Best Cycling Underwear for Men of 2025

"I find the padding to be excellent, making my rides much more comfortable. Even though they fit tightly, I love wearing them for my motorcycle rides as well. I’m tall with long legs, and while they feel snug, they’re surprisingly comfortable. I might look like I’m wearing a diaper, but for the price, I give them 5 stars!"

"As someone who just got back into spin classes, I initially felt like I was wearing a diaper. However, these padded shorts provided a perfectly snug and breathable fit. They kept everything in place during the ride, and I was pleasantly surprised by their comfort. I’m definitely buying a second pair after my second ride!"

"At 6'1" and 208 pounds, I found the XL size to be a good fit, though a little loose in the waist. The quality appears solid, and the padding is comfortable. I’m holding off on giving a full 5/5 rating until I see how well they hold up over time, but for now, they deserve a solid 4/5!"

"I bought two pairs of padded liners for my cargo shorts used in gravel and mountain biking. The padding is comfortable and adequate for rides over an hour. I followed the size chart and ordered XL instead of Large, and they fit perfectly—not too tight, not too loose. They wash well and still look new after numerous rides. Highly recommended for the price!”

"As a cyclist, I often ride my road bike but occasionally use my commuter bike for recreational rides. I needed padded cycling underwear that wouldn't feel bulky under my touring shorts. I found these and was pleased with the lightweight mesh fabric and ample padding. They fit well, and with a wide waistband, they stay in place. For the price, they are just what I was looking for!"

"I've been using these for two seasons on rides lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. They're comfortable with just the right padding, but I found they don't breathe well. While they're great under unpadded cycling pants in winter, they can get pretty warm when the weather is over 50°F. However, for padded liners, I think they offer good fit and quality for the price."

"I found these padded bike shorts to be great for wearing under everyday shorts. They keep me comfortable and airy during hot summer rides. The padding was a bit stiff initially but softened nicely after a wash. I definitely recommend them for their quality and comfort."

"After following other reviewers' advice to size up, I ended up with shorts that were too big. They seem to run true to American sizing. Although I tried shrinking them, they held their size well. Regardless, they are comfortable for biking and I would buy them again in my correct size."

"I was unsure which brand to choose, so I ordered pairs from Ohuhu, Xcellent Global, and Baleaf to compare. All three offered great padding and comfort, with some differences in fit and material. I appreciate how they keep me dry and prevent chafing, making them ideal for my rides."

"As a road cyclist and former triathlete, I initially ordered a size Large based on other reviews mentioning they ran small. However, I returned them because they were too big and got my usual Medium size, which fit perfectly. I'm 5'10", 152 lbs, and have a 33-inch waist. I've ridden 20 and 40 miles in these shorts, and the padding was comfortable, keeping the shorts in place nicely. They seem well-made, and at $32, it’s a great price, so I bought a second pair. I appreciate the zippered back pocket and the side phone pockets, although I wouldn’t ride with my phone in the side pocket. They also worked well for pickleball!"

"I'm really enjoying these shorts! I wear a 32 waist, and the medium fits just right. I've ridden about 150 miles in them for gravel riding, and the padding is excellent for longer rides on bumpy roads. They seem very well constructed, and the price is cheap enough that I’m considering getting a couple more pairs."

"These are my second pair of shorts. I initially ordered 2XL, but after losing some weight, I went down a size. I’m 6'3" and 280 lbs, usually wearing 40x34 pants. These shorts are truly true to size, which is rare for biking products. They have rear padding suited for more upright riding, which I appreciate. My first pair has withstood 2000 miles and still looks great after many washes. I love the pockets, and I even rode home for 18 miles with my phone in the side pocket without it moving. My only minor issue is the seam in the crotch area, which can rub after long rides, but it’s manageable."

"I was 235 pounds and 6'2", so I ordered an XL. Initially, I wore compression shorts and used an aftermarket seat, but I felt like I slipped around too much. For my longer ride, I switched back to the stock seat and just wore my regular shorts over these. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I hardly felt any discomfort after riding the furthest I have in 20 years!"

"I recently got these bike shorts to replace my old pair. They fit well and offer great padding, making them comfortable for my workouts at the club. I'm very satisfied with my purchase!"

"I ride an FL with a thin leather seat, and rides over 1.5 hours used to be painful. So far, these shorts have made my rides up to 2 hours comfortable, and I'm relieved that they don't show through my jeans!"

"I've tried many pairs of padded underwear and these are by far my favorite. I can't believe how reasonably priced they are. They fit slightly shorter on the leg than my usual bike shorts, but since I wear them under mountain bike shorts, it's not an issue. They stay in place better than others I've tried, and the waistband is comfortable without rolling over."

"I don't ride a bicycle, but I put in a lot of miles on my touring motorcycle. Wearing these has definitely reduced my butt fatigue after long rides. They seem well-made, and while you can tell you're wearing them, they're not visible under my clothes."

"These padded bike shorts have made it possible for me to ride for 2 hours or more without pain, unlike before. I wouldn't ride without them now!"

"I found these shorts to be great! The padding is thick and comfy, and I can ride longer without feeling sore. They fit true to the sizing chart, and I appreciate the shorter length. Plus, the red on black stitching looks cool!"

"I initially ordered a large based on Amazon's recommendation, but it felt more like a 36 waist instead of my usual 34. I returned them for a medium, which fit much better. Overall, these are well-made, padded, and easy to wash."

"Unfortunately, I found these shorts somewhat uncomfortable. The padding felt rigid and led to irritation. The price felt exorbitant compared to the quality, leaving me feeling quite disappointed."

"I really appreciate the size chart; it helped me choose the right fit, and I found the medium to be perfect."

"The padding is just right, and it kept my behind comfortable during my ride."

"As someone who recently started unicycling, I found these shorts provided great support and kept everything in place, which is crucial."

"I found these shorts to be perfectly comfortable, especially on long rides. The padding is just right where I need it, and the material feels excellent. I would definitely recommend them for anyone wanting more comfort while biking."

"I was looking for something to ease discomfort on my motorcycle rides. These shorts surprised me by making a 5-hour ride much more bearable. However, I did find the fit a bit odd; I usually wear medium or large, but I went with XL based on the size chart, and they were a bit big. Still, they kept me from getting a sore backside too quickly, and they don't look out of place under my jeans!"

"I usually wear a size 32 in jeans, but the medium size of these shorts was too baggy for me. The sizing chart suggested a large, which I think would have been even worse. Regardless, I still use them under my running shorts for my hour-long rides, and they serve their purpose well."

"I was initially skeptical of this inexpensive chamois, but I was pleasantly surprised. After trying them, I bought a second pair and plan to get more if they had my size available. I'm 5'10" and 220 lbs, and the large fits perfectly—not too tight at all. The grippers and waistband are comfortable, and the chamois is thick enough to provide excellent pressure distribution. I've spent more on other brands like Pearl Izumi, but these feel just as good for a fraction of the price. So far, they look new after several rides and washes!"

"As someone new to padded bike shorts, I wasn't sure what to expect. It felt a bit strange at first, almost like wearing a diaper, but it did help with comfort. The quality seems acceptable, and the size fits as I expected. Overall, it's a good introduction for me!"

"I was impressed with the quality right out of the package. The padding felt good during my ride in the Pacific Northwest, and I experienced no discomfort at all. However, my wife pointed out that these shorts are quite revealing, so I'll likely wear something over them. Despite that, the comfort and material have made me consider wearing them as is!"
