My favorite shorts to date are my Pearl Izumi Rev shorts. Removable liner with chamois. I’ve the liners in the PI shorts to be very comfortable.
I am 5′ 10" and they fall right at my knees. Cargo pockets on both legs secure with velcro. The shorts have a nice stretch to them and don’t get in the way of riding. I found they breathed fine for summer riding. I also wear them in spring and fall paired with knee warmers.
