Padded shorts recommendation

[DCBassman]

Having been off the bike for so long, and lost weight, my backside is not coping well with cycling. Plainly there's a new breaking-in period to be got through, but need a pair of decent padded shorts in the meantime. Your recommendations gratefully researched!

Decathlon does me fine.

Decathlon, or Planet X Carnac shorts.

Those listed above plus Galibier or Shutt if you're a bit spendier.

Have to say, Shutt are the comfiest shorts that I own.

Also another recommendation for Cycology bib shorts.

Lusso are my fav shorts. Made in Manchester.

If this thread runs long enough we should eventually get every brand named!

I had a pair of cube and Halfords shorts on over the weekend both were fine. On a brooks saddle though!

I'm pretty happy with my GCN core range shorts - but TBH, I haven't really tried any others as a comparison.

I'm certainly comfortable in them for rides of 2-3 hours. The only time I've done a 4hour+ ride this year my sit-bones were starting to feel it a bit, but if you're not used to being in the saddle that long, I'm not sure many shorts would help.

I'll add Sugoi, Gore and Assos (but can only speak to ladies waist versions )

I think my Humvees came with a pad which you can take out. Recommended.
