Today, let's take a look at what knowledge you need to know when choosing cycling pants, and how you can be a professional and fashionable biker.

The importance of cycling pants

For friends who are always clamoring about "cycling butt pain", in addition to changing a comfortable cushion, the best way is to wear a pair of suitable cycling pants.

Generally speaking, cycling pants are tight-fitting, and a layer of sponge pad is sewn into the crotch. In addition to absorbing sweat and reducing wind resistance, it also reduces hip damage and improves riding comfort.



The functions of cycling pants are as follows:
• Wrap the leg muscles to reduce the energy lost by muscle shaking during exercise.
• Reduce vibration, can ensure that it does not slide back and forth on the seat, and reduce energy loss.
• Protect the perineum area but remember to choose a sponge pad. The silicone pad is hot and easy to hip bone.

The material of the cycling pants is convenient to drain the sweat from the body to the outside and keep the skin dry.

The inner thigh of the cycling pants and the part in contact with the seat bag are made of special materials, which can avoid friction between the upper tube and the inner thigh during bending.

The bib cycling pants do not tie the waist, which can ensure the strength of the core muscle group while ensuring smooth abdominal breathing. If possible, you should try to buy bib cycling pants.

How to choose cycling pants?

Choosing cycling pants is very important. Picking the good ones will get twice the result with half the effort, and picking the ones that are not suitable for you can only be counterproductive.

• Choose good quality
Just like buying clothes and shoes, cycling pants also pay attention to material and quality, at least to make them "value for money." Generally speaking, the mainstream materials of cycling pants are POLYESTER, POLYAMIDE, SPANDEX, and COOLMAX. Choose according to your own budget. It can be breathable and quick to dry.

• Choose the right size
In addition to the material, everyone should also consider the size when choosing cycling pants.

Cycling pants must be worn with the right size and elasticity. This will not only fix the cushion in the right position, and help your butt avoid torture, but also relieve muscle fatigue, reduce wind resistance, and move more easily. Oolong with trouser legs rolled into the chainring appeared.

• Best reflective
Generally speaking, good cycling pants must have three major protective properties, the material is comfortable, the other is elastic enough for self-cultivation, and the third is reflective, which is especially important for night riding enthusiasts!

Reflective cycling clothes and cycling pants can refract the light, giving a certain warning to nearby drivers, cyclists, and passers-by to prevent accidents due to being invisible.

Something else

Cycling pants are a good thing, but if you choose the wrong one or use it improperly, it is easy to backfire. One of the first is the cleaning of cycling pants.

The trouser pads of cycling pants are easy to breed bacteria, so pay attention to cleaning and disinfection after each wearing. In order to avoid distortion of cycling pants, it is recommended that you wash them by hand. After washing, wring out the water by hand and let it dry. Never use a washing machine to spin dry.

In addition, everyone knows the importance of sun protection when riding in summer. Many people have such thoughts, "I don't need sunscreen on my thighs if I wear pants anyway"?

In fact, except for the expensive cycling pants, most of them use a coating on the surface of the fabric to resist ultraviolet rays, and this function will be weakened by continuous washing.

When the sun is shining in the summer, go out for a ride. Don't be too troublesome and put on sunscreen all over your body~

When wearing cycling pants, try to avoid the following:
1. Wear underwear and cycling pants, which are very unfriendly to the ass.
2. Wear silicone cycling pants. Although silica gel is a good material for shock absorption, it is not suitable for areas with more apocrine glands.
3. Think of compression pants as cycling pants. Isn't the cycling pants just for the cushion?
4. Buy cycling pants with waist rope, even elastic bands are much better than cycling pants with waist rope.
5. The saddle is not adjusted properly, too high, too low, or level.
