I have the Shebeest Nirvana cycling short and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!

No leg grippers, no waist elastic (a low rise, V waist that sits very nicely).

Bought a pair, and loved them so much I bought 2 more so I could finally get rid of the really worn-out shorts I've had for 5 years now. They sell them here at TE. The legs don't have grippers, but they stay down. The pad is thinner than most, but more than a tri short. I've ridden them for a 4 hour ride and was quite pleased.
