I never thought of that Miranda! Right now I just wear some road shorts that are wearing out. The seam is slightly worn and might rip one day but oh well. I haven't found any mountain shorts that fit my hips, heavy thighs and waist. If they do they come way past my knees. Luckily I have a couple of pairs of road shorts the chamois isn't working for long ride or have the seam issue. As I get better I will probably get some dedicated mountain stuff.
