See-through shorts

The Ultra shorts from Performance don't look like they'd be see-through. I don't think I've ever had that problem, though. Hmm...

+1 on the Terry Bellas. I'm about the same size as you are and I also carry my weight in my rear and thighs. The grippers on the regular Terry Bellas don't give me sausage legs but the shorter Bellas do cause sausage legs. I purchased a few pair in size large last year when I was a little heavier. The shorts have gotten looser on me but they're still wearable. I suggest starting with mediums if you try the Bellas.

+2 on the Terry Bella. I have 2 pairs of them in size Large and they have quickly become my favorite long distance short.

Thanks ladies! I'm going to try the Bellas!

Just don't get the "short" ones. After wearing the regular length ones for 2+ years, I bought a pair of the short ones last summer, when they went on sale. Oww! The seams just hit me in the wrong places and the chamois felt horrible. I did one or two 20 mile rides in them and gave up.
I threw them out.

I like the fit and feel of the Terry Bellas too. I have both shorts and knickers and find them fairly durable. Last week I took a tumble wearing the knicks. I ended up with a light scrape on my knee, but I have yet to find a snag on the Bellas (????). I have bought pre-owned and new on Ebay, but always looking for sales on these,

I'm also a fan of the Terry Bella shorts
