Chamois Proportions

[nuthatch]

I know this is heresy, but what are anyone's thoughts on wearing men's shorts? Does the width in the front just wad up on you? I'm trying to get the back part wider than most women's shorts and it looks like men's chamois are wider there.

My dh handed down a brand new pair of mens Trek he got for pretty cheap, he said they just didn't feel that good to him. So I figured what the heck I would try them. They are one of my favorite pairs of shorts now. I have very muscular legs (don't want to say fat) My husband is 6 inches taller then but we both have the same thighs and almost the same inseam. I guess that's good for me i can wear some of he's stuff except the pants have to be taken up and there tends to be to much room in the hips. Well anyway, they worked for me. I also have a pair of performance men's fleece lined tights I really like. They are a bit to long but no big.
Oh the chamois is wider in the butt so it cover's my sit bones nicely!

I'm thrilled with the Sugoi Evolution Shorty shorts. I seem to have a fairly short straddle and most shorts come up too high in front and cut into my digestion. I'm not thrilled with the bib idea either, the only one I tried on that was boobage compatible was the Assos but the pricetag was obscene!

The Evo shorts are much lower in the front, when I'm standing they come up to about 2.5" below my navel/natural waist. So, they do feel slightly like they're falling down when I'm standing up straight, but on the bike they're perfect. And the matte fabric is nice.

A couple years ago I tried sugoi evolution shorts. The thread they used to stitch in the chamois was coarse & uncomfortable. Have they changed that??
