After choosing the right cycling pants, wearing them correctly is also an important part of ensuring cycling comfort and performance. This article will explain how to wear cycling shorts correctly and whether you need to wear underwear when wearing them.
How to wear cycling shorts?
- Choose the right size:
- Choosing the right size of cycling pants is the first step. Cycling pants should fit snugly but not too tight, ensuring they are supportive and comfortable while avoiding excessive chafing.
- Pay attention to the order of dressing:
- When putting on your cycling shorts, pull your legs into position first, making sure the padding is aligned over your hips. Then adjust the waist so that the pants fit snugly around your waist. Finally, adjust the straps (if any) to ensure they are not causing stress on your shoulders.
- Keep the pads in place:
- The padding of cycling pants is a key area designed to provide comfort and support. When wearing it, make sure the pad is in the correct position, aiming at the hips and crotch, which can reduce discomfort when riding.
- Check the trouser legs:
- Make sure your trouser legs don't ride up or become too tight. Cycling pants usually have anti-slip design on the cuffs to prevent them from shifting while riding, but they should also be made sure that they are not too tight and affect blood circulation.
Do you want to wear underwear?
The simple answer is:No underwear required.
- Design Intentions:
- Cycling pants are designed to be worn directly against the skin. Its built-in padding is designed to provide comfort, support, and reduce friction. If you wear underwear, it will increase unnecessary friction and affect comfort.
- Breathable and sweat-wicking:
- High-quality cycling pants usually use breathable and sweat-wicking materials to help keep your skin dry. Wearing underwear can affect the function of these materials, causing sweat to accumulate, leading to discomfort and skin problems.
- Reduce friction and pressure points:
- The seams and elastic of the briefs can increase friction and pressure points, which is what cycling pants are designed to avoid. Therefore, wearing cycling pants directly can minimize friction and improve riding comfort.
