I normally cycle in leggings but thought I'd try out cycling shorts, so I tried out the everyday ones I had already (I'm a bit low on money atm). They are cut slightly shorter on the leg than the more common" just above the knee" ones, which I thought looked more flattering. I normally wear this pair under skirts so being a bit shorter in length was good because it means they don't stick out.
Anyway, I tried them and found that for cycling they started to roll up my leg and I had to keep adjusting them. I suppose they're more fashion shorts than sporty, and that's why? It's that thinner kind of material that doesn't hold in the body as much.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend proper cycling shorts with the thicker material that won't roll up, but that are not full knee length? Or is that just not going to work? I'm only cycling casually, I'm not a road cyclist or anything. And I prefer them to not have a pad. Thanks.
