    I've never been convinced that I need knickers, maybe because I prefer to have options during my ride - and also because it was such a battle to find shorts with a chamois that I like that I wasn't willing to go through that again with knickers.

    Instead I use knee warmers from Pearl Izumi.

    The shebeest pedal pusher knicker that Lisa gave the link to. I also love the SSS 2007 shorts. I think the chamois is similar in the two. I just rode a century in the shorts and they were perfect the whole way along with being able to ride a recovery ride two days later without any discomfort.

    PI Sugar Knickers. Scooped comfier low-rise in front, the chamois is decent if a big fluffy and overpadded. Most importantly, the length is perfect for my legs which are a ~30" inseam with relatively long thighbones and shorter lower legs. The Sugar knicker comes to about 1" below my knees, while many other knickers extend further down to the widest part of my calves and the terminal elastic band cuts uncomfortably into my bulgy calves.
