Common Questions

Do I wear underwear under compression shorts?

Similar to the above answer, we don’t recommend you wear underwear. Chafing, moisture-wicking and comfort are all compromised by adding an unnecessary layer of fabric.

Can you wear cycling shorts under jeans?

Yes, although we would not recommend you do so for long at all. For instance, if you plan to then ride in jeans for some time, you could end up feeling very uncomfortable and perhaps even damp. If you’re just putting the jeans over your kit to stay warm after a ride, it’s no problem. Although it might be a tight squeeze given the padding!
