Featuring advanced Progel pad technology and moisture-wicking mesh panels, these shorts provide essential cushioning and climate control under your favorite cycling outerwear.

FAQs
Can I wear these as regular shorts?
No, these are designed specifically as undershorts and lack the durability and coverage required for standalone use.
Are these suitable for long-distance gravel rides?
Yes, the Progel Plus Trail Pad is specifically engineered to handle the demands of long days in the saddle.
How should I wash the Progel pad?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at low temperatures. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the pad's moisture-wicking properties.
Do these fit true to size?
They are designed with a fitted silhouette; if you prefer a less compressed feel, check the size chart to ensure a correct fit for your waist and thighs.
Do the leg grippers cause irritation?
The silicone grippers are designed to be low-profile and comfortable, but ensure they are positioned correctly on your thigh.
Troubleshooting
Shorts riding up during a ride
Ensure the silicone leg grippers are in direct contact with your skin and verify you have the correct size for your build.
Moisture buildup or feeling clammy
Ensure you are using breathable outer shorts to allow the undershorts' mesh panels to function correctly.
Pad feels less cushioned over time
Check if the pad is saturated with detergent residue; ensure you use minimal detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the pad foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best experience, ensure the undershorts fit snugly against your skin. They are fully compatible with any standard pair of cycling baggies or loose-fit mountain bike shorts. For maintenance, wash the garments in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the Progel pad and the elasticity of the mesh. Always avoid tumble drying to prevent damage to the silicone grippers and fabric fibers; instead, hang-dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
