I'm on the hunt for a pair of shorts and am being indecisive. I'm after something with a couple of gel pockets plus a zipped pocket big enough to take a small emergency phone - the standard top of the arse style zip pocket is big enough.

Right now I can't decide between two styles though - twin skin or single. On the single front something like the Montane VKM shorts looks ideal (though for the life of me I can't find any photos of their pockets, so can't see if they'll do.) On the twin skin front I'm looking at the Salomon Endurance Twinskin shorts.

Do people notice any benefit to the twin skin style? I do have a pair of 'tight' style shorts already which with something like the VKM I could chuck underneath on cooler days, so I'm veering that way right now - but I'm open to suggestions.
