Best Cycling Underwear for Men of 2026

"I've really enjoyed these bike shorts—the comfort and padding make a huge difference on long rides. They've held up well through several washes and are now my go-to choice. I appreciate that they're lightweight and not bulky under other clothing. I plan to buy more pairs because they're such a great value."

"After struggling with soreness from my bike saddle, I tried these padded underwear and noticed immediate relief and could ride much farther than before. The fit for my waist was good, though a bit on the shorter side, and the leg openings could use a bit more non-slip grip. Overall, it's a game changer for my cycling comfort."

"I compared three different brands of cycling underwear and found these to be the best for me. The ventilated chamois and moderate padding are perfect for long rides. For my build, the fit was excellent and the value is unbeatable compared to expensive options. Even my wife prefers these over most women's styles."

"I've used these compression pants for both cycling and weightlifting, and they're fantastic. The fit is perfect and supportive, the fabric is soft, breathable, and keeps me dry even during long workouts. They don't restrict my movement or roll down at the waist, and I've noticed less muscle fatigue. For the price, they're a steal. I'll definitely be buying more!"

"I tried these as a base layer for an 8-mile run in cool weather. They felt great the whole time, kept me cool, and didn't restrict my stride. I was worried about potential chafing due to a seam, but had no issues afterward. The fit was excellent and they stayed in place better than my shorts alone. I've already ordered another pair—really impressed!"

"I bought these to wear under cycling shorts for fall rides. They're soft, comfy, stretchy, fit as expected, and are machine washable. The price is a true bargain compared to similar leggings I've seen elsewhere. I'm happy with my purchase and hope they're always available for reorder."

"I've put over 1,000 miles on my pair using an indoor trainer and they’ve held up really well—the reflective elements are still intact even after lots of machine drying. They’re a bit snug, but comfortable and flexible enough for both indoor and outdoor rides. The three pockets are super handy for snacks and gels. The padding is decent for medium-length rides, and I’m definitely planning to buy more."

"Being 6'3" and 280 lbs, I usually have trouble with cycling shorts sizing, but these actually fit true to size, which is rare. The padding is designed for a more upright riding position, which works great for my e-bike rides. Material quality is solid, and my first pair survived 2,000 miles and many washes. I love the secure pockets, especially for my phone. My only small issue is the center seam in the crotch area can become noticeable after long rides, but it’s manageable. Overall, great product and value."

"I have four pairs now because the deep, secure pockets never let my phone fall out and the back zipper pocket is convenient. The shorts have kept their shape and comfort after at least 30 washes. At 172 cm and 85 kg, the large fits perfectly. Padding is comfortable for most rides. Highly recommend!"

"I was worried about the itchiness of wool, but after trying these out, I found the Merino wool is much less itchy than I expected. The fit was great—I'm usually a 34 waist, ordered a medium, and it fit just right. I wore them for a week, including shoveling snow in below-freezing weather, and they kept me warm but not overheated. Moisture and odor wicking was better than Under Armour, and there was no loss of warmth. For those with sensitive skin, a wool blend might be better, but for most, these are a solid choice."

"For hunting and skiing, I wanted a base layer that was comfortable, warm, and not bulky. The fit is snug and flattering (I'm 5'5", 140 lbs, and small is perfect). The wool breathes well and keeps me warm without overheating, and the quality is impressive. I can even wear the top in public. These will be my go-to for winter activities and if they hold up, I'll be buying more."

"I bought these for Canadian winters, and they’re perfect for really cold days. The quality is excellent, and the size Small fits me (30x32) perfectly. They’re mid-weight, so not ultra-light, but that’s what I wanted for extra warmth. Even at -14°C with a wind chill, I feel protected. Definitely worth the investment if you need true cold-weather gear."

"I was genuinely impressed by the outstanding warmth and comfort of this thermal shirt. The fleece-lined interior keeps me cozy without adding any bulk, and the snug compression fit provides solid support through all my activities. I’ve worn it for runs, hikes, and even cold-weather work, and it’s always kept me warm and dry. Plus, it holds up great after multiple washes—definitely a fantastic value for anyone needing a reliable cold-weather base layer."

"Living in a place with harsh winters, I've tried countless thermals, but this one stands out for its exceptional insulation and breathability. The fabric is soft, never itchy, and the fit allows total freedom of movement. Even during active days, I stay dry, thanks to its impressive moisture-wicking ability. After several washes, it still looks and feels new, and I appreciate the sleek style that works well solo or layered. It’s now my go-to for both outdoor adventures and daily wear."

