    Thumbs down Gore Bike Wear Oxygen knickers

    I scooped a pair of Gore Bike Wear Oxygen knickers on sale. I had huge hopes for them. Today was ride #2 (44 iles) and I will proclaim these knickers are evil instruments of torture. According to the size chart, I should be a small. The chamois area seems to be too big, and the chamois moves about and one could think it was made of cardboard. It's been two hours since my ride and I am still in pain. I feel like shredding them.

    The two attached pictures, taken after the ride, show how stiff the chamois is. First, from the side -- you can see the chamois sticking out. And from the back -- when you get up from the saddle, they fold and give you a "wedgie". Argh. I'm so mad.

    The one positive thing I can say about them is that the windstopper fabric is very nice on the knees. I liked the length, too. I have another pair that is a bit too short and they ride up.
