What about these? Doesn't mention any padding but looks as if they are?

We use lycra, can't beat a good pair of lycra shorts, we have always gone with Endura, not the most expensive but we have no trouble with them and, when he isn't busting his bikes my hubby uses them every day. I've never tried bib shorts, not sure how quick they are to get off when your caught short on a long ride though

It's a bit easier for us blokes - I just nip behind a hedge and pull my bibshorts out and down as appropriate without actually taking them off. Although you do need material with a bit of "give" in it for this, plus it only applies to Number Ones.

Not sure about bib shorts... I've only ever used "normal" ones but have both kinds of longs and although it's true that the bib type are more comfortable at the waist, they definitely make your lower back more sweaty which I really hate. Not such a problem with tights as I only wear them when it's freezing anyway, but I don't fancy any extra layers on my back in the summer time.

All these POVs are useful. Thanks. Keep them coming
so far I think I'm veering towards padded shorts rather than bibs. Too many 1970s wrestling World of Sport Saturday afternoon vibes coming off them for me.
Are padded liners ok for the purpose i've described as they'll never see the light of day?

Ok based on this thread, just bought these as my first foray into the world of lycra.

Thank you all for the advice. Chap said they'd barely been worn so all good?
