 high intensity 20-30 mile rides to be as objective as possible but they just didn't make the cut. If they can increase the length of rise and inseam--even for a few more dollars--then these could be MUCH better.

These are so awesome! Fits under regular shorts, ventilated, comfortable and the padding is thick and well placed to keep those saddle sores to a minimum. I think I like the length of them most. Most cycle shorts are long and not vented so they're hot and hard to keep at the right place on my legs. These stay out of the way, aren't hot and provide great padding. Love 'em.

Very good shorts that certainly help your derriere feel more comfortable during bicycle rides. Wash in machine, but air dry. They are certainly slightly tighter, so go up one size. Generally it seems like good shorts.
