Ischial Tuberosities - Pain

[OakLeaf]

jj, I wonder if your shorts are just too big for you? I've never had a pair of shorts where the chamois placement changed depending on how I was sitting.

IAE you didn't say what brand and model of shorts you have now, for comparison.

Also, since the pain started mid-season, is it possible your shorts are just worn out? (either the chamois, or the outer fabric, that could make them fit too loosely?)

I have two pairs of sugoi shorts, the evolution short, and the equivalent to the rs, and a pearl izumi pro shorts, all of which don't have the main bulk of padding in the correct place for me. I tried about 5 new pairs on in the store, and none of those seemed to have the padding in the right place either. Maybe I do need to try smaller sizes, but the remainder of the short fits great.
Also in the grand scheme of things, maybe I am wearing through things with more miles on my gear, how long do people find their shorts last?
