I can find no evidence of a company website, suddenly. I have a pair of shorts that I've not had long (not purchased from TE and the retailer apparently won't handle warranty stuff--that'll learn me!), but the stitching is essentially dissolving on either side of the chamois where it attaches at the inner thigh and rubs against my saddle. I'm totally bummed, since they are, by far, the comfiest short I've ever worn.
Guess I'm stuck with PI and their diaper-like chamois, since they are the only brand that has never given me trouble in this spot (I've had similar issues with several other brands, unfortunately).

I suddenly can't find their stuff in stores, either. I was kind of wondering the same thing. I love their shorts so I hope not!

Nothing on their facebook page either way? Though the last post was August 10, and apparently their website has been down since at least Sep 12 (From comments).

Ok, update again, I think Shebeest was distributed by Veltec sports, which is shutting down (or has shut down). News article is here:

So the individual brands may still be out there...? I have some descente warmers that I really like, too.

Amazon.com has a fairly large selection, so you might look there. I just ordered their very last pair of 41 wide.
(Actually I hope it's 41 and I hope they're true to Lake's size chart. Amazon only gave USA sizes, which Lake's own size chart converts a Euro 41 to a US 7, but I normally take a 9 wide in US men's shoes and at least a 42 in Euro sizes just to get enough width. We'll see - I'll return them if I have to.)

I love the Bella shorts. They are extremely compressive, have a chamois that is not a diaper, and a flat waist. The only reason I got the Shebeest S Pros was that the Bellas were too heavy/hot when i went to Spain and the sweating caused an issue, so now I alternate.
However, I could not wear the short version of the Bellas... something about the seam/chamois just dug into me and was excruciating.2015 Trek Silque SSL
