I bought some woman's bike shorts
Problem is I'm not a woman and I can't bring them back because it was a closeout sale.
I'm a little guy 5'9" x 150 lbs and they seem to fit okay.
I presume the padding is a little different though.
They're are Cannondale's, btw.

If they fit and when sitting on the bike everything is padded appropriately, who is to know? I say keep 'em. Either that or sell them on the forums here or on eBay if you are uncomfortable wearing womens clothing.

honestly, I could never tell which section of clothing was for which gender when at the LBS's I go to...
Jersey it's a bit more obvious... but shorts, gloves helmet and shoes... other than colour, not very obvious.
ME: "Oh... cycling gear, I need some... shorts and gloves... they look nice, nice colors, good padding..."
LBS: "that's the women's section... here are the mens..."
ME: "oh..."
