    sit bones not padded

      • Not Enough Padding
      • Poor Fit

      Best Uses

        Comments about Canari Gel Bike Shorts Liner - Men's:

        I was disappointed to find that the gel pad is not large enough (or positioned correctly) to fit underneath my sit bones. The padding lies under the perineum, while my sit bones sit on a hard seat. This produces unwanted pressure in sensitive areas! Ideally, the gel pad should have the thickest padding right under the sit bones and minimal padding in the perineal region. This way the sit bones are bearing the body weight instead of soft tissues.

        For reference, I'm a 6'2 175 lb male. I have a 31" waist and the medium fit well, except for the padding.

          I have owned a pair of these for a couple years now and I find them much more comfortable than the Novara liners. I use them under my winter rain tights (Pearl Izumi Amfib) and they are great for long rides.

          Comments about Canari Gel Bike Shorts Liner - Men's:

          Not a great product.

          I bought these 1 year ago, looking for something to give more padding that I could wear under regular shorts.

          Pros: They do dry fast and provide decent ventilation.

          Cons: The waistband ripped within a week of use. The legs ride up and cause quite a bit of chafing. After a few washes the gel padding shrinks and has less coverage.

            Comments about Canari Gel Bike Shorts Liner - Men's:

            These liners are alright, but certainly nothing special, which you start to feel after an hour in the saddle. They could be padded better, i'm not sure why they went with more padding for the cheeks instead of the crotch where the most pressure is. I do like that I can wear them under my cargo shorts for mountain rides to have the padding and my pockets. Overall not a bad product but I expected more.

              I wore these in the MN Ironman Bike Ride. They held up great in the 65 mile ride. It was rainy and windy, but my butt didn't hurt. Solid product and at a reasonably cheap price.

                  Comments about Canari Gel Bike Shorts Liner - Men's:

                  Purchased a pair of the Canari Gel Bike shorts liner about three months back and for a while they were my favorite. Fit was great, very comfortable on medium length commutes, (approx. 7 miles), but they did get a little bit warm on hot days. However, after being machine washed weekly and tumble dried following manufacturers instruction, the gel pad has either melted or shifted such that its a golf ball sized lump in the rear section of the shorts. The Novara bike shorts liner have much thinner padding, but at least are still wearable.

                    Works well when worn under regular shorts for casual rides. It's a better fit than the Novara cycling undies, which are a little too tight in the thighs for me.
