    P.S. when i was searching for good shorts a couple of years ago, I actually ordered like 8 different brands to try out at home. I had to eliminate 6 of them right off the bat because of the ridiculously tight thigh elastics. What on earth is UP with that ????? They are not leg elastics...they are TOURNIQUETS! =8-( Why do we need tight elastic around the thickest part of our thighs anyway??

    Same thing with jersey waist elastics...the elastic is too tight around my hips and immediately rides up above my belly button to where my narrower waist is...seeking The Path of Least Resistance. lol! Thus a section of my back gets exposed to the sun while riding...YUK!

    I'm telling you, pear-shaped or 'female-hourglass-shaped' women totally lose out when it comes to biking clothes.
    We have hips! We have thighs! We have waists! We have booty! We have boobs! We're not adolescent boys! HEL-LO???? LOL!
