I need new shorts for my upcoming Europe tour. Can you please recommend shorts/brand other than Pearl Izumi I should take a look at? I like heavier/thicker fabric, stretchier, less painted on style. I'm 6'3 and 195# on a good day, was XL in PI (which might account for those seeming to be now tailored for fatter people?).

Forever I've used Pearl Izumi Attack 8 panel shorts. But just bought a new pair and the fabric is thinner, stiffer, shinier, and quite cheap looking. And the shorts are tight on my thighs and looser on my waist than the old one (and I certainly am not aging into a better physique ...) Tried PI Expeditions too. Nice fabric and loved the pockets and longish legs, but even worse fit for me - even tighter legs, bigger waist, baggy butt causing gaping in the chamois.

Thanks!
