baleaf Men's Padded Bike Shorts Cycling Road Biking Riding Bicycle Cycle Wear Pockets UPF 50+ MTB Accessories Tights

When rides stretch into hours, bike shorts stop being apparel and start being equipment. These Baleaf men’s 3D padded cycling shorts deliver exactly what endurance riding demands: consistent comfort, practical design, and dependable performance. The padding strikes a smart balance—supportive without feeling bulky—and remains comfortable deep into longer rides. The fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking, and offers UPF 50+ sun protection, which is especially appreciated on exposed routes and summer training days. The shorts stay in place without pinching or riding up, even as fatigue sets in. The pockets are a useful addition, providing easy access to small essentials without interfering with pedaling. After repeated rides and washes, the material and stitching have held up well, maintaining both fit and function. Bottom line: These are well-designed, endurance-ready cycling shorts that prioritize comfort and practicality over flash. A solid choice for long road or MTB rides and a dependable addition to any training rotation. Highly recommended.

I am 60 years old, 250 lbs, 6'4" and bought an XL. It fits well. I would buy the same size again. I wear Under Armour shorts underneath (Under Armour Men's Tech 6-inch Boxerjock) I have used the Baleaf shorts for the last two months, for rides ranging 30-40 miles and 2'00" to 2'40" per ride, three times per week, in spring and summer weather. The shorts were comfortable. They neither ride down in back or ride up on the legs. They breathe well and wick away moisture. The padding kept me comfortable even over long distances and very comfortable in the crotch. The front pockets are great, easy to access while riding but holding their contents firmly. The padding tended to get stuck on the seat pommel discounting and sometimes mounting, requiring a 'double clutch' movement to free the shorts from the seat. Not a big problem. The shorts go into the washing machine frequently (hot wash temp), and they are holding up just fine. Having now worn these shorts many times in a variety of weather conditions and over long distances, I am very happy with the product and recommend it unconditionally. Good value for the money. I will buy another pair soon.

This is a good short, for the money. It fits true to size and is quite comfortable. The padding is a little thicker than I prefer, but I have already bought a second pair, and plan to buy more. I have used them on several rides of about forty miles in length, and they preformed fine So I would have no problem recommending them to others.

The Baleaf shorts are the best bicycling shorts ever. I've been riding for 40 years. I used to buy only Pearl Izumi. I would spend hundreds of dollars a year for their shorts, bibs and jerseys. Expensive, but it was worth it--in the past. The most recent pair of Pearl Izumi Attack shorts I bought from Amazon had crummy grippers and a weak elastic waist. They bunched when I pulled them on. I immediately returned them and bought the Baleaf. Baleaf: Half the price and twice the quality--great fabric, quality materials, smooth fit, and pockets!! I'll never buy Pearl Izumi again--a formerly great brand. Must now be owned by private equity or something. Pearl Izumi lost a customer for life and Baleaf gained one. Highly recommended

The BALEAF Men’s Padded Bike Shorts have completely transformed my cycling experience. The padding is just the right thickness—providing support and comfort for long rides without feeling bulky. I’ve used them on both short commutes and long-distance rides, and they’ve kept me comfortable and chafe-free. The fit is snug but not restrictive, and the fabric is breathable, which helps keep me cool even during intense rides. The waistband stays in place, and I love that the shorts don’t ride up during my ride. Overall, these bike shorts offer great value and performance, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, padded shorts for cycling!

i now own 2 pair. These are perfect for me. I have a 34 waist and bought medium cycling shorts. They are comfortable and fit snug which means the padding stays in place. A few cyclists tried to get me to try bib shorts, but I'm so happy with the performance and quality of these I'll pass on the bibs for now. I hand wash my shorts right after my rides and they air dry so I expect they will last a long time. My first pair I've had over a year and the other just 2 months.

The shorts fit very well, and the padding was helpful for additional comfort. I especially appreciated the two deep pockets, which are handy for carrying identification and phone if I'm away from the Trike. The shorts were well worth the cost.

I've been using these regularly since I bought them. The material is made of good quality, the stitching is solid (no stray threads). The padding is perfect for long days on the saddle. These shorts also have a handy little pocket where you can store your phone during the ride. The pocket is pretty accessible, but at the same time, it's secure as well. I never felt unsafe about my phone being in that pocket (didn't feel like it would fall off). Overall, it's a great pair of cycling shorts for regular use, and is good value for money. 8.5/10, woould recommend.
