Need help with women's cycling shorts

[steelbikerider]

My wife is riding some(5-10 miles around the neighborhood) and needs a couple of pair of shorts. She has 1 pair of basic black and wants some color. We've looked at Castelli, PI and Giordana but no interest. I'm hoping for less than $120 each. Where should I start since I don't want to spend all day on the internet.

my GF's favorite shorts are Bontrager...she's tried PI and a few others, but these are her favorite...comfortable and not the chaffing she'd get with others. I dunno what she pays for them tho...probably $80-90 at the LBS.

Bellweather, Aerotech designs (later made in US), Terry

No need to go into Castelli level

Wife who rides decent amount said her Bellweather's most comfy besides here Capo's

My wife is all-in on Terry.
She's ridden others in the past, but for her, the different material (not as compressive) and the cut makes them her one-and-only.
She DOES have several different models and likes them all.

I'm a big fan of Voler shorts. They are reasonably priced (especially when on sale) and come in colors.

^^THIS^^ Voler products are really well made (in the USA!) comfortable and reasonably priced.

Thanks all. My wife liked the Bontranger shorts with the flower leg band.
