Pro  5153    Helena, MT |  Subject: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap...Well, first off, since it didn't mention that they had clothes for both genders, I naturally assumed that I was ordering Men's sizes. So, I got medium tri shorts because I've got a large behind, to say the least (J. Lo ain't got nothing on me). So, I slip on my medium women's shorts and think, I'm about to bust these things. So, I go look in the mirror and turn around and the shorts have a lower and upper panel, two different materials. Well, I turned around to see.... MY BUTT CRACK!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! They are completely see through! Now what? I thought that these were just overstocked, not triathlon gear for exhibitionists. I don't even know who to contact..... :-( Good thing I can sew. |

Extreme Veteran 531 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... OH NO KIM! hopefully there will be someone out there (maybe me) that ordered some shorts that were too large and could just switch. When I get my shorts/jersey, which i hope is soon, i'll let you know if i'd make a good trading partner... but hopefully they can be salvaged... |

Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: Yeah, I got it yesterday.... Don't worry. It's not a scam. It's just see-through so you'll never actually wanna wear it. :-P LOL! |

Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... LMAO!!!!!! Maybe so... she wears see through stuff from time to time even. I'll just give her a ring. |

Elite 3235 San Diego | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... I'm so sorry Kim and everyone else. I had no idea the clothes were see through when I posted the ad. The clothes I have are black and I got to try them on, so I just picked the clothes that fit, I didn't see what the size difference was. Sorry :-( Tom |

Elite Veteran 970 Smyrna, Georgia | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... Well, maybe if you have a large sized pair the material won't be so stretched and hence, no butt crack. If that doesn't work, just look at it as a method of distracting your competitors!  I ordered a pair of large tri shorts. If they're too small for me, I can work something out with you. |

Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... Totally not your fault. When you get that little description, it's buyer beware. Luckily, I'm a fair seamstress, so I'm planning to just sew in a panel so I don't scare every single person who passes me. ;-) As for the size, well, as redbull said, if anyone has a pair that's too large, maybe we can work out a trade. If not, well, I CAN fit in them (can is not synomomous with should, but I don't have to see me! LOL!) Anyhow, don't feel guilty. No one knew.... including you! |

Elite Veteran 970 Smyrna, Georgia | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... If it makes you feel better, my tri shorts are very tight. In fact, there's a little bit of the dreaded over/under fat hanging out. Oh well. I figure it's just extra compression and that my butt will be very well supported during the run. |

Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... Well, I have to say, though I felt that I was stretching the very molecules of the fabric, they did give my butt such support that I looked like rap video material. Enormous, gravity defying butt. LOL! Hopefully the seams are good.... :-O |

| Resident Curmudgeon 25290 The Road Back Gold member | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... Even with cycling clothes I have to take an XL or sometimes even an XXL. Regular T-shirts and stuff I wear a L; golf shirts I can fit into a M. |

| Expert 1238 Denver, Colorado | Subject: definitely no room for a size mistake here I got my new Duofold threads today, and now I see what you mean. Luckily I don't have a butt at all, so there's nothing to see when I try them on, but I still think I'll be self-conscious riding in these things, always wondering what people can actually see back there. I hope that all of your trades work out so that triathlons can stay rated PG. -dave |

| Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: definitely no room for a size mistake here LOL! Oh good, I was starting to wonder if they were only see through because I was stretching them so horribly. I'm going to sew in another layer of spandex to keep some measure of decency. |

| Member 27 Jefferson City, TN | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... I got a pair of shorts (XL) and a shirt (XL). They seem to be sized very small. I have an older brand of bike shorts that are sized large. These new XL shorts are much smaller than the L shorts I already have. I'd be willing to trade either for a larger sized pair of shorts and/or shirt. If I don't get any takers, I'll probably just give them to my training partner. He's smaller than me and could probably get away with wearing them. BTW, they were delivered UPS Ground. I ordered them almost two weeks ago. |

| Elite Veteran 970 Smyrna, Georgia | Subject: RE: definitely no room for a size mistake here Just a thought -- maybe good wicking underwear would be okay to wear under them. Of course, then you'd have VPL. |

| Regular 135 Romeoville, IL | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... I'll take VPL over VAC any time! I think my package is being held hostage by the leasing office, but I'll get it tonight. |

| Veteran 540 Philadelphia, PA | Subject: RE: So I figured out why that Duofold stuff was so cheap... Glad to see that people are getting their packages. When I read the subject of the post, I thought for sure that I was out of $89. I will report back once I get them. I ordered everything in XL. If they are too small, I will let you guys know. Can anyone tell me - how they were shipped where they came from how long it took to get them I ordered them on July 23rd, 2 weeks ago tomorrow and I live in Philly. |
