What should I wear under my longs?

[Danny]

Recently bought a new pair of longs for the winter which, unlike my old pair, don't have a pad.

Should I just wear cycling shorts underneath or should I think about investing in some padded undershorts like these?

I have a couple of pairs of the Endura light ones they're pretty good,also have some dhb ones from wiggle which are cheaper but just as good if not better and they come in black which i prefer.

i just wear my normal shorts underneath. Often on the way home it's not cold enough to wear tights, so just stick with the shorts

Once it's properly cold and I won't want to take the longs off, I get extra use out of old shorts that have started to go transparent or have holes in embarassing places.

for longer rides I wear undershorts and over the tights wear the padded shorts but normally when I have my tights on i just stick my padded shorts over them

So you cycle with two pads?

Yup.

I wear my Lusso ProGel shorts whatever.

I have Tudor Longs with their own pad ( double thickness seat ).

When I wear both, I can hardly feel the saddle.

On 200 and 300 Randos, I might wear two pairs of shorts for more comfort.

+1

... and the added bonus is that you get to buy new shorts for the spring and summer!

I have a pair of Biksters I use in winter, if its really cold I wear long johns underneath them, if not i just use boxer shorts.

i bought a pair of aldi's running longs which look the part and appear good quality. decided to wear a pair of cycling shorts over them (as it looked better)... however half way in wish i had noticed the seam and put the shorts on underneath!

When it's cold here, which is far too often, I wear these http://www.antonsport.no/s/p.aspx?pid=4046&cid=70&vid=21380 under my winter longs, and knee warmers.

Above I have a merino wool long-sleeve, zip-neck top under a cycling jacket and windproof jacket!

Ear bags/muffs, headband and a buff, plus warm inners and flip-back cycling mittens.

Warm as toast and without overheating.

I wear undershorts, then the tights and then the lycra shorts, it keeps me warm and comfortable but I don't have the real cold here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
