    Personally, I don't wear white anything. I can spill/stain with the best of them. I also have convinced myself that black looks smaller I know some models have major see through issues. You might want to search and see if you can find a specific review of the one you want.

    Personally, no. But then, I don't wear white anything because I could stain for England. Guys in white shorts... uh-uh, big no-no.

    But in the pictures the models do look cute in white. So if you like white and ride in dry conditions, why not give it a try. Get a good friend to check the "visibility", though...

    (Just rode behind a guy briefly yesterday, who was wearing very worn black shorts with a large circular thin spot like a bullseye right over his butt crack. My eyes still hurt. I very nearly tapped him on the shoulder and said something, but I just couldn't think of any conceivable way of saying that politely to a stranger.)

    I would love to wear white but find that white clothes:
    a) are see through
    b) are easy to get dirty
    c) make me look fat

    Maybe that's why my entire wardrobe is black!

    Trust me, most shorts are black for a reason!!!

    Also, you ladies aren't making me feel any better about the white capris I'm planning on wearing to a fancy shower this weekend!!! I had already decided I wouldn't eat anything and drink only water! I'll probably trip on the sidewalk and go down! I'm a total slob!

    Not to mention most sunblocks turn white technical fabrics yellow.

    I am a dirt magnet. No white shorts! I'm okay with a little white on the side of the leg as an accent, but not with all-over white.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Probably only good for wearing if you have a white saddle...
