Just a quick note to tell everyone that these Under Armor compression shorts did the job of preventing monkey butt and butt burn. Did a few hundred miles this weekend and it was a relief to finally get comfy in the saddle!



$19 for shorts compared to $300 or more for a new saddle is a no brainer in my book!

 

Where do you buy these shorts?

 

Walmart has the Franklin brand and any of the sporting goods stores will have them in the baseball/softball section. Spend the money, well worth it.

Picked mine up at the Ft. Eustis Post Exchange.

 

When I wrote about compression shorts several years ago, folks here ridiculed me. It's funny now to see so many jumping on the bandwagon.

Under Armour are the most expensive compression shorts on the market. Others such as Champion, Franklin, Russell, etc. are priced half as much. They're sold at Sporting Goods stores.

 

I have been using them ever since i started riding 10 or so years ago. Every time I go on a long trip, I pack more of them than underwear

 

These are the same thing as bicycling shorts, right?

 

Most places that sell athletic clothes sell them.

Got some from their website (http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/mens/apparel/underwear-and-socks/underwear?iid=99|Mens|Silo-Landing-3-Middle-4-Bottom|bottom_03||M|Underwear|C|) and love them.

 

Yep, I'ver used them for 2 trips so far. Cool in the saddle.
