Chico_2002 · 2010-09-28 17:58:41

Hi Folks, im new to cycling, got a bike recently and after a couple of trips have realised its time to get some padded shorts :) Are these bibshorts something you wear under another pair of shorts or do you just wear them on their own (with a cycly jersey obviosly :) )

Bib shorts should be worn on their own, nothing underneath.

Only modest lads wear other shorts above....

Bibshorts are to worn under a jersey and by themselves. Most every rider in the tour uses them. I find them to be more comfortable than shorts.

Can't comment on those Santini bibshorts but I got these Santini ones recently after reading good reviews.

A good bit cheaper than the ones you referred to, not sure what the difference between them though is. It's the intech gel padding that's supposed to be good and both bib shorts have. I find mine comfortable anyway although were a bit tight around the crotch the first couple of wears.
