Reply With QuoteGood news. I complained to Sugoi and the custom department said that they had a bad batch of fabric so they credited our team for the shorts we ordered.

I think I saw a pair of these shorts yesterday.
I did the Best Dam Ride yesterday and I kept getting stuck behind an overweight guy in a pair. Not a pretty sight. I finally parted ways with him around mile 18 and thankfully never crossed his path again.

I recently ordered a pair of Sugoi RS shorts from TE. In my opinion, they are the best shorts I've ever worn, and I will order more when I need new shorts.
They are NOT see-through, by the way. They are superb cycling shorts.

It's annoying that great bike shorts in their "generic" retail version can be nicely solid in the rear panel with no see through, but when a custom kit is manufactured, the panels that are designed to be printed on is made of a completely different fabric, which always seems to be lighter-weight,less compressive, and slightly see-through. DH just got his kit from Louis Garneau for 2010 (they ordered late!) and the formerly see-through rear panel is now backed up with a layer of tan fabric. No more see-through! And the double layer of fabric does not bother him, but I appreciate it riding behind him! Tokie

This isn't a bad idea. You can buy material at most fabric shops that is intended to be used as swimsuit liner - it's "flesh-tone" (peach-ish - sometimes also found in black or white), very thin, 4 way stretch nylon tricot.

I did a group ride with one of your teammates tonite (she was home in MI visiting her folks). You aren't kidding about the transparency (we got a laugh talking about her butt-cheek tattoo). I actually asked her if she was the one who posted on TE. Originally Posted by Racermom4

That was Shelly my team mate. I actually sent a photo of her tattoo showing through the fabric to the Custom's department.

I also belong to a Triathlon group that ordered Sugoi RS tri shorts which uses the ultra aero fabric. It was not see thru and the fabric was slightly different.

They're my faves, too. Susan at TE recommended them to me a few years ago, and they're the only shorts I've worn ever since. Originally Posted by tulip

I briefly rode behind a guy with white bibs on yesterday. He had been riding for several hours so was pretty sweaty. Yep, very see-through. I was really glad when DH and I turned, and he and his buddy kept going straight!

I am also part of a Triathlon team and their RS shorts have the same fabric and we compared the shorts and the Tri shorts were slightly different and they were not see thru.
I just received some Women's Sugoi RS custom bib shorts and I love them and the fabric is better and not see thru. I am very happy with Sugoi.

I love my Sugoi RS shorts, I am trying to find a pair of the black/white that are not so expensive. I found the black ones at a good price but the B/W are harder to find.
Talking about guys wearing white shorts, a few weeks ago I was riding by myself at our local spot and three guys all in white kits came up next to me. There was a huge bridge coming up and I told them to go ahead, they waited and said I could stay with them. I finally told the one guy, "I'd love to stay with you guys, but your shorts are WAY too see through and I don't know you". His friends started laughing so hard they had to pull over. I couldn't resist!
