As far as shorts goes... I will ONLY wear the Cannondale, 8-Panel, Chrono ones.

The padding is thick, and they have a 8" inseem (? spelling).

Not to mention that they DO NOT have that annoying plastic that hugs the thighs as a gripper... instead they have a nice elastic band that is covered with soft material. Yes, the legs stay in place.

So, my cellulite is covered, and they feel good!

Now, I have paid $80 for my 2 pairs... they are more expensive, but totally worth it!

$80 for two pair isn't bad. The whole 80 for one pair that barely look bigger than a thong is what had me going

Eh... sorry... that is $80 for each one.

But, for what it's worth... they are much bigger than a thong! And they hold up!

Yea... I know... everything is so expensive in cycling!

I will say though, that these shorts are worth the money. Not having silicone leg grippers is the selling point alone for me.

And you know, until I had to do the MS150 (where I had to ride 2 days back to back)... I didn't even own more than 1 pair.

Nycool,
Listen to spazz. Do the searches. My LBS strongly advised against tipping the nose of my saddle low enough that you could see it was tipped. They were right. I needed a cutout saddle. Terry butterfly to be exact.
As for shorts. Check out nashbar.com and performance.com

But most important, check out all the previous threads on these 2 topics. You'll learn more than you wanted to know!

Nycool,

Slightly off topic but does anyone else here feel like they are sliding off the saddle and puting too much weight on their arms when their saddle is not tipped slightly up at the nose? Maybe I have too much "baggage" back there under my sit bones, but I tend to roll down to my tender parts if I don't tip that nose up a bit. I'm riding a Brooks B-17 (still very ouchie at 400 miles!) and a Selle Italia XO, so it must be me, not the saddles.
