    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.
