I bought a pair of the 06 terry t shorts with the flex chamois about a month ago. I have worn them several times. I like the fit/cut & the fabric is nice. I do not like the flex chamois. It is kind of sponge like. Pad wise it is ok. No stiching or seams which is great. I wore them on a 40 mile ride yesterday & I decided that I don't like the chamois. It retains moisture, is hot and it clings or binds or something. I have a pair of performance ultras from last year. They have a similar chamois. I don't like them either. I thought it was because I ordered a size too big & they ride up but now I think it is just the chamois. I washed about 6 pairs of shorts the other day, various brands, mens and womens after a few hours of hanging to dry I could still squeeze water from the Terry shorts but no others.
Might just be a personal thing shorts seem to be that way. Sorry this wasn't more positive. I am disappointed though because I researched before buying I thought they were going to be great. Now I am back on the shorts search & want to spend less than $100 on them(less than $50 would be nice). Also it took several rides to decide so I doubt I can return them. Maybe I'll call Terry I did buy direct.
I am looking for shorter inseam due to short femur & chubby knees, whole other issue. Anyway I ordered 2 shorts here at TE. I called TE before ordering, spoke to Susan very helpful & informative. TE customer service deserves a big cheer. If you have question they can probably answer them.
