I usually wear baggies but screw it if it is super hot out I have no problem rocking just padded shorts. As I said before I wear roadie jerseys because they fit tighter which means they breath better and don't get hung up on crap as often. I have a couple small tears in my favorite jersey from wrecks but haven't hurt my tight tight shorts yet. I've taken more flack for my bright green baggie shorts than just wearing padded shorts lol. Nobody around here cares about your fashion choices and besides on my local trails you rarely run into anybody to care. I could ride nekkid most of the time.
