Do these tights come with a gel pad? Like cycling tights should?

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but these tights have the same kind of chamois pad that my bike shorts (my very expensive ones) have. They're definitely "cycling tights" and not just running tights.

Yes, they're soft and flexible and not very thick; yet the gel really protects. I wear them every day with all types of shoes. They have been my savior. I tried all kinds of products and this is the frst one that really works and is comfortable. I always wear hose or knee-highs when I wear dress shoes, so the pads stay in place. The hose also helps to slip your shoes on. I honestly don't know from experience how difficult it would be to get into your dress shoes without hose, but I'm sure it would work.

If you really want calf and knee compression fully then you can buy the calf skins. These tights help to increase my bloodflow and help me to feel more powerful especially when doing legs. I do not have any calf injuries or knee injuries but I use these for Spin and Heavy Leg Days.

Mine came with the pads I would contact the company they will probably just send you some

Yes, they do. I am thinking of buying different ones, however, as these are not the greatest. They have noticeable seams and what looks like pulls in the fabric.

I have the same question. Did you get the tights? If so, what did you order and how do they fit?

Yes, they do; the pads are not leather, and may not stand up to heavy or abusive use, but they do have pads.

No gel but super comfortable. I didn't notice it being especially hot in the summer but it is even nicer now that we have cold weather.

Yes they do. They have two which helps them keep them in place. They do slide down a bit but nothing like any of the other kind I have use. I have one on each knee when they are flaring up. They usually smooth the flare up down and I can go 2-3 days or more without wearing them again.

Yes, these have a removable padded liner. As for bike seats, test a few and find the one that best fits your "sit bones". Do some research on this, it will make your riding soo much more comfortable than any padding.

No I do not use a gel pad but l I can say this is the BEST bike seat I have ever used. I love it

Yes they have padding; I love them. The padding is not super thick but definitely works.

Yes, these are gel pearl pads. They come with a cloth cover you can wash as well. I'd use a disposable pad between the two.

No, they are layered to suit your needs. I used two at once. The gel sticks. Only draw back is that they aren't that wide.

No. The gel seat is an hour glass-shaped gel pad that protects your back and bottom. The molded plastic seat shown in the picture is NOT included. The gel pad is pretty high quality.

I don't use them. I have seen them. I bought these for my Mom. I would say NO, they are like a huge pad.

No, but now that you mention it, I had to look, and none of the 8 other pairs of cycling shorts I own (cheap or expensive) have a removable liner.....I don't think i've ever seen a pair with a removable liner.
