And despite my enquires I haven't found anywhere in Australia that sells them - any help? The only thing I've learned is that its best to ask for 'cycling underwear' rather than 'padded underwear' if you're at all concerned about getting strange looks from shop assistants!!
Yeah I know exactly what your talking about. I know met the lady that owns the company that makes them. She sent me some to try. In theory it really should work. I mean they are kinda like white biker shorts. But I haven't really got to try them, I mean on a long trip. On my tour this summer, I just wore more normal bike shorts and had some board shorts I could though over them if need be.
