Lickton's Bike in Chicago carries the Sportique chamois cream, along with the rest of their line, which I think is fabulous. My favorite is their Elements cream, to protect skin from sun & wind. I've been using this on my face for wind protection on very cold, windy rides & have come back just fine. My face doesn't get red & raw anymore, comes back nice & smooth.

For someone who rides in the winter, it is worth every penny.

For the poster who had residue left in the chamois after machine-washing, try washing inside-out. I always wash with the chamois facing out & never have any residue, even with gentle environ-friendly detergents. An extra-rinse cycle can help, too.
