Recommendations: Lycra Shorts ?

.dave

Hi,

I've never worn cycling shorts before. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to buy......

Should I go for ASSOS or would something cheaper be OK...??


Thanks

I havent tried Assos yet thought they were too expensive, giordana and santini are brilliant and have a great chamois in both, nalini have a very poor quality chamois, pearl izumi also seem great value and quality.
There are plenty of threads on this subject, just use the search button and off you go.

Evans have some good discounts on shorts at the moment. Scott shorts in particular! Might be worth a look.

This seems like a good deal for a first pair -

Assos have a great reputation but I absolutely hate mine.
Shorts are one of those things that thru trial and error you will find what works.
My favourites are
Etxeonedo
Panache
Squadra
Campagnola
