BlackBottoms Argento shorts

Pam recently tested the BlackBottoms Argento shorts. The Argento is a women-specific short with a reflective panel for maximum visibility. Pam wore the Argentos during her commute and thought the reflective design is a great concept, especially when working late and leaving after the sun has gone down.
She thought the 4-way stretch-pad was comfortable and the short-cut leg fit her thighs just right.
Her only criticism was the material used for the shorts. For lack of better words, it was slick and plasticky. I noticed the blend BlackBottoms sent us (86% nylon/14%s pandex) is different than the blend they’re selling now (79% nylon 21%spandex) and that may account for the shininess.
If you’re riding at night, on dim-lit streets, the Argentos are a good choice.
