What's the link again and is there a pic of the chamois? Thanks, ma'am.
I love my Shebeest for mountainbiking but not so happy about a road century. The Terry chamois is a close 2nd so again only a mtbike or short road ride option. I like thin, flat chamois for mountainbiking because the chamois and the saddle have an ongoing tangle otherwise.

Ooh, I like the names, plus Toasty Pie has thumb loopies.
So, the sizing verdict. Snap and MP and et al, can you compare to the PI Ultra/Microsensor, Castelli or Shebeest sizing? Or anything other brand?

I'm thinking hard about ordering some and the ice queen jersey (I think that's the name.)

Is there a savings for volume shipping? Tomorrow is going to be a perfect knicks day as well as when Spring is sprung.

Shipping is based on weight. Sizing seems right in line with other manufacturers. I appear to be a medium. Sturdy and average.

Witches sizing
The sizing does seem fairly well in line with PI and castelli. I wear L PI and Castelli, XL Assos (probably because they have that intimidating model) and pretty much L everything else (I'm about 5'9" and a 10 - 12 in "regular" pants). The L of the Witches Britches are perfect for me.

Thanks! I, too, found the Assos are a bit small so bought one size larger than the other brands.

Witches Britches Feedback
OK, I'm blatantly asking for some feedback for market research.
So, when I was in New Zealand last year, I stopped by the offices of Ground Effect. The people we were staying with are riding buddies of the Ground Effect guys, so it was a natural fit to go talk cycling and cycling clothing.
Ground Effect does not currently have a US distributor (or didn't as of last year, anyway) so at the moment the only way to get their product is to order it directly from them.
What I'd like to know from those of you who've tried their apparel is this: is it good enough, and distinctive enough, that it would be worth my time to talk with one or two of the distributors that WE buy from about setting up relations with the Ground Effect guys. That is, do you think the pieces are nice enough that they would sell well?
Of course, all of this assumes these guys even WANT to sell in the US. I have no idea about that - haven't asked them. But I would if I thought it would be worth their time and mine.
Ladies?
Susan
