Description Details Delivery & returns

One size, and it is XXL. One colour, and it is black. That is better said in the opening line than buried three paragraphs down: if you ride in anything smaller, there is nothing here for you today, though a message to us will get you an honest answer about what is due back in. For anyone who does take an XXL, this is a padded cycling short at £27.99, filed under Sport-Specific Shorts alongside the football and basketball pairs. The padding is in the name, and it is the reason to buy a cycling-specific short at all rather than riding in whatever was already in the drawer. The fabric is polyamide with elastane. Polyamide dries at a good rate, which counts on a bike, where kit tends to get wet from one direction or the other. The elastane is the stretch, so the fabric gives as you pedal and returns to shape afterwards instead of staying where you left it. The road and the turbo are the obvious home for a pair like this, though the padding does the same job on a commute or a long gravel afternoon. Padded shorts are the one item that should never sit in the bag waiting for laundry day, so wash them after each ride rather than every few. A cool cycle does it. Turn them inside out first, leave the conditioner in the cupboard, and keep them out of the tumble dryer. Hung somewhere with a bit of air moving, they will be ready again by the morning. UK addresses are all covered, and if it needs to come back, it comes back to us.
