    Short Shorts

    Hello all,

    my wife is interested in a pair of Short Shorts but she is concerned about the quality of the chamios for long distance rides. She typically rides 15 to 20 miles on a normal ride but does like an occasional 50 miler. She rides a Specialized Roubiax and likes to push herself. She currently likes the mens medium PI Attack shorts, but she wants something shorter. She is looking at the following two items:

    SHEBEEST RPM Short - http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=9713

    Pearl Izumi Sugar Short - http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=12220


    any advice you have that I can pass along would be greatly appreciated.

    - Roy asking for wife Kim.

    Hi Roy! What a good boy you are

    I love the Sugar Shorts; just found a new home for all my "other PI's" and now own ONLY 4 pr of Sugar Shorts and 1 pr of Sugar Short Knickers.

    And TE carries both

    Sugar Shorts rock. Those are my daily shorts, for any ride shorter than a century.

    Buy many pairs.

    Roy - After Terry changed it's sizing, I was in search for better fitting/more comfortable shorts. The ladies here turned me on to PIs, and now I won't buy anything but PI. I don't have the Sugar Shorts because I didn't want anything quite that short I do, however, have some PIs with 6" inseams vs the Sugar's 5" inseam (can't remember the names -- I think one is the attack and the other is the one is priced at around $79?.) Of course, the more expensive the short, the better I like them, as they seem to have a cushier chamois and provide more muscle support. Anyway, both types of the PIs I own are very very comfortable on long rides
