Does anyone know of any GOOD knickers with a chamois that can do a century? I own a pair of Sheila Moon's, but the chamois does not offer enough padding for the real long rides. I love my PI microcensor shorts - great chamois, and hate knee warmers (too much elastic). Any recommendations appreciated.

PI Sugar Knickers have a light chamois, nothing like the microsensor shorts, though. Wouldn't want to wear them while riding a century. The Sheila Moon knee warmers don't have elastic, if you want to give them a try.

Hey Luv, I don't have the Shebeest knicker that they sell here on TE (I think it's the Pedal Pusher), but I do own a pair of the shorts with the same chamois. I think it would be substantial enough for a century. If you can find any Shebeest bottoms with the SheLastic Chamois, that's the same one that's in the Pedal Pusher. Love that chamois.

If you love your PI shorts, I suspect that you won't be happy with the Shebeest knickers. Just my own experience - I wear PI ultrasensors, tried several of the Shebeest shorts and just couldn't wear them. On in between days I add PI knee warmers and don't really notice any extra elastic.
Hope you find the right answer for you!

I just got a pair of the Ground Effects Witches Britches (they were the subject of another thread here with all the links and everything). I love them. Just tested them out on an 80 miler, and I am sure they would be great for a century.
The knees truly are warm! These are great knickers.

OK, when I get a real job, I'm getting me some of those Witches Britches.
I've been following this thread because I too am a knicker fan and am looking for the perfect pair. The Shebeest stuff doesn't seem to fit me well. The Sugar Knicker's chamois is not enough for a century. And I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate leg and knee warmers, elastic or no. I really like the chamois that is in the Sugoi Evolution short, and apparently they make a hard-to-find knicker that I may track down if I don't go for the Witches Britches.
Oh, BTW Maillotpois, what was the total USD damage?Last edited by yellow; 02-04-2006 at 03:39 PM.
