More advice on shorts

I want to order some new shorts as mine are boinging into bagginess. I have Cannondale Chronos, which apparently aren't made anymore. Should have known, as believe it or not, my daughter and I snagged 3 pairs of them at TJMAXX 2 years ago for $20 each.
Anyway, my shorts worked well, with one problem. I ride on my lower handlebars a lot. I tend to sweat in the front tummy area. It seems I could use lower cut waist and less front end chamois. There is just too much shorts there and I get soaked in sweat. I don't mean short legs. I don't mind the leg length. Any advice on shorts that will work better? Oh yeah, I really like the way the cannondale ones aren't rubbery where the 'grippers' are in the legs, so I'd like shorts with that feature.
Thanks,
Barb

Hi bikerbarb - not sure if this is what you are after but they have two Cannondale styles marked down at Amazon for $19.99 and $29.99. :)

Hey Barb,

I just got some Cannondale Domestique bike shorts that I ordered online. They're really comfy and have those really nice, elastic-but-not-rubbery leg grippers. Even though the merchant's price tag says "Domestique", the actual Cannondale tags say "8-panel Chrono shorts". So I think there's a chance that they're the same shorts you bought a while back.

I bought them online for $39.93. The link is: http://www.rei.com/outlet/product/47962830.htm

I hope they're what you're looking for... it seems you're not the only one who loves those shorts!

Saludos,
