I ended up getting one of the cheaper pairs ($79.99 - can you believe it? I NEVER spend that much on regular clothing).
Then I found out - when checking out the care label - that they were from Spring 2002. $80 for 4 year old shorts. Although I could've sworn that I had tried on that style (PI Ultrasensor) before and hadn't liked them. But these I liked.
More proof that they change the style, fit, sizing - every year. WHY???? Can't they just make up a new name - and let the old name/style/fit stay the same?
Wow, is that the "good" LBS or the "bad" one that sold you 4 year old shorts for list price??!! that's terrible.

I agree with others here; call TE.. I have already ordered (the rubber shorts) from them and then called them this morning(to find a replacement pair) and both times had excellent conversations from very helpful staff.
