For commuting I have been wearing stuff in the morning and wearing different stuff home. Where the shorts are bigger and bulkier and more expensive does anyone wear the same set home that they wore in the morning. I plan on wearing mine without underwear as recommended and it doesn't seem smart to wear them again without washing them. I'm thinking 1 pair in the am and another pair home.
Make sense?
BTW: my commute is under an hour, but is 13 miles and I sweat a lot.
I'm in Houston and my commute is roughly equivalent (14 miles one way). Typically I wear roadie regalia. Why? I found baggy MTB shorts snag on every protuberance on the bike and at only one layer thick the roadie gear is cooler. As for how ofter do I change my shorts I pick one pair for the full day. If I'm really sweaty the shorts dry fast and are usually ready to go by the afternoon.
