Hi all,

I've just bought a pair of tld dh pants/shorts. They have some padding on the outer thigh area and they're quite tough/rigid material.

Anyway, i was wondering what to wear under them? I don't think normal boxxers will be comfortable. I saw some cycling shorts on CRC but not sure what to get.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

just normal cycle shorts with the padding would do,

won't they be a bit too thick?

anyway what defines a normal cycling shorts?

Is there any benefit in buying something expensive and branded? or will something for £25?

What about a pair of these...?

All of those will do a fine job of sitting comfortably under your DH shorts.

What to wear under DH shorts?



Uphill legs !!

When i'm wearing my Troy Lee GP trousers i just wear tight,jersey style,boxers.I find this very comfy. I'm generally only bmx riding though.I'm in the trousers all day as well. (Well except at nationals when i get motot'd :¬( . How much seated riding do you actually do in your D/H shorts? If it really is just push up and ride down i reckon boxers will be fine.

well it's dh/fr/trail kind of riding. I usually wear loose boxers and combats or jersey but i find they just bunch/ride up and get very uncomfortable and even more so afterwards because of the chaffing.

Thanks guys.

I just wear normal boxers under DH shorts, even if I end up riding XC stuff in them. I actually prefer them to posh padded coolmax jobbies.

However, if you find yours bunch up or whatever, then you may as well try some cycling specific boxers. Just go with whatever works for you.

I bought some cycling specific boxers, dhb from Wiggle ... not impressed,they are elasticated at the bottom of the legs ... far too tight, might have to take the scissors to them.

I just wear my private parts under my lycras nothing else, usually wear my baggies over my lycras..

I wear neoprene shorts as they keep my 10 incher warm when wet. Did i say inch i meant mm.....

right i got the endura ones. They feel odd to wear. I thought they'd be a little more tighter like scuba gear.

Anyway they have a saddle shaped synthetic chammy pad, just feels really weird...

I hope i ordered the mens ones...

They should feel fine when you're riding...

well they just feel sooo weird, like i'm wearing womens panty liners/towels... not that i know what wearing them is like, just feels odd.

Like a nappy you mean...?

If so, that's normal with some brands.

i see. :o|

's all cool. Just don't go wearing them down the local boozer!

i'll try not to, they'll never be worn just on their own though, always under either combats, jeans or my dh/fr shorts.
