Comparing two shorts-which is smoother fit?

[Cari]

My thighs are pretty big and I wear the Shebeest Elite Distance 2 shorts. The gripper elastic at the leg openings is comfortable but also keeps the shorts in place. The chamois is thick and comfy -- these are the shorts I like to wear on my longish rides -- 40-80 miles.

If I'm doing 30 miles or so, I use Shebeest Pedal Pushers. It has the same chamois as the Triple S shorts, but I prefer the extra coverage I get from the Pedal Pusher.

On the forum I've read some good things about the Sugoi shorts, but have never tried them myself. I bought a Sugoi jersey once (Sugoi Convert jersey) and it was so tight and unflattering that it kinda put me off buying other Sugoi stuff.

Hope this helps,

I have the following shorts that I wear regularly, shebeest SSS, shebeest elite distance 2 and terry T-short (2006 version). The chamois is very similar in all of them, and goes from thin to thick as terry, triple s, elite distance 2. When I was riding my butterfly and getting bad labial abrasions, I had to wear the thickest shorts, elite distance 2, but since I moved to a brooks I find I am most comfortable on the thinnest terry t-short. I can still ride in the elite distance 2, but it feels like there is too much pad down there. None of them give me sausage legs, but he gripper on the terry is most comfortable to me. All are very nice soft comfy shorts. I also had warranty issues on my shebeest shorts (shebeest replaced them but they seem less well made than the terrys). I hope this helps!
