When riding, I tend to wear a pair of 3/4 trousers with padded shorts underneath - I have one pair of cheapo Karrimor Sports Direct cycling shorts and a pair of Endura padded undershorts - basically cotton boxers with a padding layer.
The Karrimor shorts aren't great - pinch a bit around the thighs and not amazingly breathable, but the padding is fairly sturdy compared to the Endura shorts which have rather thin padding that gets a bit uncomfortable after a while.
Can anyone recommend a reasonably affordable pair of shorts that have particularly good padding? Would be good to have something a bit better perhaps for my long ride next weekend! I'll be wearing them underneath trousers so particularly high quality racing wear isn't really important - comfort over long distance is the key.
