sponeed Men’s Cycling Shorts Padded Bicycle Riding Pants Bike Biking Clothes Cycle Wear Tights

As inexpensive as what could be found at a Walmart or Meijer. But as protective and comfortable as the ones that cost upwards of a hundred dollars at a shop.
The padding is amazing. The compression is great. And the sizing is true to what you think you will need.
This is definitely a positive result to the homework and research I’ve done before purchasing this item because I refuse to spend $100 or more on riding shorts.
And the best information and schooling I’ve found about these shorts originated from credible, reputable sites and blogs that provide one with real information.
I’ll be getting a few more of these and recommend them anytime to anyone.

These are very well made cycling shorts. I especially like the type and shape of the padding. I would caution the end user about the sizing. I’m 5′ 8″ tall and weigh 140 lbs. I have a waist size of 32″ with a 30″ inseam. (For reference: Wrangler size 32 pants and shorts fit comfortably). My thighs are 20″ at their widest, and are about 17″ two inches above the knee cap. I originally ordered size M (US) which is L (Asian). I found that while the waist, seat, and padding are fine, the elastic just above the knee cap was very tight. I decided to keep them and I use them for rides of an hour or less. I then ordered a pair in L (US) which is XL (Asian). These are more comfortable around the thigh just above the knee and are much more comfortable to wear for an extended period. The waist and seat still seem to fit ok. There is a slight difference in that the padding is a bit larger than on the smaller size and it is noticeable but not objectionable. I now use the US size M for my regular one hour training rides, but when I go on an extended tour where one would be on and off the bike most of the day, I’ll wear the US size L. One can sit for an hour or two off the bike and not feel like your lower legs are going to go to sleep. Not sure if the smaller pair will eventually stretch out. I have washed both pairs a couple of times and the tight ones have loosened very slightly, but are still very snug near the knee. But overall, I think these Sponeed cycling shorts are an excellent value. I would recommend them to anyone, with the caveats noted.

Nice pad. These seem to fit a little on the big side but not seriously !

Absolut empfehlenswert, auch für lange Touren über 100km.

I am 6’ – 220lbs with stockier legs and XL fits perfect. I bought the gen 3 (blue pad) 6 years ago and it’s been very good. I wanted to try the new gen 4 (green pad) for a little more padding. They are very similar, both XL. I rode the green pad for 80 miles (5 hours) and did okay. Not quite as much padding as I would have liked but again, it’s a good value. They are very comfortable material, I wear compression shorts under them and didn’t have any chaffing issues. I wore the blue pad for 60 miles without compression and started to get chaffing by mile 40. My blue pad shorts still look new so they are very good quality.

I needed a better quality short and these seem to get the job done. They are comfortable and have a decent pad for longer distance road bike riding. One thing I like they are not too tight like some of the big name shorts. They have good stretch and they are true to size. I’m 5’9 and 190 lb and I went with the large. Might be able to get into a medium if I wanted a tighter fit. The pad is reasonably comfortable but like everything you have to build up to tolerance of a longer ride. I recently did a 120 mile road bike ride that took 7.5 hours and these shorts held up well. There is a newer version for $10 more that did not look as comfortable. But I can’t, since I did not purchase those because it appeared to have a different kind of pad in there that I did not think would work for a longer ride. I have actually purchased three of these because I ride between 3 and 5 days a week.
