A sore saddle is one of the top reasons riders cut a ride short or skip longer distances altogether. This padded undershort slips on beneath any regular shorts or cycling bottoms, placing a multi-layer silicone gel pad between you and the saddle without changing your outward look. Made from a breathable, moisture-wicking 94% polyester / 6% elastane blend that stretches with the body, it works well for road riding, mountain biking, commuting, or any outing where you'll be in the saddle a while.

Why It Stands Out

Silicone gel cushioning — a multi-layer gel pad paired with rebound comfort foam soaks up shock, eases pressure points, and cushions the sit bones on long rides.

Ventilated pad build — deflector channels and a perforated cushion layout keep air moving through the saddle contact zone to cut down on heat buildup.

94% polyester / 6% elastane outer — a brushed polyester shell that's soft against skin, dries quickly, and pulls moisture away during effort.

Anatomic, body-hugging cut — shaped to move naturally through the pedal stroke so it won't bunch or chafe over distance.

Reinforced pad surface — an abrasion-resistant polyester layer at the pad's outer face adds durability where wear is highest.

Capsule-style pad construction — a structured build that keeps its shape and cushioning through repeated wear and washing.

Built for year-round riding — suited to spring, summer, autumn, and winter use. Wear it under shorts or bibs on mountain bikes, road bikes, city bikes, scooters, or downhill runs.

Where They Fit Best

This undershort suits any rider who wants saddle padding without wearing traditional lycra cycling shorts. Since it's worn underneath, it pairs easily with casual shorts, hiking trousers, or any everyday bottom for commuting, touring, trail riding, or a relaxed ride. It's a good match for riders newer to longer distances who are starting to notice saddle discomfort, and for anyone who'd rather not wear visible padded shorts day to day.

How the Padding System Works

The pad is built up in functional layers. Its outer face uses a brushed polyester fabric that's soft against skin. Underneath sits a silicone gel layer rated for shock absorption and protection, backed by a rebound comfort foam base that dampens road vibration. Deflector channels and a perforated layout let air pass through the contact area, while the capsule-shaped construction keeps the pad's geometry stable during pedalling so it stays in place rather than shifting or bunching.

Sizing and Fit

Sizing follows EU/standard measurements — pick your size based on your waist measurement, and size up if you're between sizes for a more comfortable fit on longer rides. Offered in Red and Blue, with sizes from M through 3XL.

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold at 30°C on a gentle cycle. The fabric dries quickly, so air dry instead of tumble drying to protect the pad structure and elastic. Do not bleach, and avoid ironing the pad area.

Frequently Asked Questions

💖 Are these worn under regular shorts or as outerwear?
These are designed to be worn as an undergarment beneath any regular shorts, trousers, or cycling bottoms. They add silicone gel padding between you and the saddle without changing the way you look from the outside.
🧴 What is the padding made from?
The pad is a multi-layer silicone gel construction with a comfort rebound foam base, perforated cushioning for airflow, deflector ventilation slots, an abrasion-resistant fabric base, and a capsule protector structure that holds its shape during pedalling.
📏 How do I choose the right size?
Choose your size based on your waist measurement. If you are between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit during longer rides. Sizes available: M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, 4XL.
🚴 What types of cycling are these suitable for?
Suitable for mountain biking, road cycling, city commuting, scooter riding, downhill biking, and general leisure cycling. They work in all seasons — spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
🧹 How do I wash these shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. The fabric is quick-drying — air dry rather than tumble dry to preserve the pad structure and elastane. Do not bleach and do not iron the pad area.
💨 Will the shorts be hot or uncomfortable in summer?
The 94% polyester / 6% elastane mesh fabric is breathable, lightweight, and moisture-wicking. The pad itself includes deflector slots and perforated ventilation channels that promote airflow in the saddle contact zone to reduce heat build-up.
