Cycling Shorts Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really need cycling shorts?

On shorter rides, you might be OK with regular shorts. On a ride of over 16K, padded cycling shorts are a good idea to prevent chafing and increase your comfort. In. addition to padding your seat, cycling shorts are typically made from moisture-wicking materials like polyester or nylon that draw sweat away from your skin. This helps keep you cool, dry and irritation-free. However far you plan to go, check out our blog to read about the joys of getting out on the road.

Do padded cycling shorts make a difference?

They sure do, especially on long rides. The key advantage over other shorts is the chamois, a padded crotch insert. It absorbs pressure points where your body meets the saddle, significantly reducing discomfort and preventing chafing. This can be a game-changer for rides exceeding 16K. Padded cycling shorts typically have a snug but comfortable fit that prevents bunching and friction. Features like silicone leg grippers keep the shorts in place during your ride.

Why do cyclists wear padded shorts?

Most cyclists will tell you that regular shorts just aren't built for the kind of pressure you put on your backside when you're pedalling for miles. In essence, padded bike shorts act like specialised underwear for cycling, specifically designed to address the unique discomforts that arise from the prolonged sitting position and friction involved in cycling. The shorts' padding cushions the areas between your body and the saddle, absorbing pressure and reducing friction. This can significantly prevent chafing, which can be a major source of discomfort and pain on longer rides and afterwards.
