My longest rides so far have been around 60 miles since resuming cycling last year. I tried three types of padded shorts but found them uncomfortable. They get soaked from perspiration and cause chafing.

Padded shorts are superfluous with my padded saddles so I switched to Champion brand boxer/briefs with wicking poly fabric. Very comfortable. Between the underwear and cycling baggy shorts any perspiration evaporates quickly.

I'll save the padded shorts for a firmer saddle, if I go that route. It did help with the road bike I used years ago for long rides.
