What is anyone's opinion on white cycling shorts? Like them or not?

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I take it from your forum name, you do?

No, my last name is Moore, the see is for C!
I was just wondering because I found a good sale on some Castelli shorts and the sale is only in white.

Personally, I don't wear white anything. I can spill/stain with the best of them. I also have convinced myself that black looks smaller

I know some models have major see through issues. You might want to search and see if you can find a specific review of the one you want.

that's probably why they are on sale... no one buys them

Personally, no. But then, I don't wear white anything because I could stain for England. Guys in white shorts... uh-uh, big no-no.

But in the pictures the models do look cute in white. So if you like white and ride in dry conditions, why not give it a try. Get a good friend to check the "visibility", though...

(Just rode behind a guy briefly yesterday, who was wearing very worn black shorts with a large circular thin spot like a bullseye right over his butt crack. My eyes still hurt. I very nearly tapped him on the shoulder and said something, but I just couldn't think of any conceivable way of saying that politely to a stranger.)

No way for me. I don't wear anything in white. It turns me into a stain magnet...and I would probably be mistaken for a large household appliance.

Personally, I wouldn't wear them. I have red Castelli shorts that I'm hesitant to wear in public.

But I do know women who do with confidence. I think "confidence" is the operative word here.

I'd question how long they'd last - at what point do they stop looking hot and become shorts you'd only wear under tights or on the trainer in the basement?
