About this part

The MSR Strike padded riding short, worn under a riding pant. The padding is where it counts on a bike: articulated EVA at the thighs and a dual density pad over the tail bone, which is the impact most riders take sitting down on a rough trail.

The shell is a breathable stretch Lycra for comfort and durability, and the padding is vented so it flows air rather than trapping heat against the skin. The waistband is two inches wide, and the seams are flat-stitched to minimize irritation under a riding pant. Three part numbers are listed. A padded short does not replace a proper set of hip protection, but it takes the sting out of a long day.

Questions riders actually ask

What areas do these padded shorts actually protect?

Vented EVA foam sits in impact areas: articulated padding over the thighs and a dual-density pad at the tailbone. The venting in the padding is there to keep air moving.

Are these shorts worn under my riding pants?

Yes, they are a base layer short. Stretch Lycra construction and flat-stitched seams are meant to sit against skin without irritation, with a comfortable 2-inch waistband.

How should these fit if I ride long days?

Close, since the Lycra is stretchy and the padding needs to stay over the thigh and tailbone. Sizes here are by measurement, so use the size chart rather than your street short size.
