BALEAF Men's 3D Padded Cycling Underwear
Cheap padded bike underwear that suits new riders and spin classes more than long daily rides.
We bought Qhulu Men's 3D Padded Bicycle Cycling Underwear Shorts, Black (US XL). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is the same kind of men's 3D padded cycling underwear at a similar budget price, from a brand with a maker page and independent reviews.
The short version
- New riders who want padding without wearing tight bike shorts
- Commuters and spin class riders who layer under regular shorts
- You ride several hours at a time and want a premium chamois
- You prefer a very thin pad for indoor cycling
What owners like
- Comfortable pad for the price
- Durable stitching around the pad
- Waistband is wide and not restrictive
Common complaints
- Pad is thicker and wider than some riders want for spin class
- Some seams can rub sensitive skin
Based on The maker's product page, the Amazon listing, a cycling gear blog overview and an independent hands-on review of the women's version of the same Baleaf underwear..

What it does
Padded bike underwear with a 4.7 inch inseam that goes under regular shorts, reviewed here as the closest well documented match to the Qhulu padded cycling underwear that was bought.
- Wears under mountain bike shorts, gym shorts or regular clothes
- Quick drying, moisture wicking fabric
- Flat seams meant to stop chafing and riding up
- Wide waistband that sits less tight than Baleaf's full bike shorts
- Sold for road, mountain, commuting and spin riding
A budget pick for new riders, commuters and spin class regulars who want a padded layer under baggy or gym shorts. The trade-off is that the pad is fairly thick and the seams are not flat everywhere, and reviews of the brand point to thinner fabric that suits occasional rather than daily hard use.
