Chamois Proportions

[SadieKate]

I just received a pair of the 2006 Ultrasensor shorts, and they are on their way back to you because the (change in) chamois just doesn't work for me - way too big, and stiff (doesn't seem to bend, just sticks out)! --- Denise

So, it wasn't just perception! I tried on a pair of tights with the chamois and thought the same thing! I've been a big Ultrasensor fan for years also, but that chamois was horrible.

I hate to say it, but I'm (also) glad to hear that it wasn't just me. I just don't understand why vendors change designs that work well. Moving Comfort did that a number of years ago - I used to wear their sports bras exclusively, but after that design change I switched to Champion. Since I buy so much online, I really prefer to have a known brand & product that I can safely purchase. I hope that finding new shorts that work is not a long search...

Thanks, Susan. I knew you'd have some wisdom on the subject!

I "discovered" the Sugoi shorts last year and they are definitely my favorite right now (which is why I now want some Sugoi knickers). The chamois is a perfect fit. So it sounds like, based on the info you provided, that I should go ahead and stick with Sugoi for now for long rides. I've tried on the Shebeest stuff many a time but it just doesn't seem to fit me quite right. And the only Terry shorts I have are in the racer skort; I do like their Ultimate chamois, but only for shorter rides.

I have some older PI Ultrasensors that I like well enough and I have worn them in at least one C, I think. But I like the Sugoi better. They just fit me nicely.
