Yep, my fave! I have short legs to need the "shorter shorts" and w/ the she-elastic chamois I really don't even need/use chamios cream--even for long rides.

short shorts make the flab on the upper inside of my thighs hang out.
I love my tan lines and (*blush*) am quite proud showing them off at the pool....It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

The Ibex Calais wool shorts are a great length, just slightly longer than the short shorts, but not long by any means. Though, my absolute favorite short short is the Sugoi Evolution Shorty from a few years back.

I'm absolutely no help here because I like my shorts to all have an 8" inseam so that I can get a very defined thigh line

No help either, I just shrug when my non-cycling friends make fun of me. I just can't be bothered to care.
