# Padded Bike Underwear The Kor Unterwear Takes the Bulk Out of Cycle Shorts but Not the Comfort By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kor-unterwear References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/style/padded-cycling-with-kors-unterwear.php) & [kor-nyc](http://kor-nyc.com/collections/bottoms/products/unterwear) To combat the sore bottoms suffered by avid cyclists without making them look ridiculous, the Kor Unterwear has been created. It takes the padding out of more typical shorts and places it in people's underwear. Still comfortable without the unnecessary bulk, the Kor Unterwear is something every cyclist could use in his or her wardrobe. Made using high performance Italian fabrics, the Kor Unterwear features a wide elastic waistband and [Bureau Veritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superdry) certified spandex. The pad is not only comfortable, it is also bacteriostatic and absorbs sweat. Kor's founder Allison Cline says, "I was sick of getting off my bike, wanting to join my ladies for a cocktail and looking like a seal with a maxi pad stitched into my behind." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Underwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/underwear) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bike Comfort:** Creating innovative products for cyclists to minimize discomfort. - **Performance Fabrics:** Incorporating high-performing and sustainable materials in clothing and activewear. - **Functional Undergarments:** Designing undergarments that focus on comfort and functionality for different activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cycling:** Innovation opportunities exist within cycling gear to provide cyclists with comfortable and stylish solutions. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Companies that focus on manufacturing high-tech, eco-friendly fabrics for performance apparel are in high demand. - **Fashion Industry:** There is a need for functional and stylish undergarments that cater to different activities, providing an opportunity for brands to expand their offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seamless Chafe-Prevention Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noosh.md) - [Biodegradable Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparepair-underwear.md) - [Performance-Driven Cyclist Shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-shorts.md) - [Comfortable Women's Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legging-liners.md) - [Long-Distance Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevet.md) - [Sustainable Back-Up Underwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backup-underwear.md) - [Cork Bicycle Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-bicycle-seat.md) - [Health Awareness Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underaware.md) - [Adventurous Cyclist Pant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/686-platform-bike-pants.md)
