If you turn ad blocker off you see the pic the OP was referring to. As another poster noted, the tag is on the outside as a clue. They are just regular cycling shorts turned inside out to show the padding. Lots of cyclists wear cycling shorts.

Cyclists don't wear those, because anyone who has been cycling for any length of time knows that gel chamois are awful.

95% off at $9.26 = $185.20 original price.

Sounds like a bargain.

I tried a pair, didn’t like them. They Tend to ride in my crotch between my inner thigh and where my gonads meet, not a good thing. YMMV.

Also, for what it's worth, I would not recommend shorts with gel inserts.

Well yes, but I think we can all agree that's perfectly normal.
