bike shorts

[KSH]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good padded bike short that isn't so ugly looking in the front. You know, with the seam and all going straight down the front, it's not very, shall I say, flattering.

Thanks!

Eh... they are all ugly if you ask me.

I can't belive I have worn them in public places even!

But, whatever... they serve a purpose.

I do like the Pearl Izumi Sugar Short. They aren't as long, and the material is really soft. They also have a really thick pad and run around $40.

I totally agree on all points and I love my Sugar Shorts...even if they make my legs look huge!

The Bellas are Terry. i wore them for a 24 mile ride today and they are perfect. Tight, smooth, thick, but not too thick lycra, a low waist and back, flat front, and a dark navy chamois. Compared to other shorts like this that cost $120, I'm going to buy more.

I just got a pair of womens' Zoot tri-shorts. I really like them. There isn't too much padding and the material is a little lighter than cycling shorts.

Do you do triathalons, or are these strictly for cycling?

I just want to mention that I like to wear bib shorts and they never restrict my belly It also doesn't matter if my shirt rides up a little in back, because I know I'm covered.
