It really depends on your budget and your needs. If you want to be in the saddle for several hours at a time, try and go for the best quality you can afford. Prices start at around $20 / £20 and can go up to around $80/£80 or more. Generally, you do get what you pay for, but you can certainly get a decent pair that are comfortable for long rides somewhere in the middle of that price range – our Editor’s Choice – the VeloVixen Padding Cycling Knickers are a great option. Look out for offers too – you can currently pick up both the Vulpine and the Gore shorts at a really decent discount.
