Ok, so here’s my problem.
I own quite a few padded shorts, ranging from $30 - $250 (bibs), and they feel great for the first 2-3 hours, then I get really uncomfortable in them. Not pain, but quite uncomfortable.
I was able to ride 200km wearing only compression shorts with no padding, but I think I got lucky.
Regular shorts/underwear always have issues because of the seams, so they aren’t viable.
I heard that triathlon shorts are lightly padded, so they may offer a nice in-between.
Does anyone wear them? How do they compare to traditional cycling shorts?
Yeah hanes athletic boxer briefs. I’ve tried without but that makes it too easy to accidentally squish certain parts.
I’ve never done fast paced road biking so I can’t be of help there.
It looks like Hanes has a few options where the seams aren’t over the butt cheeks. I’ll have to check them out! Thanks.
