Portly shorts

I'm having trouble finding good-fitting bike shorts. My waistline needs
an XL short, but my inseam wants an M, if you know what I mean. Shorts
with large enough waistlines are too long for me.

Does anyone know of a particular short which features a shorter inseam
for those of us with wider waistlines?

Thanks,
- Bob

Have you looked into bibs, instead of shorts?

Well, I've looked "at" them, but not in any great detail. Tell me why
you think they would be a good fit for me?

I fit into the Fattie Master category. I've found bib shorts the only way
to go. The waist line doesn't fold down under, nor is there any undo
pressure around the waist. And you avoid the dreaded plumber's butt. I
haven't worn short since I tried my first bib.

Performance's house brand bibs come in sizes for those of us whom gravity
makes awesome on descents! I also really like the DiMarchi Contour Bib plus
as well... finding them much more comfortable than the performance shorts
but more expensive as well.

HTH YMMV

I don't get the problem, the shorts are too long and end near your knee? The
cheaper shorts do tend to be shorter. I think 8" is the shortest leg you'll
find.

Besides, it ain't like the over-long short is going to ruin your sexy, sleek
look.

Being over thick about the middle myself, let me suggest bibs.
