If you have done a long all day ride or dual sports then you know how hard it is to get back on the dirt bike the next day. The main reason for me is due to my back side hurting from siting on the 2X4 like seat. One way to help soften the seat is by following this tip How To Soften Dirt Bike Seat. Even with the seat soften padded shorts are a must in my book. This review is on Evs TUG Impact Shorts.Fit- These shorts fit like any other padded shorts "tight". The two pair I have one has larger thigh pads which cause your riding pants to fit a little more snug. Personally I'm a smaller guy so it doesn't bother me much and I enjoy the extra protection. If you have larger thigh's keep this in mind.
Padding- The key padding for me is the removable tail bone pad, and what I call the crotch pad. Both of these pads help reduce the pain on a sit down rider like myself. Over a long 100+ mile dual sport my tail bone and a** hurt if I don't wear these pants.
Overall- If you're doing long rides on a bike with a hard seat pick up a pair of padded riding shorts. They don't cure all the discomfort but they do help. They will not only provide more comfort during the ride they also give you a little added thigh protection. Below are quick links to padded shorts and the best price we could find.
