Pros: These have some seriously chunky padding, with four front/side panels and one large one covering your coccyx and bum. All are made of flexible energy-absorbing armour (which meets official EU safety standards) and all are removable.
Cons: These are the bulkiest and heaviest shorts we tested, and although they’re great at absorbing impacts, you can’t help but notice them when you ride.
