The Ibex shorts have found a new home
Pity that I couldn't wear them. I imagine that all of their chamois are from the same material so this probably means I just can't wear their cycling shorts at all...
Oh well, they have other things that I can try. I note that Smartwool has bib shorts, and the chamois is covered with Smartwool as well. I don't know about that... Has anyone here tried them? I just noticed them at my LBS recently.

I don't like the thought of a wool chamois... although I do wear the Ibex boy shorts under my tights when I hike, nordic ski, or winter run. But a wool chamois seems, ah, thicker and makes me itch thinking about it coming in contact with my delicate parts.

I agree - I touched the chamois at the store and it didn't seem any thicker than the pad in my PI shorts - but the surface was different - of course. Considering the cost it would not be worth the experiment - especially since the mere thought makes me itch

To me the Smartwool covered chamois is nice.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
