How to wear cycling shorts 

Are you sitting comfortably?

Padded shorts are the foundation for feeling good when riding your bike. Your bike saddle is designed to work with the chamois or padded insert in your shorts to provide cushioning, support your bone structure and prevent friction and chafing.

Choosing the right shorts for you, ensuring they fit properly and wearing them next to skin ( yes, that's right no knickers, boxers or pants between you and the shorts) is key to feeling comfortable when sat on your saddle.