"I wear this shirt by itself most of the time, and it’s pretty warm and fits perfectly. The sleeves are just the right length, and the material is soft and comfortable. I tend to get cold easily, but this shirt does a good job keeping me warm overall, even though my arms might get chilly once in a while. All things considered, it’s a great choice for anyone seeking comfort and warmth."

"I've found this base layer to be high-quality and perfectly fitting, keeping me warm even at 40 degrees while playing golf. At 5'10" and 180 lbs, the XL size fits just right and offers full range of motion on the course."

"This piece has proven to be exceptional during winter outdoor activities. It's warm without being bulky, and I love how the soft, breathable fabric keeps me comfortable and dry even when I'm shoveling snow or ice fishing. I’d recommend it to anyone who spends time outside in cold conditions."

"While the fit and comfort are great for my running, I've noticed that during long runs in the high 40s and low 50s, the insulation doesn't quite match merino wool when the fabric gets soaked from sweat. For shorter runs, it's perfectly fine, but for longer distances in cold weather, I might opt for a bit more warmth."

"As a larger guy at 250 lbs, I found these shorts to fit true to size and feel surprisingly comfortable on my rides. There’s no bunching or chafing, and the price feels right for what you get. Overall, a solid buy for me."

"I’ve put in about 500 miles with these and the padding is still holding up great. The shorts hug my legs well thanks to the quality elastic, and they’re still comfortable after all those rides. My only gripe is that the waistband feels a little weak, which isn’t what I expected from Pearl Izumi."

"I picked these up during Prime Day for a decent sale price, and while they’re not heavy duty, they’re definitely more comfortable than my old worn-out shorts. The spandex is lightweight, and the seat pad is a bit thin, but for short rides, they work out just fine. If you want a premium feel, you may want to look elsewhere, but for the price, they’re a good deal."

"After years of cycling, I can confidently say these shorts are a huge upgrade in comfort and quality over more expensive brands. The padding is just right for endurance rides, and the fabric stays cool and dry even on the hottest days. I especially appreciate the deep, secure pockets for my essentials. For the price, these can't be beat."

"These shorts have transformed my riding experience. The supportive yet non-bulky padding keeps me comfortable on both long hauls and quick commutes. They fit snugly without being restrictive, and the waistband never moves out of place. I've never had issues with chafing, and the value is outstanding for the quality."

"As a larger rider, I was impressed with how well these shorts fit. The breathable fabric and moisture-wicking keep me cool, and the padding stays comfortable over long distances. I also like the easy-access pockets, which hold my items securely while riding. After many rides and washes, they're holding up great."

"I did a lot of research before buying this undershirt and ultimately chose to order through Amazon for fast delivery. Wearing dress shirts in hot weather was always risky for me, but this shirt handled a 91-degree NYC day with zero sweat marks—absolutely none, even after hours outside. The snug fit takes a little getting used to, but it's not uncomfortable. My only small complaint is that the v-neck could be deeper to stay hidden under more open collars. Despite being pricey, it was worth every penny, and I'll be buying more as long as it holds up after washing."

"For 32 years, I’ve struggled with underarm sweating ruining my clothes and confidence. I’ve tried everything, and nothing worked until I found this undershirt. It’s a total lifesaver—no sweat, not even a little, shows through my shirts or jackets. The fit is snug, but comfortable, and the padded underarms really absorb moisture. Now I can raise my arms without embarrassment and feel confident every day. Thank you for giving me back my confidence!"

"I work long, tough days on film sets and sweat a lot. After wearing this for a 12-hour shoot, not a single drop of sweat made it through to my outer shirt. Even better, there was no odor at all, which kept me feeling fresh and self-assured all day. This shirt has really made a difference for me on the job."

"For me, the fit is perfect—I’m 6'0" and 180lbs, and the size large is just right. I love that these are thin but still warm, making them ideal as a base layer under shirts. Much better value than pricier brands I’ve tried. I’m really impressed with the comfort and quality!"

"My husband works in a freezing hospital department and these undershirts fit well under his scrubs, keeping him warm without any bulk. They're lightweight, soft, and comfortable, plus they work well as everyday undershirts."

"I own two of these in size XL and noticed that my recent purchase was about three inches shorter than my previous one. While I still like the base layer, the difference in length affects both fit and warmth for me."
