V-

Of the 3, I have the Descente and the Sugoi. I love love love the Sugoi. The 2007 RS is worn by almost every woman in this office, with great success even though we are all different shapes and sizes. The fabric is light and oh so breathable. Fabulous on a hot day. And the chamois is top notch.

On the Descente - we sell a fair number of these as well (in fact we are out of several sizes right now) but our internal fit testing on this one is mixed. In the smaller sizes, it seems like the rise is a little low. I didn't find that to be true in my size (XL), but it's worth mentioning nonetheless. A common comment here in the office was that the chamois seems to be positioned a little farther back than on many other shorts. So it's not even visible on the front, but comes up a little high on the back. Again, YMMV as there are women in the office who are quite fond of this short. Fortunately, one of those wears the same size as me, which is good because I'm going to give her my pair, as I'm in the "chamois-too-far-back" camp.

I confess to not having worn the Etxe Ondo short yet. Renata here at TE has a pair of the knickers with the same chamois, but she's not ridden more than 50 or 60 miles in them. They were great at that distance.

I'm also quite fond of Gore's Ozon Short - http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=26192 Nice chamois (dense but not thick), supportive fabric, no elastic at the front of the waist (useful if you sometimes suffer "gastric issues" from long rides with too many supplement drinks), and a soft-touch leg gripper. I'm considering bringing these in in solid black to go along with the blue and white. My pair is all black and I really like them.

Hope this input helps.
