Knickers, Anyone?

[GLC1968]

I have been wearing shorts exclusively since I started biking, but this spring, I've decided to try knickers. I've gained some weight, so my shorts look extra sausage-y and unflattering, so I figure I'll try knickers. I don't do well with heat, so I'm not sure how much I'll wear them over the summer, but I used to see plenty of women wearing them year round in North Carolina (where I lived last summer).

I just ordered the Sugar Knicker from TE and I'm picking them up at lunch today, so I'll let you know what I think when I have more info. I picked these because the chamois looks to be a good shape and thickness for me and they were relatively inexpensive. I don't want to spend a lot of money in case I end up not liking knickers.

Came back to add:
Got the knickers - they are similar or same fabric as my PI shorts, so that part is good. They will probably be cool enough in summer (at least in the PNW, anyway). The chamois is the right shape and it's a good thickness...but man, it's HUGE in size! I'm not sure how I feel about it...it might be too diaper-y for me. I'll wear them for a ride this weekend (if I can sneak one in amongst the rain) and report back.
