That's gotta save a few ounces/grams weight. Might create a safety hazard with MUPs becoming SMAPs (suddenly mostly aware peeps).

After a couple test rides these are fast moving up my preferred chart for hip and leg protection; super light and flexible; more so than some of my riding shorts. However, You aren't going grocery shopping in these yoga shorts.

Is this an undergarment or you use them as shorts?
They look good for the races if you flat. You might cut up your knees but the butt looks well protected

They are unders but frankly they cover as well as bike shorts that don't' have a shamy. I'll test this in less popular places to see what sweet does before I don them around crowds.

The pants look worth a try. I have quite a good hill to climb and now into my third week of the low carb diet I am with good breath and cheer at the top of it. But try as I will I cant do a Jason downhill. I did get to 70rpm today but that as far as I dared and then I Cruze. If I thought I had protection I might go 80+.

Do you wear them stand alone or under bike shorts? They look pretty cool.

actually not so silly......... when i was learning i rode across a bike path wooden bridge with cross planking. i had bullhorn handlebars which i managed to get caught up in the vertical posts for the guard rail. needless to say the bike came to a sudden stop. my body did not. my testicles were crushed on the beautifully fluid formed nut crusher top bar of the v2. ouch. my rear light flew up in the air i hit that hard. lucky i have had my four children already and dont need my wedding tackle for such purposes these days. fun excluded you understand
i wince daily as i pass the spot.and it was witnessed by a lovely lady who offered to help. i should have let her.........

Testing them stand alone right now now; but both applications seem possible. More to follow.

This had me screaming with laughter. I probably wear them if touring the Alps but it looks rediculous to pop into a tavern for a tapa.

in all seriousness now. when i ride the ass hatchet DF long distance i wear assoss TF Mille bibs. 280 bucks a pair. and use of chamois cream. short distance i wear knicks or cheaper bibs 80 bucks a pair.
when i ride my vendetta any distance i wear kmart lycra shorts no pad and just turn the seams inside out to prevent rubbing. no chamois cream 12 bucks a pair. vendetta comfort cannot be beat unless you ride a silvio etc
good for multiple 350klm days. but if you dont turn the seams inside out they rub a painful line between the crown jewels.
as far as modesty goes us aussies dont worrry about such things. beside why worry about the little things ha ha
those condom catheters wont fit us aussies they are far too narrow and short so i have just taken to taping myself to the seatpan underside
