Cycling pants

Ok, I know there a few of us on here who cycle a lot, I'm looking to get myself some new long cycling pants, I already have a pair but they've got that padded bottom that looks like you've not made the toilet in time, can anyone recommend a decent pair, oh they have to be black too as the ones I have are a cross between an electric and dark blue which does give a few members of staff here a right laugh when I'm wearing them.

Ta muchly

Why would you want to purchase cycling gear that doesn't have a padded arse? Have you experienced saddle sore before?

I've been cycling for 20 years plus, I don't get saddle sore, the padded pants aren't that comfortable for me.

Maybe you've not found the right padded shorts? bio racer, castelli and Rapha are all really good for me, not cheap but will last well.

Visit the local bike shop and try them on, most have very funny/small sizing and you would need to find what's the best fit for you.

Gore are great

My advice is keep the pants but wear some cool looking baggy shorts like us mountain bikers

Unless you are racing, tight fitting cycle gear is pointless have no idea why the roadies wear it other than a spandex fetish

Don't be afraid of the dark side, no idea why mtb riders insist on wearing stuff that gets caught on your saddle and slows you down.

Unless it's to cover the bulge for some reason

I wear it for speed, but also like the feel of it too..... oh I'm so confused right now
