Gore Wear underpants for men are cycling undershorts for situations in which you do not wear close-fitting cycling shorts. With a chamois pad, they turn wide bike shorts or everyday trousers into shorts or trousers in which you can also ride longer distances.

When do cycling undershorts make sense?

Many mountain bikers prefer to ride in wide shorts rather than in Lycra. Padded undershorts underneath provide the necessary seating comfort without you having to do without the loose shorts. Commuters also wear cycling undershorts under their everyday trousers.

Under cycling shorts with their own chamois pad, on the other hand, you do not wear underpants. Two pads on top of each other slip, form creases and chafe.

Tip: Choose close-fitting cycling undershorts and the wide shorts over them in your normal size. The undershorts must keep the chamois pad in place, the shorts do not.
