Just looking at the Skins offers that are around at the moment and was wondering if they had padding for your rear as do other cycling specific shorts.
If they dont do you still have to wear them to the skin with no undercrakers? What the layering process?
I usually wear a padded short and then some baggies over the top which have no padding. If the Skins dont have padding it may prove to be a sore purchase.
the normal skins compression wear

is not padded, and has several seams under the arse/groin which are uncomfortable for anything but a short ride. They do padded bike shorts but they're not cheap.

I've used the standard stuff with bike shorts under them and it worked OK. Not tried the padded ones yet
Wow I hadn't realised some stretchy lycra could be that expensive.
Thanks for the info, reckon I'll steer clear.
i've got some of the cycle specific padded stuff and they are great ... but expensive 😉
very comfy
cycle (C400?) bib shorts here. Nice synthetic chamois in there. I wear these under baggies (no undercrackers either).
