Cari,
Can I ask you whether you find the Shebeest Pedal pushers get too hot in the warm weather?
I know exactly what you mean by your legs getting too much sun.

They feel pretty good, not too hot. They're made of DriStyle fabric, same as the Elite Distance 2 Shorts and the Shindigger Capris. It's matte, not quite as thin and shiny as lycra. But it's also not fleeced or anything like that, which you'll find in many other knickers. Shebeest also uses that fabric in the Retro 2006 Jersey, the Wahini Jersey, and the K2 Jersey. I prefer jerseys with a thinner, lighter, less clingy fabric, but on shorts and knickers, DriStyle is ok.

If you prefer a fabric that more closely resembles lycra, I might suggest some Castelli knickers that TE sold last Fall/Winter. Maybe they'll bring them back this year? I personally don't like those as much because the pad is not as cushy as I'd like. And oddly enough, the one time I wore those thinner Castelli capris out during the day, I felt much hotter than I ever did in the Pedal Pushers.

Hope this helps,

Cari

Sue,
I also really like Shebeest's BoardRider Capri. I was wearing them when it was 100 degress F plus humidity. The fabric is wonderful.

Thanks Cari and BMof3,

That information is really helpful. I had never considered longer shorts before.
I love my Elite 2 shorts. I can feel more shopping coming on......
