Men's 5D Gel Pad Cycling Shorts — Breathable Padded Bike Underwear
$52.00
Description
Every kilometre asks something of your body. These cycling shorts give it back. The 5D gel pad is anatomically contoured to absorb road vibration and saddle pressure across long distances, while the four-way stretch fabric moves with you rather than against you. Whether you are grinding a mountain climb or spinning a weekend leisure loop, the moisture-wicking weave keeps you dry and the ergonomic cut keeps you in position.

How to Style It
Pair with a fitted cycling jersey and clip-in shoes for road rides. Layer under bib shorts for extra padding on ultra-distance events. Works equally well with a casual tee and trainers for leisure cycling or commuting. The black colourway is the most versatile — pairs with any jersey colour. Red adds a high-visibility edge on busy roads.
Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron the gel pad area. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Wash inside out to preserve fabric and pad integrity.
FAQ
Are these suitable for women? These shorts are cut for a men's anatomic fit. Women may find the sizing and pad placement less comfortable for extended rides.
Can I wear these without bib shorts over the top? Yes — they are designed to be worn as standalone cycling underwear or layered under bib shorts for additional padding.
How do I measure for the right size? Measure your natural waist and hips with a soft tape measure. Refer to the size guide above and size up if between measurements.
Are the sizes consistent with standard sizing? These shorts run true to the measurements in the size guide above. We recommend measuring rather than going by your usual label size.
