I'm a big fan of the Endura Hummvee II.

Not cheap, but comes with the removable padded liner that retails for $40 by itself.  I have two pair, and combined with four liners you can pretty much ride four times before laundry is required.  It is pretty rare for me to bike four times in one week, but it does happen

Fit is great, snug at the waist without being too tight, with an adjustable belt to snug it up or loosen it depending on preference.  Shorts below the waist are nice and loose, which makes a big difference if you bike in the heat.  Deep zippered pockets that I can carry a camera in while I ride... and I don't know it's there.

I can ride in these shorts "as is" down to about 38 degrees, depending on wind (wearing a long sleeve jersey and light jacket and full-fingered gloves).  Beyond that I wear leg warmers under the shorts so I can remove them once I warm up.

Very sturdy.  I wore an old pair for a number of years until the printed logo literally wore off... but the shorts themselves showed only light wear.
