So, before I go out and try to find the 'right' shorts for me, I thought I would ask if anyone had any basis of comparision regarding the Andiamo padded undergarments, i.e., how the padding in them compares to the 'real' biker shorts. Maybe I'm missing out, maybe I'm not. So far, for me, the Andiamos have been quite effective in preventing any chafing or sores - although I've only put in about 175 miles on my bike in the last 2 weeks, including a 50 mile ride a couple of days ago, which in the scheme of things isn't much, but if I were to be having problems I might have gotten a glimmer by now, perhaps. Or not.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've ridden with padded undergarments and shorts. I prefer shorts. Your mileage may (and apparently does!) vary. Hahahaha - bad pun
