The reviews I read on the short just refer to it as the "Ergotex" shorts and LG's web site doesn't refer to multiple models of Ergotex shorts so when I ordered them I assumed I was getting the same pair reviewed in Bicycling magazine. Since they were priced the same as the pair on LG's website why would I assume they were anything different. I don't think people are going to look that closely when ordering these shorts. I disagree with you about the screwing part, Nashbar is benefiting from the positive reviews of the product and then cutting corners by selling it with an inferior chamois. Now if Nashbar was selling them for $69.99 vs $89.99 I would have looked closer. They should have put something in the description about why it was exclusive, to be honest I just thought they were the only ones who sold Ergotex shorts.
I returned them but they hit me with 10% restocking fee because I removed the tags.
Be warned do your research with Nashbar products.
