2+ on tri shorts. Zoot brand tri shorts have only a piece of fleece for the padding. DeSoto have a different kind of fleece, but still are nice and thin. Pearl Izumi makes a tri short as well. I don't know much about the PI shorts. But any tri shorts will have a much less bulky pad than regular bike shorts.
I've found that I use my tri shorts more and more and the "padded" stuff less and less. It's just more comfortable for me.

Oakleaf, Lisa,
Sorry, I don't have the model of the one I have, but it looks like the Cocoon Due Short I see here on TE. I bought them when Agoura Cycles was going out of business (
) and they only had the one pair. They are awesome shorts.
The other Castelli ones I have seen at the LBS here were thicker, but not crazy thick like the Pearl Isumis. However none are as nice as the real chamois ones I used to have 20 years ago but they were a pain to maintain compared to the synthetics.Tzvia- rollin' slow...
