I'd love another pair myself. If you happen to see that they're on sale, please let me know. I'll surely do the same if I see a sale !

Have a wonderful day.

I've been thinking of trying this short (I love my sprint stripe Shebeest shorts...but they are not good for long rides).

I found this:

But I can't tell what year these are...has there been any changes in this short from previous years? $49.99 is a damn good price...too good to be true, perhaps?

Wow that is a great deal! The fabric named on the Lombardi site is "Restyle" but the TE site calls it "Dryline" so that may be a clue to the model year. Lombardi calls the chamois "Scholastic," which I think is a misprint of "SHElastic" so the chamois may be the same. Still, you'd hate to pay for shipping only to find that you didn't get what you thought you were getting. I guess you could call them and ask.

It sounds to me like it's last year's verdion of the same short... Restyle => DriStyle and Scholastic => Shelastic? It's actually kinda funny how they goofed that one up.

And yeah, I read that Terry's new flex chamois is the same as Shebeest's Shelastic. Haven't tried the Terry short, though. But Shebeest has several shorts with that same chamois, so if you love it, you have options.

By the way, The SSS short used to come in a couple of other colors, and TE has one of those on sale for $60: Cosmic Blue Triple S (SSS) Short.

I'm a Shebeest fan, can you tell?

BTW- If you are a tri girl, you can run in the shelastic shorts without feeling like you have a diaper on, which is nice. Sometimes I need just a bit more padding that the tri shorts have, but I don't want to have to change- or feel like I'm yet to be potty trained!!
But I ran 3 miles the other day in them and was fine.

The chamois padding and the design seem like the same, but the surface fabric is definitely different. The Shebeest chamois has a noticeably softer surface than the Terry--the Shebeest is almost velvety, as if the fabric were brushed or something. Very comfortable!

Hi Everyone!

CARI: The blue shebeest triple S shorts are a pretty shade - but, they're not in my size ..... Thanks for letting us know.

I can't say enough good things about my shebeest triple S shorts and I highly recommend them! I have 2 pair of cycling shorts - the PI microsensor 3D Pro-short ($120) & my shebeest triple S shorts ($80).

They are EXTREMELY comfortable, and I personally think that they're more "figure flattering" !

Having two pair of cycling shorts, I naturally thought I'd be rotating them - you know, wear one when the other is in the wash..... but.... I'm finding that when I come home from riding, I'll take off my shebeest shorts & throw them in the wash right away so I'll have them to wear the next day !

Looks like I will have to get another pair !

Peace & Love,

Denise
