Tell me what kind of shorts you wear!

I really really love Gore for road and mountain biking. I also have a pair of Sheila Moon lycra shorts and she makes a great chamois and the shorts aren't too tight in the legs and have a yoga style waistband to eliminate any muffin topping.

Terry Bellas 4 pair, plus one pair of knickers
Shebeest Double Ds (1)
Shebeest SSS (1)

a couple of pair of Shebeest board shorts with separate liners; I wear them as regular shorts or with the liners for short errand rides/mtb
one pair of baggies
I wear unpadded tights (Hind) over my bike shorts in cold weather

Boure Elite shorts. 8" inseam and a thin chamois wide enough for my sit bones to get releif.

For me, the chamois in most popular shorts are just a teensy bit narrower than my sit bones and they hurt. Disappointing, because I absolutely loved the Terry T-short's fabric.

For long rides I like Louis Garneau shorts with the airated chamois(ergozone I think), great for the heat. I have velowear bibs that rock, just sucks when you have to pee. I am also riding Zoot tri shorts, depending on the distance. I started doing sprints and the less padding is nice. It depends on the mood I'm in and the saddle of the week. Right now SI SLR gel flow, very flat and nice. We'll see.

I have fallen in love with the best shorts in the entire universe. The Sugoi Lucky.

The number one thing that makes them so great is their waistband, or rather, the lack thereof. I have GI issues, and the band of elastic on most shorts can ruin my day quickly; it causes deep, painful cramps that don't go away after the ride. These shorts are built differently; they are moderately elastic all around, but don't have that tight line of pressure.

Additionally, they have a moderate chamois; not tiny like a tri short, but not fluffy like a PI short. Just right.

They also have a very small mesh pocket on the hip, perfect for lip balm or an unadorned key.

This year I tried a pair of bib shorts from PI--the Slipstream Chipotle kit. The legs are gripper free and the chamois is just right--not too thick and not too thin (I think it's the Pro 3-D chamois). I like this short better than the other PI shorts.

I also have a pair of Sugoi Gusta shorts for mtb'ing which are really nice.

Those Sugoi Gusta shorts look nice.
