2006 & 2007 have the same fabric. We have, on occasion, had a few people mention they feel it is a little sheer. It's not a common complaint though, and it's still one of our best-selling high end shorts. But certainly, it is airier than some of the other high end shorts we sell. Benefit or disadvantage? Depends on your personal preference. I love them, especially this time of year.

The Ozon shorts have a completely seamless chamois. See: http://www.teamestrogen.com/referenc...ls.asp?ID=ozon lady chamois

I haven't worn the bibtights myself, or any other Gore bottom with that chamois, so I can't make a direct comparison for you. But here's a photo for your reference. see: http://www.teamestrogen.com/referenc...sp?ID=advanced lady chamois

Hope that helps.
