Aero Tech Men's Pro Compression Shorts, UNPADDED 8 Panel Short - BLACK

These are very comfortable shorts. They are not padded, and I use them for the rowing machine at my fitness center. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Not much out there for unpadded cycling shorts and these are very good. Comfortable for a long day of recumbent cyclin. Comfortable, true to size (I'm 6'1", 195 and XL fit perfectly) and nothing to complain about. A few things that would make them 5 stars . . . The leg bottom hem can ride up a bit when riding. Not as bad as no gripper shorts but not as good as some others. Second and related, would love to see a wide compression band at the leg bottom like some of the top padded cycling shorts - Garneau etc. Not a good choice if you're modest - the thin fabric doesn't leave much to the imagination but then again, I like the feel precisely because they don't have the bulky padded diaper up front! Bought 1 and have been back for several more. More colors would be nice but now I'm just being picky.

I ride a recumbent, and I just bought two more pairs. Bent riders don't need padding in the crotch, and padded shorts just make the rider hotter and sweatier. These are very comfortable and durable. Not recommended for upright cycle use.

Great short for recumbent cycling!
Would be nice if the material in the crotch was a bit thicker or had a light piece of fabric - leaves nothing to the imagination - I wear light wt. gym shorts over them.

Fit very well. Works well is you don't need padded shorts.

Very pleased with the product. After the purchase of the 1st pair I purchased two additional pairs of shorts.

great fit, comfortable, leg bottoms not to tight or to loose, very good quality

Good quality and price. Very satisfied. Will purchase again as needed.

I've searched high and low for a quality cycling short without a padded behind. I find that padded shorts hold in too much moisture, and irritate my skin, and prefer the feel of an unpadded short while riding a leather saddle. This is the only short I could find that has a fairly long inseam, does not have a seam running in the sit bone ares, gives adequate compression, is made with a thicker, durable material, and includes leg grippers to keep everything in place. These get used a lot, both under baggy shorts, pants, as well as on their own without any overshort. I own multiple pairs of these, and have a couple thousand miles on each pair, and they are all holding up well. As a precaution, I do not put these shorts in the dryer, and always let them air dry after laundering in an effort to extend the life of the garment. Size seems to run spot on (at least for a 32" waist, Medium size). Keep up the good work, Aerotech!

Sometimes in life you just feel lucky. Well, that's how I feel about my Aero Tech Men's Pro Recumbent Compression shorts, I'm lucky and glad to have found them. They are great for wearing, while riding my many recumbent bicycles.
