Sponge-like is bad. I'm glad to hear about this chamois, since I'd been sort of thinking about the new Terry Bellas, because the styling looked cool and they had pink overlock seams.

Too bad you can't afford the RS Flexes- there is nothing sponge-like about them, and the welded seams can't be felt. Maybe some day. But then they will change them, anyway.

The only thing keeping me from buying another pair is a vague longing to see if the Wicked Expensive Loius Garneaus are worth it- but they were fortunately out of my size last time, so I ended up with my beloved Sugoi RS Flexes (as recommended by Susan!!) instead.
