Review on BALEAF Women's Bike Shorts: 3D Padded Pocket for Comfortable Cycling Experience with Gel Cushioning – UPF 50+ by Tom Duncan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Buy at a bike shop

Benefits: Lower legs stay in place thanks to handles. true size. stylish. SPF fabric. Good length Cons: no pockets. Seriously, why isn't there a pocket on the back or on the leg? CONS: The gel pad is terrible and doesn't work. First off, pulling off these shorts requires acrobatics. Luckily, I'm quite capable of that. Keep in mind that the standard butt pull will not work. You should start adjusting the pillow early in the pull-up and have your legs wide apart and your knees bent. Once the cushion is properly installed, you can sit on the bike. And if you're like me, you practically slide off the seat. Big minus: the fabric is too slippery. To the driving experience. Why, why did I even ride for a short time in shorts that obviously weren't sewn properly? An hour into the ride and my pubic bone is still struggling. DISADVANTAGES: The padding is insufficient both in the area of the pubic bone and in the area of the seat bones (sitting bones). DISADVANTAGE: Irritation. The gel pad rubs. Too small. It should cover a large area. I have the signature women's cycling shorts with the big, soft suede on the buttocks. This is not a gel pad or foam. i love this couple I guess I'll have to go through my old receipts to find the brand name. My advice? Go to your local bike shop and buy a pair you like (no, I don't work in a bike shop). And you get what you pay for. My first padded cycling shorts are over 22 years old. I paid a fortune for them but they still work. And black will never go out of style.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Modern
