| Kids bike shorts are starting to get real. It's only been recently that
kids bike shorts are being manufactured with good materials and decent
seat padding. Most kids don't use or probably don't need a pair of real
functional bike shorts if they don't ride for extended periods of time.
But for those kids that can keep up with their parents or are on
organized rides of longer than 10 miles in a forward position, good bike
shorts are essential. The same design and materials in
adult shorts for comfort and
function will provide the same protections in kids shorts. It's best to
look for a medium weight material and to
inspect the seat pad for thickness and durability.
You don't want a thick pad that won't breathe and release heat and
moisture. The construction is also important so that there are no areas
that will cause chaffing or irritation. Look for shorts from a reputable
company that offers more than just a few items for kids and the shorts
should be child specific and not scaled down adult shorts. You can find
padded shorts for road, mountain and BMX/Downhill applications. The
baggy shorts that offer a padded liner or removable padded liner are an
excellent choice to get your kids started with wearing a padded short. |
