Where to buy some shiny nylon lycra padded cycle shorts?

As per the title really. I'm after a set of shorts like these but with the padded section for cycling.

It's easy enough to find shiny nylon lycra shorts that aren't padded and it's easy enough to find padded cycling shorts that aren't made from nylon lycra, but I can't seem to find some nylon lycra padded shorts. Sad

It seems that cycling shorts are now using a range of materials instead of nylon and lycra. Sad

So does anyone know where I can get myself some nylon lycra padded shorts, or bib shorts? I know that unpadded shorts feel nicer to wear but I do want these for actual cycling so the pad is useful.

Thanks folks Smile

You probably want to be looking at the very cheapest end of the market. I'm not sure who are the ultra cheap brands these days though.

I did find these which might be a possiblity:

The cheapest Endura shorts:

Ultra-cheap stuff on ebay, listed as 80/20 mix so possibly what you want:
