This is Aero Tech Designs’ Men’s Gel Touring Padded Bike Short, a compression-fit cycling short with a gel-padded chamois and innovative mesh storage pockets on each thigh. The pockets hold a phone, wallet, or ride food where a jersey pocket can’t be reached, and the gel pad cushions sit bones over rough pavement.
It earns its keep on century rides, bike tours, commutes, and trainer sessions — anywhere hours in the saddle make padding and pocket access matter. The breathable spandex moves with the pedal stroke and the leg grippers keep everything in place mile after mile.
Aero Tech Designs has designed and sewn cycling apparel at its factory in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh, since the 1980s, with one of the widest size ranges in cycling.
