    Those are cool, too. Part of why I really wanted the Zoics is that they are cotton. And I could wear them to work.

    One of the biker chicks at work said she might be interested in my Zoics, so she'll try them on tomorrow.

    I've been wearing my Royal Robbins capris with bike shorts underneath. Works well, so I'm interested in other capris. Especially with leg gussets like the Zoics have.

    Maybe i should go check out the Gramicci website, too.

    You might be looking specifically for a capri with a chamois or a pad, but if not, I really like these capris for my ride to work:

    llbean ripstop capri

    I like that they don't grab tightly around the thigh. They also have the articulated knees. There is one rear zipper pocket (and the two front reg. pockets). I also wear them hiking and kayaking, so they are good all around. They dry quickly.

    I bought the pearl izumi versa capri from TE, and while I like the fabric and it is stretchy, the hips really hug. I feel like I need to wear something long with them.

    I love these, but I don't know where I'd ever wear them. I wish they'd come down in price to about half. Then I couldn't resist.

    Yes, but will any of them change your life?

    I'm getting tempted by these. When I ride to work I bring a change of shirt but I stay in bike tights. Pants that look like pants would change my life

    Anyone tried llbean's cycling capri?

    One thing I like about the ones I mentioned earlier in the thread is that they come in numbered sizes rather than S-M-L. Numbered sizes work better for me.

    Something new to change my life. I shall become a wild and free spirit, singing into the wind, spreading joy to all who meet me, a smile on everyone's face as I ride by.

    and gorgeous hotties will be offering to buy me drinks and clamoring for my attention... (mustn't forget that part!! )

    I could wear them to work, too. And I can order the Wacoal CWX bra, which only Terry and Sahalie seem to carry.

    If TE had both of these I'd be ordering them from TE.

    KnottedYet "and gorgeous hotties will be offering to buy me drinks and clamoring for my attention...(mustn't forget that part!! )"

    will gorgeous hotties be able to get your attention over the loudness of the pants?

    you go girrl, I could not carry it off the look, besides...clashes with my bike unless I go ahead and get my GT powder coated. Can walk into my LBS "here, match these".
