I am doing Sleepless In The Saddle and the Keilder 100 this year and am after some really decent comfortable padded shorts to help prevent the usually excruciating saddle sore i usually suffer with on very long rides. The shortlist at the moment are:
Endura MT500
Skins Cycle Pro compression shorts
Skins C400 compression bib shorts
Assos F1 S5 Half shorts
So what do you reckon? Comfy pad after silly long rides is the no 1 priority.

Anyone? I would like to order one of the above tonight so any opinions for or against would be helpful. I am swaying toward the Skins C400 as I have several of their products already and they are very good quality..... don't want to needlessly waste my money though.0

Almost everyone on here likes Assos, but if you have similar shorts from skins then fancier ones will probably be he best choice.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Bibs certainly, but I have always found cheaper padded shorts to be good, especially when worn in. I have tried more expensive ones only to have them come apart.
Its easy to end up spending a fortune for very little advantage, plus one fall and they could be ruined.<font size="1"> Streako </font id="size1">
