What goes into the PadFlex cycling shorts

Gel pad at the seat

Long saddle hours put pressure on your sit bones. A perforated silicone gel pad sits right where you meet the saddle, giving you a cushioned layer between you and the seat.

Foam layer under the gel

A thin saddle on a rough road can feel harsh. High-density foam sits beneath the gel and spreads contact across the pad, so you have a shaped base to sit on.

PadFlex

Vented, mesh-panel fabric

Warm days and hard climbs leave you damp. Airflow perforations and moisture-wicking mesh panels let air move through the shorts, so the fabric is not a solid layer against your skin.

One pair for several rides

Packing for a trip means choosing what to bring. These shorts work for road rides, spin classes and daily commutes, so one pair covers several kinds of riding in your bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

The pad combines perforated silicone gel with a high-density foam layer. It sits at the seat area, where your sit bones meet the saddle, and is built into the shorts.

Yes. They are made as a padded cycling base layer, so you can wear them under shorts, tights or pants for rides or commutes.

They suit road cycling, mountain biking, commuting, spin classes and casual weekend rides. The padding and stretch fabric are the same whichever kind of ride you pick.

Airflow perforations and moisture-wicking mesh panels are built into the shorts. They let air pass through the fabric, which suits warm-weather riding and indoor spin sessions.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or wash by hand, then air dry. Washing after each trip keeps the pad and stretch fabric clean and ready to pack.

The leg openings have reinforced double-layered hems. The extra layer gives the edge a finished band around the thigh while you pedal.

The shorts use a polyester-elastane blend. The elastane gives four-way stretch, and the mesh panels add ventilation across the body of the shorts.

Use the sizing chart and match it to your waist measurement. If you prefer a looser fit, check the next size up on the chart before ordering.

The pad in these padded cycling shorts combines a perforated silicone gel layer with high-density rebound foam. The perforations allow airflow, and the pad sits inside a polyester-elastane short with four-way stretch.

PadFlex: Padded Cycling Shorts for Road, Spin and Commutes

Plain shorts put only a thin layer of fabric between the rider and the saddle, so many cyclists wear padded cycling shorts as a base layer. PadFlex is built for that job.

These gel padded cycling shorts pair a perforated silicone gel layer with high-density rebound foam, so the contact area under the sit bones is cushioned. Worn as padded bike shorts under regular shorts, tights or pants, they suit mixed-use days.

Cushioned cycling shorts also need to move with the rider, so the polyester-elastane blend has four-way stretch. Reinforced double-layered hems finish the leg openings, and airflow perforations with moisture-wicking mesh suit warm rides.
