This is Aero Tech Designs’ Men’s Top Shelf Padded Cycling Short in black, a compression short with the Top Shelf chamois rated for mid-distance rides. The multi-panel spandex follows the pedal stroke and the leg bands hold without digging.
It covers daily training loops, commutes, and weekend club rides — the rides that make up most saddle time — with padding that holds its shape wash after wash. Riders stocking a drawer of dependable shorts start here.
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.
