More so than other padded shorts?
Much more. The shorts use a super thin breathable. material. Not sure if you ever been to Uniqlo, but it is like their AirISM material.
So, while being comfy and airy, it lacks the shape to firmly hold the chammy against your skin.
I will use then indoor on my trainer, cuz they are nice and cool, or under pants if I am casually commuting
