do these shorts have padding in the but for the hard seats they put on bikes?

Yes they come with a chamois but it is not very thick like in high end riding shorts.

Yes, there is padding in the butt. It is adequate for my butt, and mine is pretty skinny... I can't verify that it will work for yours!

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.

Yes they do. They clip to the shorts. Padding is a bit thicker than my street bike shorts.

The padding (a.k.a. chamois) is a synthetic material that I'm very happy with. It cushions well and endures machine washing. I've been using my original pair about once a week (in a rotation with my other bike shorts), April through October, for five years and they're still almost as good as new.

I have several pairs of padded bike shorts and am a long distance rider. It is definitely not too thick. I don't think anyone makes a bike short that is too thick. My other shorts have thicker padding. These shorts will not be good for long rides. Also, these appear to run big and the material is very thin. Too big means the shorts will shift and the crotch will bunch up. This will cause hot spots and rubbing in sensitive spots.

They sure do. It is removeable so you can also wear it with other shorts. I've found that the liner is the most important aspect of the shorts as they comfortably fit under most of my hiking shorts (some North Face and Kuhl shorts that I already owned). As such, I can now use those to bike in as well. Hope this helps.

@Christina: Yes - this seat is padded. My daughter loves it. She has been riding her Strider since she was 2 yrs old and is still riding it over 2 yrs later (along with her "pedal bike"). The extended seat really gave it a lot of extra use.

Yes but they do not have padding on the outside thigh and hip area like sliding shorts do. I use these for MMA fighting. I love them. Mediums are between 32 and 34.

The shorts are padded, served our kids well on tandem & tag-a-long. Just like typical adult shorts.

Hhhmmm, how to answer this since I have never worn bike shorts before... If you are wondering if it will feel like wearing the old style Maxi Pads - it isn't. Actually, I forget that I am wearing bike shorts during my ride and it prevents the soarness/rubbing that I was experiencing where my legs meet my hips. In my humble opinion, these are perfect. I wouldn't want to walk around in them all day, but for riding they are just the thing I needed.

No, but they are covered by the fabric. The seat has a very nice cushion for the bottom. I am very satisfied with the product!

As an avid bike rider I know there aren't many 'comfortable' bike seats. But you can get gel-filled seat covers or other cushioned covers at Amazon or most bike stores or sites. Try a wider seat as well.

The bike shorts are skin tight so I think they would, but the padding in them would not make them comfortable to wear all day.

Yes, there is some type of hard armor in the needs and at the lower back for protection. They are certainly water resistant, but I haven't ridden in a downpour yet to see if they are water proof.

Yes they are fairly comfortable. They have a good thick padding on the seat and seem to be holding up well.

No, my son plays hockey so no extra padding, but they were good for what we needed.

Best answer I can give you is "maybe". The depression in the middle of the seat takes the pressure off the urethra and a nerve that is there next to it. If that is what was causing discomfort from other seats, then yes. But that doesn't sound like what you are describing. Also, compared to the hard leather and steel saddles of some bikes, the gel padding will make your "sit bones" a bit more comfortable. Again, not what you are describing. The seat is not expensive. You might want to give it a try and see if it helps. I hope this response helped.

Yes the seats are padded, so is the backrest. They are actually quite comfortable.

yes they do. they have 2 cut outs in the middle. I actually modified my cover to fit only 2 seat by folding & sewing away the center seat & it still worked great for the 60 of my 60/40 split seat. These aren't as heavy duty as they used to be, but I really love all the pockets and they do protect the seats well
