I've also noticed a lot of people commenting on how sheer some riding shorts are. I'm terrified of the idea of someone being able to see through my pants. Any tips on which brands to avoid?
ann_77 - is there any bike shops near you that you can go to and try some shorts on? This way you can try a few different brands and a few different sizes. You can still order off the net if you find them cheaper but at least you will know exactly what size is best for you.

I wear Sugoi flex and I dont think they are too sheer. Mind I ride on my own and cant see my own behind but I havent had any leers or nasty comments. Also I dont think my husband would be letting me out of the house if they were indecent.
