Pearl iZUMi Men's Quest Cycling Short

This is the most comfortable & best performing pair of cycling shorts I've owned. The last pair of another make had a similar style of padding that I got from my bike shop. These far surpass those and at a better price. Delivery was unexpectedly quick as well. I'll be buying a 2nd pair of these rather than switching between this better pair and my older breaking down shorts

There's plenty of padding in the chamois but it's flexible enough to move with you. I'm still not ready to try out bibs, so a good waistband is worth looking for, especially on long rides. The waistband on these are more comfortable than a pair that I own that cost twice as much. Good leg hems, too. They stay in place and don't feel constrictive.
