I really like the chamois on the Shebeest SSS short and the Elite Distance short.

The chamois looks bulky but its not. For long, hot, sweaty rides its great, it asorbs the moisture and I don't feel wet. Also, the fabric is great. I have two pairs of the SSS short that I bought a couple of years ago and I can't tell the difference them and the pair I just bought.

The SSS is a shorter length and is not so long on me.

Don't get the Shebeest sprint short if you ride long distances. I have a pair and they're more for short rides or spinning.

Also, the Shebeest chamois are cut to fit the short. I got a pair of REI shorts for Christmas. The chamois seems to big, like they cut the chamois the same for all their sizes.

Never tried Sugoi and I have a pair of LG's that I like. But I wear my Shebeest shorts the most.
