Some of you might have seen my Saddle Woes thread recently.
After further thought I wondered if Gel padded shorts would be of any benefit.
I see that Nalini & Endura make bib shorts with gel inserts; has anybody tried shorts like these & what are they like?

I have some Santini bibshorts with their gel insert, and I find them much more comfortable than their standard Coolmax pad. I find that the difference in comfort levels increases on the longer rides.0

I have the Gore Xenon Sonic Bib shorts. They are so thin and light you hardly know you are wearing them, but very comfy.

Seem a bargain for £40.. but time will tell. Should be ordering this week.Simon0 -
I think Shutt Pro Bibshorts use a gel pad - it is still a relatively thin pad but definitely comfy for me.0

I have some Decathlon gel shorts and bib shorts, that have their competition gel chamois.
They are the most comfortable shorts I have.

They are OK but the pad is quite bulky.Coach H. (Dont ask me for training advice - 'It's not about the bike')0 -

Any comments on the standard Lusso Pro version? (i.e. non gel)
ThxSimon0 -
Gel padded shorts sound a great idea if the gel doesn't harden over time, like a gel saddle I had once.0

at 40 quid, these are great value. these are always the first shorts i use for longer rides and i have more expensive craft and nike in the drawer.regards,
