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.
