River Rat Posted December 20, 2011 Share This is a question directed more at the fairer sex but I would value comments from the gents as well. My wife has been contemplating buying shorts with the gel padding but she's not convinced that they are worth the higher price. Anyone had any experience with this type of padding?

River Rat Posted December 21, 2011 Share Seems like nobody uses these maybe that's the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted December 21, 2011 Share Santini's gel padding is really good.!A number of other manufacters (recently some local too) have tried gel with limited success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Rat Posted December 22, 2011 Share check your PMGot it, but I'm trying find out whether the gel padding works or not before she buys anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXEONDO Posted December 22, 2011 Share Gel padding is so last centuary. Gel is used on certain handelbar tape and gloves maybe....not the most comfortable for use in shorts or bibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted December 22, 2011 Share It's a crappy marketing ploy. Don't waste the money. Rather get a proper bike setup done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zues-zues Posted December 22, 2011 Share Some of my shorts have gel padding and others don't. Gel padding is marginally more comfortable, but it's the time in the saddle that gets to your "bits". I've done one DC in a non-gel padded shorts and two in a gel padded shorts and to be honest, there wasn't a significant differance in comfort. But then again, shorts & paddings are a personal choice.
