These shorts ROCK!
Awesome shorts. I doesn't bind as much as my Fox shorts. I'm guessing that's because of the softer shell. The shell also lets me slide around in the saddle more, so I get more mobility. I like the front pockets too, they're more upright and let me drop things in quicker. And the waistband has the right about of velcro and elastic. Fits great and keeps my butt crack where it needs to be. In private. The MP3 pocket fits an iPhone 3GS perfectly, even with a case.
Follow-up
Okay, there are two problems with the iPod controls. 1) When using an iPhone, you get no controls after the phone locks. This is understandable. But 2) the controls are very fickle. Sometimes during the middle of a song, it would start over from the beginning. Halfway though a ride, the volume turned itself all the way down, and I could turn it back up. So the controls seem to have a mind of their own.
You're better off just using the controls on the ear buds instead of the shorts.
