Honestly - get some cheap bibs with decent padding. Not going to be a particularly pleasant ride otherwise...
The bibs might be more uncomfortable that whatever he's used to. Really needs to try it out. Ive bought cycle clothing before and found certain aspects, too hot / seams or chafing in unwanted places made the cycling stuff worse than regular clothes.
Fair enough it was cheaper gear, and I barely ride far. But I dont think fancy lycra= automatic riding bliss.
