    I wear these pretty much all the time for much the same reason as DG, tried and true chamois I know and love.

    I'm also interested in a pair of capris or knickers. As for me, I don't need anything ultra high performance. I want something I can wear to public places and feel comfortable just sitting in for awhile. Anyway, I'm curious to know if anyone's tried the Gore capri pants or has any suggestions.

    I'm not familiar with the knickers mentioned, I have a pair of Shebeest Pedal Pushers, and a pair of Witches Britches from Ground Effect - I like them equally. The WB's are great because they have a fleece lining in the knees.

    I got a pr of Boure knickers last spring and like them a lot. Mail order, great service, competitive price, sizing may be a little on the large side.

    I have the Louis Garneau Sensor Knickers http://tinyurl.com/mt888

    They are ok, but the chamois is a little soft. I like the styling otherwise. I tried about four or five other brands of knickers without finding one I liked, and eventually just gave up and kept these...

    I also have the Witches Britches - they're great, but should be worn in cold weather as the knees can get too toasty otherwise.

    And I have the Pedal Pushers - Snap we have the same taste in knickers. I also like them a lot. Wore them for the first 2/3 of my 600k and they were great!! Of course, I wore a hole in the inner thigh from an untested bike bag which I better fix pretty soon!
