All excellent and I can recommend. Get the best you can afford and:
Wash on gentle cycle using a gentle soap...eg. a wool mix.
Dry in the shade, I hang them over a doorknob overnight.
Apply a quality chamois cream like Assos before each ride.
That should keep them in top nick (ha!) for a while......
Cheers. I'll check out my LBSs with list in hand. I'll probably buy one of each of three brands. I've found there is a need to change the pressure points around subtly, and having three shorts of the same brand, model and size doesn't achieve this (doh!).
