    This is a sincere question from someone who hasn't owned any shorts long enough to become translucent.

    If the exterior is so worn out, isn't the chamois more than worn out and ineffective?

    I try to commute every day by bike, but my commute isn't always that long, so the state of the chamois isn't always that important but it's nice to have as many shorts as possible to switch around.
    But I'm thinking it may have more to do with the quality of the shorts (lycra thickness), the colour (grey is not black!) and how tight they are then how old the shorts are.
    Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
