Bike Shorts for Those Long Rides

**ringadingh** · 04-15-2010, 07:36 AM

For you guys that spend long hours in the saddle heres a place that makes undergarments for bike riders. A pal of mine just got the shorts and has yet to try them out, but has been told by others that they make quite a difference in your comfort.
I was considering getting a pair of bycycle shorts, when he mentioned these, and said they work even better. For those of you considering doing an Ironbutt ride these should help a lot.

he said day after day you can ride in comfort. Butt ;) without washing you'll be riding in the back of the pack. And with the black color you'll never see the bacon strips. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
I have a pair that looks just right like them, I'll have to give them a real test, thats if they didn't shrink in the dresser drawer.

I suppose those are great if you normally wear longjohns when you ride. Not my cup of tea.

I sometimes wear longjohns in the winter but terribly hot here in the summer.

under armour makes drawers with no seams thats what i use in summer wicks the sweat away and keeps your butt dry i can ride all day with those and no seams

I've seen these for sale at the local BMW dealer.

landman · 04-15-2010, 04:00 PM

plus 1 for under armour.

hammer · 04-15-2010, 05:35 PM

Me too. Under armor and you can get the coolmax underwear from WalMart. They ring out after a quick wash and are dry in less than an hour.

dogdoc · 04-16-2010, 03:09 PM

wally world has the armour knock offs just about as good for $10 each piece.

dabull · 04-16-2010, 03:11 PM

+2 on the wally world....and on the wicking....

hammer · 04-16-2010, 03:33 PM

Yup that's them Doc. I use CoolMax socks in my boots and the same in my gloves when it's cool. You don't sweat and it keeps the moisture off your skin. That and Anti-monkey Butt is your friend on those long hot rides.

Bacon strip ? I thought it was called a skid mark.

unwind2 · 04-16-2010, 08:56 PM

Maybe their bacon strips up north?
