Seems like it would help keep the shorts from getting stinky.
Edit 1: friction is the answer
Edit 2: sorry for this edit – i was trying to make a new post, but Blorp for some reason took me to editing this one instead. Trying to put it back the way it was…


I thought the padding was to not get back pain. Right now I’m limited to about 30 min on the bike before i have to call it without shorts. With padded shorts i can go like an hour or more. This is mountain biking.
