Essentials Men's Premium Performance Cycling Shorts by Hill Killer

Essential Comfort Padded Shorts

The new standard in comfort and performance. Designed to flex without any of those restrictive and annoying add ons found in traditional styles. Our Essential Comfort Bibs are well, essential.  

*Opting for comfort we use lycra blended compression leg bands instead of restrictive silicone based leg grippers.

These shorts are easily my favorites to wear. Whether I’m on my Peloton or on my road bike, they’re always comfortable.

The shorts fit perfect, the length is spot on and the padding is amazing. More orders to make in the future for more shorts and tops. Customer service is top notch, I cannot be any happier, neither will you. Highly recommended for your running and cycling clothes.

Large was laughably small. Sent them back for an XL and am making them work, but a XXL would have fit me better. I wear a large in the REI brand. The pad is amazing, so I will make it work.

I ordered two of these and they are now my favorite pants - cheaper and more padding and comfort than the more expensive brands

I needed more bike shorts as I was doing a 7 day trip in Iowa, RAGBRAI. Padded shorts are hard to buy online since you can't feel the padding but I was very satisfied. Thank you!

The pad rubs the crotch area during long sessions

Waist band TOO high, chamois a bit bulky

Like everything else I have purchased from Hill Killer, the quality is top notch, and the chamois is fantastic for longish (2-3 hours) rides in the saddle. I however was not expecting the waistband to come as high up on my mid section as it does. It has the height of a bib, but without the straps, leading the waistband to roll down a bit and creating a tighter waistband that over a couple hours could, and for me, did, become uncomfortable. YMMV though if you are taller than I am. These will likely become my new 1 hour or less Zwift and casual ride shorts. Height: 5'10" Weight: 200 lbs. Size: XXL

Really comfortable product. Especially long rides. If I had one suggestion it would be to create a pocket for your family jewels. No manufacturers do this and I think if someone did it would be a game changer.

Great pair of shorts. Food fit and quality. I want to try the bibs next.

Great pair of bike shorts! One of the most comfortable kits I’ve purchased. I bought the shorts with a retro Hill Killer jersey and put the kit on when it arrived, went out and rode 25 miles.
