Cycling wear

In my years of cycling, I usually just whacked on a tshirt and a pair of shorts..looking at it now..the padded cycle shorts..would have eased the ass ache from the seat

Any recommendations to cycle wear essentials to get?
Also links for tops as well and shorts

Look at dhb stuff on wiggle. Good value for money and actually pretty good quality considering the price

The wear is rather expensive on wiggle..the amazon link is decent for price and positive reviews :/

The DHB stuff isn't expensive on Wiggle.

I wouldn't put all your stock in Amazon reviews. The people on here generally have tried quite a bit of stuff before they offer you advice.

For small rides (10-15 miles) any £15-£20 padded shorts will be fine. If you're going to be doing 30 miles upwards, buy the most expensive shorts/bib shorts you can afford. It's really not an area you want to skimp on

Please link me the best you'd recommend, thank you

I have the same but in bib shorts and they are very comfortable and no chaffing/sore bits unlike the cheap ones I've bought off Amazon
