    I haven't found a chamois wide enough to fit my sits bones.

    I'm very sad the Ibex El Fito chamois doesn't fit, either, but I love my El Fito capris so much that I don't really care.

    My B67 (same top as the B68) is so comfy that I often ride without any chamois.

    I just noticed my first sitbone dents in my new B68 saddle- they are right where they SHOULD be , on either side of the back. My old B17 had sitbone dents "trying" to form right on the edges of the saddle, and that's really how I knew it wasn't wide enough for me- i was riding partly on the side edges.

    I find two styles of SheBeest chamois are truly wide enough for me-
    ONe: the SheBeest chamois that comes both on their SB Pedal pushers, and the SB Tech tights (long).
    and Two: the SB Ultra D shorts have a very nice wide pad that is great for long distances. Since my Brooks saddle has no padding at all, the Ultra D shorts don't seem like excess padding to me. They are in fact my most comfy chamois for any rides. Sometimes i wear them with long non-padded warm tights or knickers.

    By the way, the SB Tech tights are on sale right now here:

    I have them and they are very warm and comfortable with a nice chamois.

    unless i am on a really long ride, I don't worry about Chamois either. Really long means more than 25 miles. I have a pair of Terry shorts that seem very nice. But i just don't have a problem, so i don't know if the Chamois is big enough or not.
