bike shorts
I have been cross training with spin classes and wow is the tush sore! So, I am looking at bike shorts. I am finding them between $20- $160. Quite a range. I wanted to know if yall had any advice or favorite brands. If it is worth the investment, I dont mind saving up some pennies to get more expensive ones. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

My bike shorts are sugoi's and cost me about $90. They have define padding. My tri shorts are actually a bib from DeSoto and run about 150 much less padding than the bike shorts but still comfortable.

I have the answer for the horse....I have a super thick sheepskin cover (a bit pricey) that was fantastic! Cant remember where I got it though!

Good quality shorts/Capri's/pants (whatever you choose) with a nice thick chamois (the padding) are worth spending the money on. You don't want to cheap out because it does matter. However, you can find sales and get expensive items for affordable prices.
Locally we have a Pearl Izumi outlet that gives great deals, there is also some great on line retailers that sell high quality items at discounted rates. So, bottom line, unless the shorts are originally $60+ and marked down to $20...don't bother.
Here's some sites:
