After having my prostate removed earlier this year, I knew getting back in the saddle, literally wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. I was genuinely worried about discomfort and had already wasted money on gear that made big promises and delivered... well, sore regrets.

Enter the Rippl Impact Gear Apex Rider Shorts. I was sceptical at first, been burned before, but what a game changer! Not only do they actually work, they’ve brought back the sheer joy of getting back on my motorbike. I'm starting to ride further, smiling more, and even planning a trip to Norway next year. You better believe these shorts are coming with me!

Only one cheeky request to the good folks at Rippl, any chance of a version with a bit more post-surgery padding? For those of us who've had a little... rearrangement, extra comfort would go a long way.

Thanks, team Rippl, cracking product. You've solved a very real problem, and made getting back on the bike something to celebrate.

My Street Triple is reasonably comfortable but these well designed shorts extend the distance before having to take a break. More comfortable than wearing cycle shorts. Had to down size to medium. All good

Finally shorts that are for motorcycles and not bicycles. These work really well, especially on the longer rides. Will be putting them to the test next month when we take off on an adventure for a few days. So far, the around town and to and from work, they are working favorable. Glad I got them and have a friend who just ordered his. Great product.

Current wr450f seat isn’t a friendly thing and different seat options kept adding up fairly expensive so tried these. My normal underpants are size medium, but the size chart suggested I’d be a large. I’ll order a second pair in medium to try. Large was ok, but they’re so stretchy I’m pretty sure they’ll be a better fit a little smaller, closer to a compression pant fit. So my advice is if you’re on the edge of two sizes, order the smaller size.
