Shorts

The older thinner one

I agree with you on this one! I found the PI attack shorts were much more comfortable the a pair of
PI ultrasensors. the peripheral seams around the chamois just cut into my butt after maybe a 30
mile ride.

I found those expensive Pearl Izumi shorts with the blue waffle-surface chamois padding don't work
well for me. It feels like corrogated cardboard on my butt on hot and sweaty rides. The padding
has seams right down the middle that's supposed to bend or something to flex with the body, but I
found that the padding just bunches up and irritates my skin. The cheapest PI shorts have a flat
tan-colored padding that I actually like better.

make these today?

I know the shorts you're talking about -- I never sought them out for biking, but they were great
for sailing. I'm pretty sure Sportif still makes them. They have extra pockets and a double seat,
and are made of semi-stretchy nylon. They also have normal chino shorts and pants made of a
lightweight cottton/nylon/lycra blend, which are great for all around wear, including a bunch of
riding. I used to wear them all the time. I'm pretty sure they still make these too.

Thanks Matt, I've had Sportif clothes in the past & liked them. I'll give them a try.
