women's shorts: primal gear?

teamestrogen.com has a bunch of primal gear shorts for sale ... but, going to the primal website,
there's absolutely no talk of materials, lengths, nothing. It seems like the only difference in
their women's models is the "flair" -- some have butterflies, some psychedelic designs, etc.

Some of these designs actually look neat, but I'm suspicious of any company that sells performance
gear based on looks, not functionality. And I'd think that if the gear has features that make it
particularly functional, they'd toot their own horns a bit about it.

Anyone have experience with these things? Are they any good, or just for show?

I've owned Primal products in the past and they are of nice quality. The only problem I had was I
always thought the design looked cool at first but after wearing them time and time again I got sick
of looking at them. So I switched to Fox Racing products (because that is what I used to wear when I
raced motocross) and have been happy ever since...Mike

one thing i'd keep in mind for shorts is how long the inseam is. 5" is just to short if you ask me,
I much prefer a 7" in seam, lycra or baggies. I think you have to have tooth pick thighs to not get
chafing with the shorter ones.

Thanks for the info. Good point about getting sick of the design ... I'll have to think about that.

Good point ... the Primals all seem to be 5" with a couple of 6" thrown in for good measure ... (got
that info off the teamestrogen site; primal's website reveals nothing. very weird.)

I ended up buying the "Team Estrogen" store-brand 8" ... they seem to fit nicely, but I'll have to
wait to actually test them out till this weekend, assuming my cold has seen fit to depart by then.
*achhoooo!*
