Tightness is an issue. If they are stretched quite tight, they are more
likely to show something. That relates to how well a particular brand fits you.
Merider,
take a look at the Team Estrogen website. My wife gets her Craft shorts there.

Yep. My wife had a chance to teach overeseas for a couple years, so here we are. Cycling is great. My bike club's colors are red/yellow. No way we put on a show the way the Polish riders do. I think see through has as much to do with thickness of material as color. Cargo shorts and doing seroius cadence. No thanks. I'd trip over my cargo shorts leg openings. THose cheap 19 dollar bike short. Thin material. Don't wear em, its show and tell. Go for the 49 dollar pair. When not on sale.

Well, the pair I had on yesterday is bigger than I normally buy actually. They only had size medium at Performance. And my other bike shorts fit fine. I think it's quality in this instance.

Hmm, I have a pair of Performance ultra bibs (last year's model). I guess I'll just use it for the trainer then.

The means to check out your 'exposed cleavage' while riding in bright daylight. . Hold a mirror between your legs , looking back at the rear view, under a bright sunlamp.
