I actually wear the MUSA knickers and pants, but for a more feminine cut, I have the Shebeest Boardrider Capris. The fabric is nice and stretchy and there is a padded liner but you can remove it (I never wear the liner). You can find it on the Team Estrogen website, which was recommended by several
