I typically ride in just my beat-up cargo shorts.
Lately I've become frustrated with the way regular shorts ride on the waist, plus there are lots of great materials and features like a removable chamois that I could benefit from. So I'm buying some baggies.
The issue is, shopping for these things, it seems like most of the highly recommended baggies (Oakley Ballistic, Fox Ranger/Attack) are super long. I'm 5'9" and have a fairly evenly proportioned leg:torso ratio, and to be honest I don't really like shorts that hang much below my knees.
Any good shorts out there that have a more normal fit? I'm not looking for Daisy Dukes here, just a short that hits right about knee-length. Anyone tried hemming their shorts? Some of them I've looked at won't hem because the pockets extend down the full length of the short.
Other considerations: must have at least 1-2 pockets, preferably a removable chamois, and available in a simple color scheme.
