I am interested in what you all think about the Sugoi RS Flex shorts. I have worn a pair with a Specialized women's Jett 155 saddle, and I get rubbing on both sides of my pelvis when I ride. It is really hard to tell whether the chamois is too wide, the shorts are too big, or the saddle is too wide. I am NEW to touring, and this is my first pair of padded bike shorts EVER. Your input would help me so much, as I always feel like the men at my cycle shops (where are the women riders in Chicago?) don't know what I am talking about.

I originally thought the Jett was too wide and I should try a narrower one, but now I am thinking maybe the Sugoi shorts simply are too loose. I have a Medium, but perhaps I need a Small? Any thoughts from anyone on this thread? How tight do I need to go? I hate it when there's a bulge of skin below the elastic on my shorts! Ew!

Also, what are Shebeest and can they *really* be more expensive than the $125 Sugois?

I really appreciate your insights. I want to come back from a 2-hour ride with only my legs hurting, not my crotch!
