Short elastic cycling pants

Short cycling shorts made of elastic materials are designed specifically for active cycling. Their main task is to ensure maximum comfort during both longer and shorter rides. Thanks to the tight cut, the shorts adapt perfectly to the body and stay in place without any unpleasant bunching.

They are most often equipped with an integrated cycling pad (lining), which protects sensitive areas from pressure points and vibrations from the saddle. A high-quality pad made of breathable materials helps wick away sweat and reduces the risk of skin irritation.

What are the benefits of wearing elastic cycling shorts?

If you spend more than a few minutes a day on your bike, you'll quickly find that classic sports pants are not enough. Elastic cycling pants are designed specifically for cyclists and offer the following benefits:

provide an ergonomic fit
improve aerodynamics
contain reinforced padding that protects your seat from pressure and abrasions
have a seamless construction and prevent skin chafing during long ride
improve ventilation and sweat removal

How to choose elastic cycling shorts?

When choosing elastic cycling shorts, consider the following criteria:

Lining - pad

The most important element of pants– comfort depends on it
Choose an anatomical, antibacterial pad with different foam densities in different zones
Men and women have differently shaped pads – choose according to gender

With braces or without?

With braces (“bib shorts”) - hold the pants firmly in place, they do not slip and do not put pressure on the waist
No braces – easier to put on, suitable for shorter rides or recreational use

Material

Elastic (Lycra, polyamide, elastane)
With compression (better performance, less fatigue)
Quick-drying, breathable and UV-resistant

Cut and finish

Silicone hems on the pants prevent them from rolling up
Ergonomic cut that fits well while riding (not while standing)
Reflective elements for better visibility

As with previous purchases, the saleswoman was helpful this time too. The store offers the possibility to measure the distance between the sitting bones on an electronically equipped seat and thus determine the correct saddle size. I used this free service for customers, and the employee attended to me without grumbling.

As always satisfied.

There was/is an error in the description of one of the products, which caused me difficulties. A part necessary for the correct assembly of the device was missing, which essentially shouldn't have been there from the factory, but in the product's properties on the website, it is advertised as included in the package. After an agreement with technical support, we resolved this issue; they were very accommodating and fully met my requirements. I can definitely only rate positively, I recommend this store.

Great purchase, I recommend it to everyone
