baleaf 4D Padded Bike Shorts Women Cycling Underwear Gel Padding Pockets

I really like Baleaf chamois, it works well for me, and this pair of shorts is no different. It's comfortable and gives me confidence I can be suitably protected for 40 mile rides!The styling is good and having good-size pockets is a huge plus.I bought 2 pairs of these; and love the longer ones; they are super comfortable and the length is great. Not super long but they made my legs look good. The thigh grippers worked well and there was no slippage. I highly recommend the longer length.I also purchased the shorter length to see about changing where my tan line is. They'd be great for that. The issue I have, though, is that I have fat thighs, the short inseam with the leg grips makes me bulge in a way that's not flattering! Sure, it's me and I'll get over the bulgy appearance. I'll definitely wear them, but they're not my favorites.Update: I also purchased the "Lycra 5-inch" (the ones with the flashes of color from the hip to the front). These are likely to be my favorite summer shorts; they're cut a little differently than the other 5-inch shorts and I don't feel like I have the "sausage effect" going on. The chamois is a little different than the others but still comfortable for short (up to an hour) rides. I haven't ridden longer than that yet, so can't comment how comfy they are for longer rides. These shorts have a cute look and are highly recommended by me!

This is my second Baleaf cycling shorts purchase. This particular pair seemed to be advertised as a slightly upgraded variation (with a thicker chamois & side pockets) versus the Baleaf pair I already own. I immediately used the new shorts for a 45-mile ride on a very hot/humid day, and found them to be very comparable to my high-end name-brand shorts that are similar, without the higher price tag. The material on the Baleaf shorts is slightly thinner and maybe just a bit less compressive than my name-brand shorts, but I have not found that to be an issue. The waistband is comfortable and does not sag, and the chamois feels a little more comfortable for longer distances than the chamois on my name-brand shorts. I'm not sure if that's due to the contouring or the nature of the padding itself. I often find myself using Baleaf shorts for my longer rides due to the comfort of the chamois. And the legs on these shorts do not ride up. While my name-brand shorts also have leg grips, I still have to do a leg adjustment at least once or twice during particularly hot/sweaty rides. So far, I haven't had to fiddle with these at all. They stay put during the entire ride. I also love the pockets on the side for extra storage, and they'll easily hold some additional nutrition or other essentials.I needed an extra pair of shorts in my rotation since I usually ride 4 times per week and I'm very happy I decided to purchase this new pair from Baleaf. I'm 5'1" tall, weigh around 90 pounds, and have a 27" waist and a 32" hip. The XS is a good fit for me. I wash all of my workout clothing with a detergent specifically formulated for exercise gear and I hang my cycling shorts/jerseys to dry. I have found my other Baleaf gear to be durable if cared for properly.

Comfortable. The interior pad is pretty thick so recommend for longer rides rather than short ones. I like the length of the leg, it isn't too long nor too short. Hits more around mid thigh. The material is a good quality. All around a decent bike short for the price.

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS ITEM. WHEN I TOOK THE BIKE SHORTS OUT OF THE BAG, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. THEY LOOKED VERY SHORT AND I KNEW I HAD TO RETURN THEM. BUT, I TRIED THEM ON AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY FIT PERFECTLY (SO YOU KNOW I WILL BE KEEPING THEM.) THEY FEEL AND LOOK GREAT. THE FABRIC IS VERY SOFT AND THEY ARE EASY TO TAKE OF, THE PADDING IS NICE AND THICK, NO PAIN IN THESE. IF YOU PLAN TO BIKE THIS SUMMER PURCHASE A COUPLE OF BIKE SHORTS THAT YOU WILL ENJOY. BY-THE-WAY THEY COME IN GREAT COLORS

Started riding again recently - forgot how sore it can make your bum, so happy to have a good cushiony shirt to wear. The thigh grips stitched into the shorts work well. Good overall material and stitch quality. I also like that the waist is high and the deep phone pocket.

shorter than i’d like for long distance biking. also the seams are pilling and the grip doesn’t do much to prevent from riding up on the thighs. the padding is at least good and comfortable for 20+ mile rides.

Bike shorts to fit the plus size woman! Great!

Provides comfort to the areas in question when riding long miles on your bike. However; they recommend to upsize because of the short inseam length! Speaking for women who have a smaller waist and bigger hips. I think buying your normal size is better. I went up to an XL and found myself pulling on the waist line during my TD 5 Boro Bike Tour this past weekend. The padded buttocks area kept getting stuck to the front of my seat as well! Probably due to the size. It’s a wonderful pair of biking 4D padded shorts as these are my first ones ever purchased. But wish they weren’t so big for me.
