“Okay for new rider”

“These are my first pair of bike shorts and I bike about 10 miles once or twice a week. The size seems true. The padding feels like a foam and you can pinch it together and your fingertips touch so it's not too thick. It does help my newbie (though 40+ year old), bony bottom, but if I were to be biking more often or longer distances, I might want more padding or something with a gel. The shorts are comfortable in warm and cool temps and I wear them under other shorts or pants.”
