Long Padded Cycling Shorts

Long rides should feel comfortable, not sore. These padded shorts use 5D gel padding to help absorb trail and road vibration. They also help reduce pressure on your sit bones. As a result, you can stay comfortable on commutes and longer routes around New Zealand.

The fabric is breathable and stretchable, so it supports your movement and helps manage sweat. You can wear these padded cycling shorts on their own. Alternatively, you can wear them under loose outer shorts for extra coverage. Either way, the snug fit and leg grips help keep the pad in place while you ride.

Benefits for New Zealand cyclists

  • Lasting comfort: Suits longer rides, training sessions, and weekend loops.
  • Improved focus: A stable fit means fewer mid-ride adjustments.
  • Simple, practical style: Black and red colourway pairs well with most kits.

These gel padded cycling shorts hug close to your body to help reduce drag and prevent chafing. Thanks to the anti-slip tape at the leg openings, they stay in place, so you can focus on the ride rather than your gear.

Fit guidance for this model

  • The gel pad should sit centred and smooth, without folds or bunching.
  • The leg grips should hold the shorts in place without pinching or leaving deep marks.
  • Do not wear underwear under these cycling shorts, because extra seams can increase chafing.

Care tips for these padded cycling shorts

  • Wash gently: Use cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
  • Dry naturally: Air dry in shade. Avoid tumble drying to protect stretch fibres.
  • Air out after use: Hang after each ride to reduce moisture and odour build-up.
