Best long distance shorts?

[Brandi]

I have a pair of Sugoi RS Flex on the way right now. I hope I like them. I am _so_ picky, but that's because I have a pair I love (which are, of course, now unavailable) and I want to love the next pair just as much...

PS, I'd change Brandi's statement to "Everyone's going to feel a little sore after 250 miles, no matter what!" :-)

I am a whimp! I can feel sore after 15 miles on some days! It just depends on the day you know?

Another person signing praises of the Sugoi RS Flex shorts! I've ridden a local charity ride for five years & this was the first time that I got up Sunday morning (after 100 miles on Saturday) and didn't feel sore when I hit the saddle! Another 80 miles on Sunday & felt great the next day too!

And yet another vote for the Sugoi RS Flex shorts!! Rode with them for the first time on Monday's ride - 3 1/2 hours in the saddle and no complaints. By the way, I am riding the Bontrager saddle that came on my Madone and have had no problems with comfort. Like someone said, "it is all personal choice".

OK I'm definitely going to look for those ones - they seem pretty popular. I bought my first pair of cycling shorts last month and like them much better than my regular clothes. I have managed to get over weairng lycra at age 46 and don't care what people think of me. (Actually I've had two men in cars yell something at me when I was riding and I couldn't hear what they said so I naturally I assume it was good - haha), But I digress - what I want to know is this - I didn't want to spend a ton on my first pair of shorts so bought some Sugoi Neo Pro shorts for $50 (Can). I like them just fine. How much more am I going to LOVE the RS Flex shorts if I buy them at 3 times the price. Will they be awesome? I think I am worth it - hee hee... Is the chamois a lot thicker/better quality?
