Review on ๐Ÿšด High-Density, High-Elasticity, and Highly Breathable 4D Gel Padded Men's Cycling Underwear Shorts by Nick Beck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My best Peleton bike!

To start this review, you should understand that I don't need 9 inch padded cycling shorts for my peleton training. I'm not going to run the Tour de France or the Vuelta a Espaรฑa with 21 legs or 18 legs respectively, I ride my Pelton, ride a stationary bike and run miles! The short XGC is about 6 inches long, which is perfect for me. All I need is a pair of cycling shorts! And I don't wear it as underwear. I wear them as cycling shorts. I just completed a 180 mile ride on a Peleton exercise bike in the last 3 days at the XGC which fits very well and is incredibly comfortable. My favorite shorts are 6 inches or so. The reason for this is that during my triathlon years I raced 7 inch triathlons which, as many of you may know, have very little padding. Which left me with the problem of wearing the XGC with a 4D gel pad. It was something like a "diaper" like when I put them on. The padding just felt very uncomfortable. three short. The XGC felt really good in the peloton and while sitting on it. The fit and breathability of the fabric is amazing. I just rode 61 miles in a peleton in over 80 minutes today. The XGC cycling was amazing! I thought that one day I would have to deal with this sliding gel pad on the saddle of a bike. Didn't happen. Sitting on the bike and feeling that the padding around the perimeter of the saddle is exactly the same as the bike saddle and not around the perimeter of the saddle as expected. In terms of height, I'm 6'3 tall, 185 lbs and 34" waist. I chose the medium XGC and it suits me perfectly. So I'm offering this review because I genuinely recommend these shorts for any indoor rides you do. Truly stunning, well designed, super cheap and amazingly sewn together for cycling shorts - no chafing/rubbing through the seam! I've spent the last 6 months looking for cycling shorts for Peleton and finally settled on the XGC. it was the right decision!
