    I'm fairly certain you can't return TE clothes once you've cut off the tags.

    I think they're too long by any standards- the elastic at the bottom is around the back of my knee when I'm on the bike- feels like that could get pretty irritating unless I roll them up.

    Why not just call them up and ask?

    I read that all the "ultra-cool" roadies ALWAYS flip the elastic band up on their shorts! In fact, they do this so much that the shorts makers are now putting their logo names on the INSIDE of the elastic grippers, so they'll show when flipped up!

    I've seen that too. Now i know why.

    Almost all my shorts are ... not shorts. PI knickers keep my knees warm. But elastic can be a drag whether placement or you just ... don't ... like ... it.

    My Terry knickers have no elastic, just slit at side of the calf, PI's do I think (runs off to check) and I like the chamois mo' better.

    Elastic on the calf does not bug me.

    If you like the chamois why not keep 'em, roll it up and be an ultra cool roadie?

    Checking the returns policy on the site is easier.

    Yeah, I checked the returns policy before I posted my original whine. Possible if I begged they'd take them back, but I didn't really want to go that route.

    Here's another suggestion... have you tried pulling up the legs of the shorts an inch or so? When I started doing long distances, my shorts shifted around a bit and would start to chafe. My solution was to pull the short's legs up a little bit, which helped the shorts stay put.
