I’ll check out the Everlast!

I wear Everlast sports shorts, the cotton ones, not really wicking ones. However if you are seriously concerned about chafing I’d strongly recommend some Skins. Maybe get some of them and suggest to FBH that you just wear them (without shorts) – which is something I’d never do – just to see her reaction. The compression wear doesn’t leave much to the imagination, even if they are dark in colour!

Yeah, I think that’s what the FBH meant as well when she said “too much flesh, dear”
I found some “normal” length shorts with the mesh and they seem to be working well on the shorter runs. May be the same style as what you have.

I use the wicking boardies with a mesh as normal shorts would be hell with the chafing over a long distance or if it got wet. Short shorts are not a good look for me!
