Trials riding shorts recommendations anyone?

I just wear bike shorts... the tight kind. I found a nice pair for $40
with gel padding 🙂

I usually wear a pair of mesh shorts or jeans overtop... not only
because you look stupid in bike shorts, but if you fall, there goes
$40.

what about baggy DH/Freeride shorts? Could I wear those over the top?

I don't think I could wear jeans in this heat...ugh.

just wear cycling shorts underneath your normal khaki (or whatever)
shorts....that's what I do, and it works fine.

Fox Racing makes some nice freeride shorts, and as a bonus, they have
removable hip pads (i'd keep'em in)!!!

I've found a good pair of cycling shorts to work best for most types of
riding. They may not be "fashionable" in the sense that younger riders
may be looking to sport but I'm more interested in comfort.

If I'm simply bombing around the neighborhood with my sons I don't care
what I'm wearing but if I'm planning a more serious ride where I plan to
be in the saddle for several hours I've found the cycling shorts with no
underwear (i'm not trying to be kinky here) combined with the use of a
chamois lube works best. This is the prescribed method for serious
cyclists and I've found it to work best when riding my uni.

A word of caution: some brands of chamois lube contain an ingredient
that is mentholated. I used this once on a 36 mile ride and my nuts
were literally roasting.

I only wear baggie pants (long ones, yes, I never ride in shorts) from
Billabong or normal jeans when riding. Baggies, however, are the best
because they are loose enough to allow movement (and protective gear)
and airflow, just the same as shorts. Any brand would do, just make sure
that the fabric is not too thin/thick and I prefer them grey because
dirt do not show that easily.

As regards underwear with your baggies, use padded bicycle shorts,
boxers or whatever you prefer. Myself, I use tight boxers.
