The Pain!!!!
DO NOT BUY THESE SHORTS!!! (unless there is something wrong with you)
I thought I had an iron crotch, as riding in my flippin' blue jeans is something I can actually tolerate for quite a while.
5 mins on the wagon with these, and I thought I was being beaten on my arse with a 2x4, and about to get a colonoscopy and a vasectomy at the same time.
Good Heavens!!! Their Elite's and Ultra's are much better than these torturous abominations from hades!!!
These are for masochists only.

Century Gel shorts.
Ok, I'm only kidding. I suppose some people may really like these. I thought while walking through PBS yesturday, for a measely $25 on sale, I'll try them just for the heck of it. Ya never know, right?
NOT FOR ME!!!!

Getting what you pay for FTW?
It just seems that shorts are a really bad place to try to buy the cheap stuff.

^^^ I normally don't buy really really cheap stuff. On ocassion, I do try cheaper stuff, because every now and then, you'll find something that really does work well for you. For me, more often than not. But this time? Whoa, not a good buy. Though $25 is not much of a loss.
Like I said, I'm sure some people love them. For me, those babies were pure torture. WOW!! And I thought I could wear just about anything.
