Sportneer Padded Bike Shorts for Men - 4D Padding Mens Bicycle Cycling Biking Clothing Shorts, Breathable and Absorbent

I started riding last year and resisted the whole bike shorts and jersey look. I finally broke down and got these mainly for the padding. Gotta admit, I love them. I know I look like cycle-bro now but the padding and the feel of them is really nice. No more wearing gym shorts to cycle.The quality is good, and they fit great. The padding definitely helps. I’ve washed them a few times, no issues.

So far so good. Went contrarian on sizing and ordered a Medium - ignored the size chart that suggested a Large (I am 36-38 waist) and ignored reviewers who recommended sizing up one size from chart. I've had difficulty with every biking short i've tried getting the rear padding to stay in place where i need it while riding (i.e., between my butt and the seat).Medium perhaps a bit tighter than ideal in the thighs but not painful at all, and I can even comfortably pull the shorts over a pair of knee warmers that come partway up my thighs without constricting my thighs Most important, padding so far has been staying in the right place (i.e., against the seat ) and not shifting so that my butt ends up resting on the seat with no padding in between... Medium fine at the waist; not too tight..Time will tell how durable these are but so far seem well made and good value.Update : have been wearing for 3+ months. Holding up fine. If order another pair, will probably order Large so a little less tight though Medium has been totally fineAnother update June 2018 : have worn for two 100 mile events this year. Comfortable the whole way.

These shorts fit as expected. I wear a large and ordered a large and they fit perfect. The padding is pretty good. I did a 20 mile ride and they were comfortable. Not sure how they'll hold up for longer rides though. For the price though they can't be beat and they will get a lot of use.

The media could not be loaded. This is a review of the Sportneer men’s padded cycling shorts.Pros: Quality of these shorts is good with nice padding, good fit, non-itchy material and a simple design. I have personally purchased these multiple times to match with cycling jerseys that did not already come with shorts. I also cycle daily on the Peloton, and this far, these shorts have held up great and made my rides far more enjoyable.Opportunities: I would say these shorts tend to run a little small so you would likely be well off ordering one size up. I am 6ft tall, 190lbs and I have found the XL fits me best.Overall: You really can’t go wrong with these cycling shorts. Price and quality is good.

I have been a cyclist all of my life, and in 40 years of using a huge variety of brands I feel like I can give these shorts an honest review. At this point I have mostly been rotating Pearl Izumi, and Aero Tech Designs shorts. These ones popped up for a very good price, and I thought I'd give them a try.Construction:The multi panel construction is similar to some of my higher end shorts, and the stitching quality looks identical. I like the mesh panels that “may” make them a little cooler to wear. The fabric is thinner than any of my other shorts. The legs are a little tight, but not too bad. The leg grippers are nice and understated, yet do the job and keep the shorts from riding up.Comfort:The one thing that kept me from jumping on these right away is the bulky “pad” that they use. I hadn’t seen this in person, so it was just the photo that raised a red flag. As luck would have it the actual padding while it has some volume it compresses very easily, and is a non-issue. The primary purpose for padding in cycling shorts is to wick moisture away to prevent chaffing. These shorts do a fair job of it. I haven’t had any chaffing/burning in the 200 miles that I’ve put on these shorts in the last couple of weeks.Final Thoughts:For the price you can do a lot worse. I have had name brand shorts that are less comfortable than these, and others that fell apart very quickly. These are a very good deal for someone who is starting to put on extra miles, and wants to see if a true cycling short will make some of the pain go away. FWIW cycling shorts shouldn’t be used to fix a lack of padding/comfort from the saddle. If your saddle is uncomfortable you probably need a different one.
