MTB: Padded or not?

[Jisch]

I always wear padded shorts, but I ride with a pro level guy every now and then and he wears just lightweight jogging shorts. He says it takes a little while to get your nether region "toughened up" (don't like the sound of that AT ALL!), but he says ultimately its much more comfortable because of the air flow.

He is definitely in the minority with his opinion.

He's in the minority on most of his opinions - one of those guys...

I admit, I'm often that way, as are most of my friends. But not when it comes to my delicate taint.

I have no need, or desire to toughen up that area.
