OP,, I'm telling you straight up..

Find and try a pair of Craft shorts, the Elite In R Cool Pearls are nice but no where as comfortable as the Craft shorts.

I just took the Izumi's and the Craft's out of the closet,
In my hands the Pearls feel strong, solid, heavy and fit me tight with lots of compression in all the right places. The pearl's are comfortable throughout the ride.
BUT I want out of them after the ride asap....

In my Hands the Craft's feel strong, solid, LIGHT and airy and they fit me with IMO the perfect amount of compression WITHOUT feeling tight.
The Craft's are noticeably MORE comfortable throughout the ride and I don't feel the need to get out of them as soon as I'm back at the trail head.

Both my shorts are Large and when compared side by side, on top of, waist to waist, leg opening to leg opening that are so so close.
