Hey, Pooks, you could call them "knickerbockers," which is the original term.

I got both the Sugar Knickers and the Shebeest Pedal Pushers, and ended up sending the Sugars back. I don't like the thinner fabric, though the chamois seemed pretty nice--as far as I could tell without actually riding in them. The Shebeests have that great flex chamois which is so comfy and un-diaper-butt-like, plus I love love love that magical material they use as grippers instead the rubbery stuff on most biking bottoms. My only complaint about the Shebeests is that they're a bit too long, but I'm short enough that I'm used to things being too long so have no problem with pushing them up a bit. The magical grippers make them stay wherever I put them.

I like the new Terry knickers that have a flex chamois similar to the Shebeests, but not that nice gripper, and the new Terrys seem to have a slightly lower rise in front--not so nice.
