So... you ladies who need a saddle with a narrow nose, do you also find that most chamois are just too wide up front?
Any suggestions for shorts with a chamois that's narrower up front, but still wide enough in back for a big boned gal? ;) (one of my favorite k.d. lang songs)

The best chamios I've found so far is in Boure's Elite line (

I also like the shorts because they are longer than most--some might consider that a negative.

I like the Sugoi RS and Evolution shorts. The chamois is nice and narrow.

I just wear men's bibs. A lot of women's specific chamois pads are too wide, especially towards the nose/middle. Sometimes, they aren't quite wide enough at the sit bones (I use a 155mm Specialized saddle if that helps), but I'll sacrifice a bit of padding there for more comfort overall.
