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?
