Hi everyone-

I bought a pair of shorts at the Black Bottoms Warehouse sale last fall. I thought they were comfortable, and ordered another pair, but by the time I was ready to use them, I had lost a few more pounds and I needed a size M (which were sold out).

They are 8 panel, with the Amara pad and 8 inch inseam. They are brand new, still in the plastic bag with all the tags. The MSRP on their website is $84, but they were seriously discounted to $15 plus shipping. I'd like $20 for them (that would include the shipping cost).

More info:
Blackbottoms Cyclewear top-of-the-line short for women. Perfect for women cyclists looking for technical features and durability that lasts ride after ride, washing after washing, and great fit.

8.1oz. DRI-TEK Performance Tricot (86% / 14%)
8-Panel anatomical cut
Padded Amara chamois (Super-soft synthetic leather)
Flat locked seams
Elastic Leg Gripper

Hi...can you tell me if the chamois pad is seamless? Also...do these have a drawstring waist (I hate drawstrings)? Also...are they true to size? Most of my cycling shorts are Pearl Izumi and size medium...but I do have a few other brands (Sugoi, Shebeest) that I wear a Large in....how would these shorts compare, in sizing, to other popular brands?

nscrbug-
There is no drawstring on these.

The pad is not seamless- it is sewn in "synthetic leather" with a central strip of a fabric that looks like it wicks moisture. I can take a photo if that would be helpful.

As far as size goes- I don't have experience wearing Sugoi or PI, but I was wearing large in Performance brand and in these and now I'm wearing a M. in Performance, Sheebeest SSS and Giordana Shape. I haven't tried PI...

Hope that's helpful.
