Ladies,

I'm still a new rider and have not purchased a nice pair of shorts. I have a generic padded brief I've worn under tights for now. I was wondering what brand and style is recommended? I've checked online with Liv's gear and I'm leaning towards the compression shorts with chamois built in, or baggies. I don't know which is better for what I do. Just light to moderate trails right now. Thanks!

Best to try different brands as the chamois is all different as is the fit. Baggies vs lycra is a matter of personal preference.

Sorry for the slow response but you should check out bibs! They're way more comfortable than your typical short. The only downside used to be going to the restrom, but brands have that figured out now....

My personal favorite is the Giro Chrono. It even has a little integrated storage pouch on the back so you can stash stuff.
