Why Wear Padded Cycling Shorts?

Padded bike shorts are essential for enhancing comfort and preventing injury from falls. Particularly popular with mountain bikers, professional MTB protection shorts combine chamois padding for cushioning, support, and chafe protection with outer armour to protect the hips, thighs, and coccyx from injury following a fall.

Do Padded Cycling Shorts Work?

Absolutely, they do. Comfortable and functional, protective bike shorts are great for all types of riding. With Alpinestars protection shorts, you'll feel relief from pressure and chafing as well as the added assurance that injury-prone areas have even greater protection than with regular cycling shorts.

How to Wear Padded Cycling Shorts?

Bike shorts with padding are best worn without underwear. The chamois is designed to sit next to your skin to reduce friction, chafing, and saddle sores. Most are made from moisture-wicking material that dries quickly, but wearing underwear increases moisture retention, which can lead to discomfort.

What Are the Best MTB Protection Shorts?

The best padded MTB cycling shorts are those which give you the freedom to ride your way. We always recommend Alpinestars protective shorts to our thrill-seeking riders. With exceptional impact and abrasion protection, breathable material, and a perfect fit, these shorts offer unrestricted movement with unrivalled protection.
