Shorts...suggestions?

Forgot to mention that the REI near me carries Terry Bellas. Catrin, do you have an REI near you?

Why YES we do, I will head out there this weekend to check it out. It isn't far from a LBS that I want to check for the Sugoi RS shorts anyway. For some reason I just never think of REI for this sort of thing - my brain associates them with camping goods.

I think my problem with the chamois in the Terry removable liner is thickness - they are too thin for me. Great for short rides though - or were until they became too large for me. The woman at TE suggested maybe finding someone who works with lycra and have my stock of too-large shorts taken in. The problem is the chamois area, they are now just too large for me and bunch up I suspect that isn't really fixable without a lot of custom work that would likely be more expensive than new shorts...

Just a reminder that TE carries both the Bella and the RS.

Yes...but I can't order both at the same time to try on Just because I try them on somewhere else doesn't mean I won't order the one I settle upon from TE

Yeah; I figured you could just try them on locally and then possibly order from TE. Not that you're not entitled to buy from wherever you choose, but I like to throw out TE as a good option when I can. And in the interest of full disclosure, I'm not a fan of either REI's Indy story or that LBS. I had high hopes for REI, but the service I've gotten there is pretty ho hum. And don't even get me started with that LBS. Oy; they drive me nuts.
