    Question Primal Wear Shorts chamois

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    How do folk like the chamois in Primal Wear shorts?

    How do we really feel about being totally coordinated? :-) I'm pondering a jersey/shorts set and um, afraid to be overly dressed. Tee hee

    I think coordinated jerseys/shorts are really cool! I have the Trashy Cat red sunflower outfit. I especially like wearing shorts that aren't solid black once in a while.

    I think Primal Wear has changed their chamois since I got mine, but I have three older pairs. LOVE the construction, fit, they'll stand up to anything. Just don't know about the most important thing, the chamois. Mine was a kind of formless quilted thing, which was fine at the time. No diaper butt. Now I prefer a more ergonomic formed multi-level stiff but smaller chamois.

    I use Primal indoors on the trainer and have used them on the road. The chamois is soft and doesn't stick out. I like the poison ivy shorts the best of them all, they have a better chamois. I just bought the Sugoi flex shorts, a real splurge for me and I do like the shaped chamois and padding much better.
    You can pick up shorts at the primal factory outlet online for as little as twenty dollars.

    I really like the Bonny Doon Pacific Rim Reisling (if you drink white at all). Bonny Doon is all around good stuff!

    I have wine class tonight. 5th of a 6 session class. Rhone valley will be covered. New world next week.

    I'm going to look like such a dork in this outfit when I take my first Napa ride. Tee hee

    Mmmm, Rhone. I _love_ Syrah. And Viognier. And Grenache in the form of Banyuls dessert wine. I'd go so far as to say Syrah is my favorite red.

    Favorite whites would be Gewurtztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc, Gruner Veltliner.

    I like the BD Pacific Rim, but it's a little dry. Like Malvasia Bianca (lime, minerals, green olive) don't like Big House White, LOVE Muscat Framboise, like Big House Pink, Like Vin Gris De Cigare a lot, (smells like watermelon, tastes like flowers) liked the Syrah Le Posseur, which we've discussed on here before (tannic, old bones, big chalky tones, rust.) Still many more BDV's to explore!
