BTW, if your shorts are only lightly padded you might try these: Przewalski shorts.

I hadn't planned to buy another pair of shorts after just getting the Black Bibs (which are excellent for the money). But the Przewalski shorts popped up on my Facebook feed for only $5 and change on a one-day sale. I got 'em Thursday or Friday. Wore 'em three times this weekend, twice for indoor trainer rides of 60 and 90 minutes, and Saturday on a 20 mile ride. They're weird and really comfortable.

Weird because of little things they do, like a pad that's different from anything else I've seen or used. It's really dense and firm, with dimples like a golf ball -- not so much thicker than other pads, but much denser and more resilient. Should be comfortable with very firm saddles. Might be too much padding for padded saddles.

The regular price is a good value and the vendor (I think it's sold by Spotti) has been offering various discount codes, like a second pair for 50% off, that sort of thing. I just lucked into the $5 discount code last week and gave 'em a try. So far I like 'em at least as well as my AeroTech Pro shorts, although the padding is completely different.
