does any know if those shorts have a lot of padding?
I can tell you the TE links have clickable images of the chamois (click on the name of the chamois, and it will show). They're tri shorts, so I would think not. You can always call TE - my experience has been that they're quite friendly (and low pressure!).

I'm just jealous that you can wear 2" inseam shorts!My muscular (and sorta fatty) monster thighs could never get away with the mini skirt of bike shorts.
Good on 'ya!

FWIW, despite the slight padding on tri shorts, my tri shorts are my favorite shorts to cycle in. Even for long rides. I've ridden them up to 65 miles and still felt fine. Never did a century. I have PI shorts, but I have heard lots of tri girls talk about how their shorts are just as comfy for rides as their cycling shorts.

I totally agree!! I've ridden 102 miles in my tri shorts and was as comfy as can be (tell me that 2 years ago and I'd have told you to jump off a cliff). Once you get used to less padding- it's far more comfy- I promise! I even run in my tri shorts. I think I own about 6 pair.
