Does anyone do "half & half" shorts?

[Kermit power]

By which I mean something not quite so unflatteringly figure hugging as traditional lycra, but a stretchier and lighter fabric than most MTB baggies seem to be.

I'm after something for use on road bikes which won't restrict me or be too hot, but won't also sear the full glory of my arse onto the visual cortex of anyone who happens to be behind me.

Half & Half shorts you say?

Definitely need more chamois than that!

What about some Lycra shorts with a pair of baggies over the top?

Touring shorts?

I believe they are less baggy than "normal" MTB baggies.

Thanks for that. I've just ordered a pair off Amazon to try them out.

Just given these a little 8 mile run round the block. Obviously not far enough to really test them, but they certainly feel very comfy, and I didn't notice any pedestrians gouging their eyeballs out, so all good!
