06 ultra shebeest shorts

[cosc]

I found a hole in the shebeest shorts I bought in June. These short have been used for about 175 miles. I'm careful when washing and air dry my shorts. My other shorts seem to show abrasion on the lower thigh, but after being worn many more miles and never a hole. Would you try to take the pair back to store of purchase or talk to Shebeest direct? I don't have a receipt anymore. Advice much appreciated.

I had this happen and phoned them directly and they replaced them, twice.

I ordered a pair of Ultra Ds from TE and, after about 40 miles, the fabric was wearing thin in two places. I noticed that the chamois was unevenly sewn into the shorts, so maybe that caused the problem. TE replaced the shorts. On my second pair of Ultra Ds, the rubbery material they use for the SheBeest logo came off. TE said they would replace the shorts if it was manufacturing defect, and issue a credit, but they didn't want me to get another pair of the SBs since I had issues with the shorts. Unfortunately for me, the Ultra Ds have the most comfortable chamois. So, I didn't send them back to TE even though the missing logo stuff makes the shorts look bad and poorly made (which, arguably, they are). I decided I wanted the comfortable chamois more than anything, but I was very disappointed that I spent so much money and was not completely satisfied.

I have tried the Terry Bellas. The chamois is very similar to the SBs, but slightly thinner. I like them a lot. And, they are much cheaper than the Ultra Ds. I still prefer the slightly thicker chamois of the SBs for longer rides, though.

My friend used the Ultra Ds for one day of the MS 150 and got a hole in her shorts, too. She'll be sending them back to TE.

Odd....I've ridden hundreds of miles in my Ultra-D's and no problem yet.
(I wash them with Woolite on the gentle cycle and hang them to dry.)

Triskeliongirl, I will phone the company tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Amy, I like my Shebeest SSS better than the ultra's. The thinner chamois seems to chafe less.

Lisa, my shorts are washed with woolite too. I'm glad yours are working out for you. I remember the informative review of the shorts you ordered.

I wash my shorts on delicate with a mild, perfume-free and dye-free laundry soap and I air dry them, too. I'm glad you haven't had any problems, Lisa!
