In need of new shorts...

[RedCanny]

I have a pair of the Shebeest SSS shorts; bought them last year. LOVE them!

I'm a fan of Shebeest and Louis Garneau. They seem to be my go to shorts, the others are used only then those are dirty. My shebeest are a couple years old, have held up well, and have a nice chamois. I don't recall what style they are, but they have a mesh pocket in back. The garneau shorts I have are the ergo sensor short and I absolutely LOVE the material of the short. The chamois works well for me over long distances, is a bit thicker though. The short material is really what stands out, it's soft and comfy.

Depends on the model of PI shorts you got. The more expensive ones have less bulky chamois and are pretty comfortable on longer rides. My favorite shorts are the LG ones that TE carries---the ones that are very very expensive. One pair is a great investment, if you are planning on doing any really long rides. I also like Terry's new flex chamois, the Sheebest chamois, and Exte Ondo's Raicor chamois.
