Sugar Knickers vs. Ergo Sensor Knickers

[pooks]

I'm trying to choose between these. Anybody familiar with both or either?

The XL on the Sugar Knickers looks like it will fit me. It appears it will take the XXL in the Ergos.

I have the Sugar Knickers, and for some reason they feel like they run a little smaller than the Sugar Short. I'm about an 8 or a 10 in women's sizes and I take a medium. The Sugar Knickers are very comfortable but if you don't like low-rise stuff you won't like them -- they have a big dip in front and are fairly low-rise all around.

They are also fairly lightweight -- not really for very cold weather, but perfect for fall.

Thanks -- I'm a little hesitant about the low-rise. I may try the Ergo first.

Unless I try the Terrys.

Sigh.

Hi pooks... I just got a pair of the Terry knickers, they are great. Very comfy, nice fabric for feel and temperature control, good sizing, got the flex chamois which I like. 10/10

Hey Pooks,

I've tried both.

Sugar Knicker
Pros: Comfy, nice chamois, comfortable opening at leg
Cons: Extremely low rise, thin fabric (this is a pro for me, but might be a con for you if you want them for cool weather.)

Ergo Sensor Knickers
Pros: Thick, durable fabric, would probably keep you warmer than the Sugars. Pretty and slimming blue contrast stitching.
Cons: The chamois is nice but might not be appropriate for long rides. Blue contrast stitching might limit you in terms of matching colors.

Have you considered Shebeest Pedal Pushers? I'm a big fan. And of course I've heard wonderful things here about the Etxe Ondo knickers, but I'm waiting for the warmer weather styles to come in.

Happy shopping,

Cari
