This is the deal, for my own reasons I choose not to wear traditional black, tight, lycra shorts. I don't have any gripes with those who do and I do not doubt that there is an absolute benefit to wearing them. I do not want to start an argument that I cannot possibly win.
Simply I am looking for something in between these traditional shorts and the baggy cargo type or mountain bike garb that I usually unhappily settle for.
For the cold, I have found what I am looking for, these pants marketed as 'commuter pants', not tights but still tighter fitting and less wind resistant. Nothing thus far for the summer.
I have looked at the sites of the online vendors and have only found the two extremes. Anyone have an idea?
I know what you're saying I don't like walking around in a "posing pouch" myself. The manufacturer Sugoi has what they call Remote shorts. They look like normal baggies, but have breathability and padding.
Sometimes I wear the lycra bike shorts and put a decent looking baggie bathing suit over-top for "modesty"
The thing you want to think about when wearing something over bike shorts is does it have minimal seams. Having no seams to cause irritation is a plus of biking shorts besides the padding of course.
