Louis Garneau Airstreams. I wore them on my first double, with no creams of any sort, it rained and I had no problems. I wore them on my DMD attempt, 14 hours on the bike, my Davis Double and Little Red Riding Hood.

But sometime in August they started causing chafing in one spot on my butt.

I had lost a few pounds so I tried a smaller size, but I still had the chafing issues.

I did wear the smaller ones today and had no problems. Thom did just re-tension my saddle, so maybe it was something weird about the saddle and the shorts.

So right now I don't have any chamoises that I love for long distances. I wore my Assos knickers for 112 miles with Jo and they were okay, but the chamois kind of creeps on me. I don't think a size smaller in those would fit.

I have a ton of shorts though, so I'm going to keep wearing what I have and hope I fall back in love with a pair or two.
