If you're looking for wool shorts, try SmartWool. Nice pads, nice fit, and their blend of Merino wool and synthetic materials holds its shape a lot better than what I wore 35 years ago. They make bibs, knicks, tights, warmers, and jerseys, too. You can order online if you can't find it locally.

I've never had issues with bacteria or saddle sores. Of course, I do take a shower when I'm done, and sometimes I even persuade someone to help wash and dry Mr Winky. :D

I'll echo Squirtdad - Voler FTW. Good price, free shipping, great return policy. They fit well and wear well. I have a few different brands, but favor them.
Would you describe the fit as true to size? I'm on the cusp between S/M.

As cool as those pictures were to lots of people here. We do have women on this forum and we need to keep it clean.

Yeah - pretty true to size. I'm on the edge too, between L an XL. Since I have a longer than average torso, I go with the XL's.

Thanks for that info. After reading the return policy (free) I went ahead and ordered a S and M. I'm 5'8", 150 and a little change, which puts me at the low end of M, but the S fits fine. I haven't ridden in them yet but they do look pretty nice. I went with these bright blue ones on the deep discount to try them out. Seems like a pretty solid deal if you like the color.
