    Anybody know where to find unpadded knickers for men??

    One of the shop guys has some that look good - I think the tag says Enduro (but I can't find anything except ski pants). Might be spelled wrong - I couldn't get that close a look. They appear to be cycling friendly, and not padded (which would work well for DH since he rides to work and doesn't change clothes - I wouldn't want to wear a chamois all day).

    We might try these too (but for riding only).

    The chamois on this is really slight. It does not look like you're wearing bike shorts

    These look great! I'm between a size 10 and a size 12. Do you think I should still go for the XL which is a 12/14?

    I think they fit loose. I'm between 14/18 in most pants. The XL is super comfy. If you guess wrong someone here will trade with you.

    Aww I shoulda waited! Oh well, I got the Large and I'm sure it'll fit fine but yes, maybe someone will trade.

    Oh, man, I want a pair.

    Problem is, I don't *need* a pair.


    Edit to add: I ordered a pair! Figure I must deserve a pair... for some reason. I'll come up with the reason later!

    How about your most recent raise? First commute in these pants today, they are great!

    Sound: they crinkle like my taffeta gowns when walking. That may break in

    Heat: today was a scorcher, pants felt nice and light. I imagine they would dry fast too.

    Loves: reflective ankle strap, stretchy rear pockets. I had cell phone in thigh pocket, keys in zippered side pocket, wallet in stretchy rear pocket and no worries about things falling while on the bike! I don't look or feel like I'm wearing a backpack in my shorts with all that.

    Ease: Hardly noticed it all pedaling Velcro thigh cell pocket is very easy to get to, I like that safety feature. Drop your hand to the thigh and pull up on the flap, there's your phone. Choice of right or left hand.

    Chamois: If you like shorts with no or little chamois you'll like these. The chamois is narrow and just enough. I did not feel odd in the office with these pants. As advertised "no diaper feel", if you did not see me ride in - probably just think I'm wearing capris.

    I would like just a tad more velcro to get the ankle narrower. That's so minor with pants so good .... if you bike to work, need to look "normal" on an errand, need to carry stuff .... get these.

    Susan? Can you get 'em?
