Review on 🚴 High-Density, High-Elasticity, and Highly Breathable 4D Gel Padded Men's Cycling Underwear Shorts by Greg Greiner

I bought these XGC shorts to complement the Baleaf version to see which fit better, have better padding and perform better. At the moment XGC fits better (for my skinny legs). The XGC's leg holes wrap tighter around my thighs than the Baleaf. The fabric is more like mesh, which makes it clearer that these are probably not separate cycling shorts. That being said, I don't think it "radiated" anything if you were caught wearing them alone while out for a walk on a hot summer day. The padding is really bulky, but it feels like it's crumpled in the saddle. I bought them for indoor training and have done a 2 hour walk with them so far. The legs didn't flex, so that's a plus compared to the Baleaf version. I use a bulky gel saddle cover when Zwifting which makes the nose of the saddle fat. I may have to try this without the gel to see if the padding feels better on shorts that flare towards the leg. I felt like maybe it was too hard and the wider gelcoat seemed to be pushing against it. The butt pads were pretty good. Maybe they were a bit wide apart for my narrow pelvis, but they still felt like they gave me some height. Another note: One seam on the inside of the leg is not sewn to the fabric. It could be a chafing issue or an issue I noticed on my first ride. In addition, they are still dry after the first wash (foam absorbs a lot of moisture!).
