Matt Lycra?

Hi,
I am looking to pick up some bib shorts but have limited shops nearby so will have to order on the interweb. My query is, which brand(or model) has a nice matt finish to their shorts? Most of the photos on the likes of wiggle or CRC do not let me see if the material is matt or a horrid wet look finish.
I guess I am looking for some stealthy gear to avoid the attention that shiny lycra will bring to my beer belly :oops:

Cheers

    A beer belly is nothing to be ashamed of, you've earned it well just now you're trying to lose it, except weight doesn't vanish from the areas where you'd like. I've lost over a stone and still the same waist measurement :(
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I have a pair of De Marchi bibs that have a nice, matt finish. Very well made too.
    Hypocrisy is only a bad thing in other people.

    Ta,
    I will have a look for some De Marchi. Any others that will have the desired matt finish?

    Depends on your budget to some extent but the Rapha shorts come in a matt finish.

    WOW,
    120 quid on a pair of shorts that equates to 24% of the price I paid for my bike :?
    Any cheaper options out there?
