Embarassing Saddle Issues...

[KnottedYet]

I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but things can be created for one reason, and continue to be used, or further developed for other reasons.

Yes, we know that. I'm not sure what you are driving at?

You seem to have an issue with my post. I stated the history of chamois. I made a conditional statement (those are the ones that start with "if") that if the modern fashion of padded chamois was miserably uncomfortable for someone, they should try riding in unpadded shorts. The second phrase only applies to those for whom the first phrase holds true. Conditional.

The world didn't end when we rode on flat bits of leather, and it won't end now if someone eschews modern padded chamois.
