I had Canari gel shorts which I wore and hated all last summer. Hated! They don't breathe at all. Sticky and gross. Plus the padding was bit much whenever I tried to walk around. I switched to a pair of Sheebest knickers for the spring and was amazed at what difference it made. The padding is thinner but more targeted to the right places and it breathes! I just bought a pair of the Sheebest Ultra Ds for summer and am very happy with them on long rides. But everyone is different....
