    Hi Becky,
    do those have the Kiss chamois (I think they do...).

    It is on the thin side but it's very, very comfortable (in my opinion at least). I have a couple of shorts with this chamois and I really like it.

    Yep, they do. Never tried the Kiss chamois before, but I've read that it's thinner, so that makes it a good possibility for me.

    Becky........I thought I'd report back about the Ibex El Fito knickers I received from TE Saturday afternoon, juuussst in time for the cold front that moved in overnight. Wore them this morning for a 15-mile jaunt in high 30s, plus gusty winds. LOVE them! Comfortable, perfectly warm, great fit. I really like the 3/4 length, too! And the chamois is so comfortable that I 'forgot' about it during the whole ride---These will definitely be my #1 choice for winter riding, except in really frigid temps. Then I'll opt for the full-length Ibex tights that I nabbed last winter for a great price at a ski shop. The only downside to that pair is no chamois. But I probably wouldn't opt for a long ride in super-low temps anyway, so the lack of padding won't be an issue.

    I still don't like the chamois in the El Fito knickers, but I haven't ripped it out yet, because wearing smartwool undies keeps the chamois surface away from my skin. Easy, and less dangerous than hacking away at it with my seam ripper.
