Zoom: Can you do a full review on TE of your tights?

I am going to run, not walk on over and get me some Gore! I am so tired of having sore girly bits!!

You mean in the store? Unfortunately the ones I picked-up weren't a style that TE carries.

I had read this review prior to ordering them and I really strongly agree with it. The chamois felt very stiff and diaperish at first. But after wearing and washing again it's already noticeably looser.

I didn't find them to be as long as I might have liked...mine definitely don't come to mid-calf. Mine only came just below the knee--and I do NOT have a long inseam (I think it's about 28" from crotch to ankle). But they were just perfect for a windy ride in the low-50s. If it had been a little colder I may have used knee-high merino wool socks for a bit of extra warmth.

IG, I did remember that TE carries a short version of the tights I have. If I end up not liking the Oxygen shorts I'd probably pick up a pair of the Power shorts...they're cheaper, anyhow.

I have the Oxygen short and the Zippity Doo bib short and pretty much love the chamois in both once I am on the bike. As I mentioned, it's a little big for me, but it doesn't bunch up or anything so it's bearable. Feels a little couch-like, but not really in a bad way. I LOVE the density and fabric though - particularly for long rides.

I've not tried the chamois in the power shorts.

I will mention that the other issue I have with Gore shorts is the length. They are quite long so the leg band (which is not sausage-y and stays put) often gets me behind the knee. I have freakishly short legs though, so YMMV. I really should invest in some Gore bike tights - that would solve the 'too long' problem!

Yeah, the 9" inseam is an inch or two longer than what I like...if I had long legs I think 9" would be perfect, but they are likely going to nearly come down to my knees. I can deal with that if it means not having angry hoo-ha, though.

Absolutely!
