"the bunker"
i need some assistance...i used to wear athletic shorts that were actually two pair of shorts in one...can`t find a picture.....i used to have chronic hamstring issues and i actually think they helped keep the hammy`s warm when playing ball...

they were kind of a double layered short...the outer short was shorter.... with a sort of longer gray jersey short sewn into/under the outer short...not sliding shorts(i don`t think)...

the most comfortable shorts i`ve ever worn...don`t know the name and can`t seem to find them on the internet...was thinking about getting into an over-50 softball league and would like to pick up a few pair....

anybody know what i`m talking about?.......maybe post a picture or give me the name of these mofos?......maybe they`re extinct.....

appreciate the help....:0074

I know what you are talking about. The kilt version is currently en vogue.....

If they're not extinct, they should be. My father-in-law sports these in the summer time.....dreadful.

comedians...:thefinger :lol: ....

i`m not worried about aesthetics....i`d like to make it through the season without the back of my leg turning bright purple and not being able to sit for a month...and i`m not anxious to wear two pair of shorts in the dead of summer....they`re very comfy to boot.....

anybody?...

Wease, those are old school.. pre- compression shorts era.
You need to buy a pair of compression shorts and then wear your athletic shorts over them. If you want compression shorts to show, wear 8" shorts. If you don't, go "gangsta" and wear the 12" style.

This.

not sure i could swing the 12 inchers....i`m a little more fred williamson/bernie casey than N.W.A...... was wearing those old school 2-in-1`s before the beatles became known(the lifeform,not the group).....

thank you my brother....:0074 .........i think i prefer the longer inseam on the compression short...after the first couple hamstring tears(feels like you`re being shot in the back of the leg with a high powered rifle)seemed like the old hammy would twinge after a hard cough....chronic and nasty..that`s when i saw the end of my athletic career looming,lol..but once i stopped sports related running,the years passed and i had no residual issues...

starting to push it a little on the treadmill...it`s been years since i played......curious to see how long i last until that flimsy paper mache holding the back of my leg together goes south... ....

odds that i make it out of training?.....not sure...feel like i`m practcing some unconscious self selection here...i can almost see darwin laughing his ass off at me...:D

thanks for the help,mj`ers....
