  O'Neal Racing Trail Pro Shorts

  Donald in CO

  Nice fit for Big men.

  I'm a big guy. Finding gear that fits is usually difficult. The XXL fit similar in size to what Hanes underwear does. Good padding while not being too bulky. Even the crotch padding is ok. It definitely helps with the lumber hard KTM seat.

  Leatt 3DF 4.0 Impact Shorts

  Jeff in OR

  I like 'em

  Good, nice to wear under the breaches for additional support and padding. Stink washes right out.

  Klim Tactical Base-Layer Shorts 2023

  Patrick in NY

  Very comfortable

  Very comfortable with a nice snug fit. I wear a large in Jockey shorts so I ordered the large and it's perfect. Well padded but I do wish there were some higher hip pads included.

  Fly Racing Barricade Compression Shorts

  Dave in NY

  Good tail bone protection

  I bought these for some additional tail bone padding. I broke my tailbone several years ago and it can get very sore on rides. The protection with these shorts helps a lot and it's placed such that it doesn't feel like you are wearing a diaper. I could use a bit more padding but it's a happy medium. The hip pads and compression fit are just a plus.

  MSR™ Mid Layer Pant

  Jim in OH

  Comfy and a great value

  Great mid-layer for those not wanting to spend a bunch on some extra insulation. Very comfortable to wear on and off the bike - even when just lounging around the house or camp site.

  Alpinestars Bionic Pro Protection Shorts

  Luke in CA

  Protection in the right areas yet still breathable...

  For reference, I wear a size 30-31 waist pants (5'10", 170 lbs. with athletic proportion thighs) and found the size small Alpinestar Bionic Pro shorts to fit great. They do fit like a compression short, similar to cycling shorts with the exception that the frontal genital area is more roomy than typical cycling shorts, so it offers more comfort and ventilation on long rides. I found very few shorts offer upper pelvis bone the side hip bone protection, let a lone in the right area (these areas are prone to impact, abrasion and can be very painful). Unlike any other shorts I have seen, this short has an articulating pad around the femur/hip joint which "pivots" when you sit/stand, whereas other shorts bunch together when you sit. Very clever design. I am a big fan of Leatt gear, but found this short to offer slightly better placed protection and better ventilation than Leatt's top level shorts by a margin. Good protection can be the difference of taking a hit and then continuing to ride, versus linking home early.
