Your favorite Shorts?

For a recumbent - there is nothing better than a rowing trou. They have modesty padding only and only on the rear area, exactly where you sit on a bent.

not compression, but form fitting - they look exactly like bike shorts but without the pad.

I just got a pair of the Pearl Izumi Tri shorts and it just has a piece of cloth, like underwear, for the lining. As I ride recumbent and regular mtn bikes, I do still have to own shorts with padding for the mtn bike. The Pearl Izumi tri shorts are super nice.

I'll check those rowing shorts out and the other on TE.

I don't have a "favorite" yet - I haven't tried enough of them. But I have a not-favorite, which are the Gore Oxygen short. I got a medium. The legs are certainly tight enough, but the back of the waistband can pull up about 3-4 inches above my waist (I'd imagine that's to avoid a plumber's crack, but EEK! too much extra fabric) and doesn't fit very snugly either (and I have a...rotund...bottom), and the chamois is too big. This pair is a couple years old so they might've changed the fit since then, but I definitely need to look for another pair of shorts to replace them.

Well, so far I would have to say that my favorite pair at the current moment is a pair of Craft PB shorts that I actually bought second-hand off of somebody right here on the TE forum. I can't remember who it was, though. But I really do love those shorts, so "thank you" to whoever sold them to me.
