If you’re looking for a pair of padded cycling shorts that won’t break the bank, this offering from Altura could be up your street.

Designed with women’s needs in mind, the Spirit Stretch shorts are durable and use a multi-panel design which will ensure that the fabric hugs in the right places and sits on the skin comfortably.

Seven of the Best Chamois Creams

The chamois is a multi-density insert – which means it’s more padded where it needs to be, without excess padding elsewhere. Silicone grippers keep the legs in place and the elastic waistband is wide to reduce the chance of chafing.

At just £25.99 at Wiggle, these are a real bargain.
