Talking about padding

You know how it goes, when people start to speak about padding for their cycling short. 'It's all personal', is probably the most heard sentence. Well, maybe! Maybe not, I would say! Research at the University of Padova has shown that there are very little differences in the bones in the human body. That means that one may be more heavy than the other one, but the position where the bones would rest on the saddle, are almost indifferent for the caucasian race! What this research says, is that one pad could suit everyone. Be aware that there IS a difference between men and women! A women with a pad for men would hurt herself. Then, there is another important factor, that plays a role when chosing a pad: your goals!

The most important factor that plays a role when chosing a pad, is your goal. If you are a professional cyclist, in the saddle for 6 hours or more, you will definitely need another pad, than your friend who is cycling from home to work (assuming this is less than 6 hours ;) ). We recommend you to get 2 shorts if your cycling trips vary. Each with the padding that suits for the trip you are about to make on your bike. Not because we are commercial people and because we want to sell more, but simply because this suits your needs.

Then, we have a female pad, which is developed to protect different areas. See, why would you accept some high level explanation as to what and why you have to be protected? You would not. I also wouldn't. So, I met with the people at Elastic Interface in Italy, the best producer of padding available and collected information with regards to why each pad is designed in a certain way. And, I would like to share it with you here!

I will just mention the name of the pad, and then a link to the page at Elastic Interface, where you can find all detailed information. So no bla-bla. Just straight forward insight in why we work with Elastic Interface and which pads we work with. For your protection. So no cheap Asian product, or copy of a copy. We only work with top class materials!
