Performance Century shorts are pretty good and affordable. A word of
warning: buy high end bicycling shorts at least 1 size larger than you
would buy for anything else. Curiously, cheap shorts seem to be sized
more like what I experience in other types of clothing. I'm 5'9", 170
lbs. Sure, I could stand to lose 10-15 lbs, but I seldom need to buy
large anything, except good cycling shorts. Bet on it: the more
expensive they are, the smaller they will be.

"Best" is a very subjective term. Personally, I like Nalini and
Castelli better than Pearl Izumi and Pearl Izumi better than
Performance. Others may rank them differently. The only way to really
tell is to try them.

Assos is the way to go. They are the best.

I agree that the "best" is subjective.

I also agree that Assos are excellent. But try Boure', which is a
small company in Durango, CO. I find thier Elite Pro Shorts to be as
comfortable as my Assos at less than half the price.
