I like my 2 pair of Cannondale shorts. One pair has the old style synthetic chamois and the other has the newer "pad" style chamois. The Pad pair is not overly thick in the chamois and doesn't bunch up on me, the old style pair is my all round favorite and has served me well and are also my oldest shorts. They have worn very well . I'd recommend either type and Cannondale shorts in general to those asking me. My wife has a pair of C'Dale's women's shorts with the modern padded style and has enjoyed them. She does prefer a "Baggy" short most times but uses the Lycra for longer rides.

I don't see or hear of many others wearing the C'Dale shorts. No explanation, maybe people just don't associate Cannondale with kit. Seems a shame to me. However my next purchase of shorts will be the bib shorts when Curtis (ccurlew) is able to organize another 50+ kit purchase. Gotta be representin'a know!
