Ed: You want them because you don't like the look of the super-baggy style,
or you think that they'd be more comfortable? I don't think less "bagginess"
results in greater comfort until you get to the "tights" style. The relative
discomfort of baggy-style shorts compared to lycra is due to extra material
rubbing against itself and you, causing friction. It doesn't matter if
there's a lot or just a little extra material, the effect is the same. I
found this out once when for some reason I had to wear too-large lycra
shorts. For max comfort, you can't beat a tight-style fit. *Many* have tried
to prove this wrong.
