Padded shorts

[Dunlopdave]

Hi all
I'm still trying to complete the 50 mile ride, but every time I get to around 35m I just can't sit on the saddle it's really getting annoying as I have plenty of energy left.Are padded shorts any good as I found gel cover worse.Any advice folks???

Same here with the gel cover, totally useless.

I use Dare2b padded shorts and they work well for me.

To be honest though I think that time in the saddle is the main thing.

Forget the gel cover... totally useless. Keep the padding in your shorts, not on the seat is my advice. As Gary states, time in the saddle is the main thing as you will get used to it after a while, but I wear something padded for all but the very shortest journeys.

Thanks for the comments guys I'm going to try padded shorts for a while as i spend lots of time on the saddle but not getting used to it!
