See-thru custom Sugoi RS shorts

[indysteel]

I wear RS shorts. When you don't have them on, they look like they're going to be see through, but once you put them on, they're not. Several of my girlfriends wear them, too, and we all sort of freaked out when we first got them, but we've checked one another out while out on the road. They're our fave shorts hands down.

Are yours actually see through once you put them on? If so, I hope that Sugoi sends you better replacements.

I do have a regular pair of RS shorts that are not see thru. These are custom shorts and the back panel and the sides of the shorts are made with ultra aero fabric which is see-thru especially when they get wet from rain or sweat. The material around the chamois is a thicker material and I wished they would of put that type of material on the back of the short.

Eek, that's bad!! Good luck getting the problem fixed.

DH's team kit from L Garneau has similar problem. Pro actively, I would suggest a small backround print (grey on the black) to provide distraction, or words printed over the entire area. Since his kit is already created, as is yours, the only solution is a base layer long enough to pull down over the butt crack area under the shorts. His lightweight icebreaker or ibex baselayers are long and stretchy enough to accomplish this. Tokie

We had that problem a couple of years ago (different kit mfg - but probably same fabric). They basically said - you picked the fabric so tough luck....
