baleaf4D 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!

Obsessed. I just started mountain biking and wanted something comfortable without dropping $$ on a big-name brand right away—these delivered. The padding is super cushioned without feeling bulky, and the fit is surprisingly flattering for bike shorts.They stay in place during long rides and don’t ride up or bunch. The material is breathable and dries quickly (key when you’re sweating on the trail). I’ve worn them on a few rocky routes and my tailbone thanked me.If you’re new to cycling or just want a great value pair, these totally hold their own. Will definitely be grabbing a second pair.

I really like these. I am an avid bike rider, but it hurt my butt when riding. When I received these, I chuckled a little because they were so padded! They just looked funny. After bike riding, there was no soreness and they were perfect. I highly recommend!

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.

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

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.

In regular shorts I’m between a L and XL depending on the style. I sized up to an XL on these figuring they’d run a little tighter than regular shorts. These fit me perfectly - not too big or too small. I’m 5’5” and 185 for reference. I love the length on these - they are long enough to not ride up but short enough to let my legs breathe during a ride. They are also short enough that I can throw on a wrap skirt over them if we are stopping somewhere mid-ride where I’d rather not have my shorts exposed. The pockets on the side are nice and deep as well as stretchy. They easily store my phone, a towel, and anything else I need to put there. The silicone on the leg bands keep the legs from rolling up. The waist is a little lower than what I’m used to in a bike short (even other Baleaf bike shorts), but it hasn’t rolled down on me. The padding is very nice and although I’ve not washed this pair repeatedly, I’ve had luck with my other Baleaf bike shorts not decompressing after many uses. The way the padding sits in the front does give a “camel toe” look, so if you’re concerned about this you can easily throw a different pair of light shorts over these or wear a wrap skirt as I mentioned above.
