I currently only own two pairs - a Bontrager (which I got for free from a drawing...$120 value) that only matches one of my jersey, and Sugoi. I don't remember the style.
I do not like the Bontrager's leg grippers, a little too restrictive, I do like the chamois as it's pretty much one piece, none of that 3D stuff. Kind of like a tri chamois, but thicker.
My Sugoi is the one that is most used, however, the rear of the chamois doesn't really fit my sitbones, and I think that's my issues lately after buying a new saddle, which I really like. They're okay for 20-30 milers, but after that, they start to "bunch" up a little, and chafe my inner legs a little. Hence why I need to look for better shorts.
I'm looking at LG Neo Power Shorts, Seebeest Century Elite Short, and LG Carbon Ion H-Flexx Shorts. (which was recommended to me due to Air Gel...but I cannot find it anywhere for a much cheaper deal).
However, my biggest concern is the size of the thighs. I have thunder thighs and I hate them. I'm having a HARD time to lose all the fat that's there (any suggestions besides lipo? :rolleyes:).
So, I'm wondering for those who have thick thighs, small waist - which ones above do you think are the best without me looking like a sausage and without looking like it's jiggling while I pedal. Is any of my choices good or poor? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks!
