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.

Good fit, they don't ride up your leg but because of my big belly the will roll down a little at the waste. Love that they are made in PGH.

Excellent quality and fit.

I've been riding a recumbent bicycle for 4 months and had always used padded Bib shorts. I started to get chaffing in the groin area due to the chamois padding / stitching. After reviewing some online forums for recumbent bikes, they recommended non padded spandex shorts. I found these and have been using them for 3 weeks now, no chaffing anymore! So far they've been great for my recumbent bicycle and seem pretty durable too - no signs of wear and tear.

very satisfied with comfortability and design

Great quality but they run a bit small. They fit right just smallish.
Like them because I prefer no pad.

I've been wearing these for all my recumbent riding for 6 years and they look and feel as good today as the day I bought them!

I am devoted cyclist and I got these for exercise classes and to wear as liners under casual shorts or pants as needed. I am really picky about my gear so here are my thoughts.

What I didn't like - they are a little scratchy compared to similar shorts like Pearl Izumi. They feel hot when you first put them on. They also have seams in different places than I am used to. That being said, they wore well and vented well once I got going. The seams didn't bother me.

What I did like - these are pretty heavy duty and should last a long time (you shouldn't have any stray inappropriate hairs sticking out). They fit was also very good - the fit my giant biker quads without riding up. They were also plenty high in the back to prevent more unsightliness when down in the drops.

My favorite thing is the versatility. They are comfortable enough to ride 25 miles in 85 degrees and 85 percent humidity (which I did Saturday). Without the pad, you can even jump straight into yoga or the pool with them. You just put these on and go.

great

Shorts work very well and are comfortable also they do not move like others I have tried.

Great

Great firm support. Feels terrific to wear and are very comfortable!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking for a pair of compression shorts that have some weight to them and these are them. They don't feel cheap like some other brands.

What else can I say, these shorts are comfortable, great looking and fairly priced. I am waiting for the bib version. These are even better than the competing brands for recumbent shorts, NOT the jerseys, which you should get some much pretty ones some place else.

But as far as the shorts go, these are my very favorites.

Hi .. well these shorts are really mission dependent, i.e. are you cycling or a different use? As a cyclist, I only purchase 8 panel and heavy weight material with a pad of my preference, and so unless your seat is padded, I would think twice about buying these short. However, I wanted heavy duty compression short for working out, and play sports and for that purpose, I found these short adequate... 8 panel provides better flexibility in the material and the heavier compression of the cycling short works fine for me.

Great product

As a recumbent triker i was looking for shorts that would not "creep" up as i peddled These work perfectly.

Too much compression in the legs. The grippers are enough to keep the legs in place. They performed well in late spring but the last time I rode in hot humid weather for 3 hours. I developed a friction burn/rash on my front thighs. So more generous spandex material may help.

The shorts are really good I have several pair no need to ever look anywhere else.

I have been looking for a pair of cycling shorts without the padding in them. After trying several different brands I found the Aero's to be excellent! I would recommend them to any cyclist. I ride a recumbent a mountain and a commuter bike. The shorts work out for all.

I love the looks and feel but the big seam right down the front and back on a recumbent won't work. So I returned them. Riding shorts for recumbents require more then just removing the pad you have pursuer and rub spots just like everyone else. Put a soft liner on that big seam that would rub you raw in the front. Then put a slippery vented liner for the back of the legs and for the buns to
