I have the same thoughts, I tend to look at the shorts and the saddle as a combo. I have a much more padded saddle that I sometimes put on the bike, the Selle Italia Diva Lady and I have to wear my lightly padded shorts with that saddle.
OK, I think I'll eliminate the LG's - I do really like Sugoi ... I have some other pieces of their gear and it fits me really well. But before I order, I'll throw another pair of shorts up for further consideration...
What about these Gore Ozon Lady shorts http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodGB_TOZONL_0.html
I've got a few pieces of their clothing (windvest, winter nix, gloves, sleeveless jersey) and it also fits well and I really like the quality. The chamois in their windstopper long nix is different to the one in these shorts, but I do like the look of this chamois. It has a little cutout area in the middle, it could be good for reducing pressure there I think. But I really like to have a bit of padding up the back as my preferred saddle is a bit firm, and this one doesn't look as thick up the back as the Sugoi one.
Does anyone have an opinion on these Gore's?
