    Gore Oxygen shorts - chamois question

    My search for new shorts continues.

    I was able to try on some Gore Oxygen shorts in an LBS. They fit well enough and are not see-through, so that's good. However I'm concerned about the chamois -- the thick padded part is at least a half-inch wider in the crotch area than the chamois in any other shorts I've ever worn, and it's also significantly wider in the back. I'm really worried it would cause chafing at various crease points at the tops of my legs.

    Has anyone had a problem with this very wide chamois? I know the shorts get good reviews and there some folks here who really like them.

    Thanks!!!!!

    p.s. for reference, the size and shape of the Shebeest Century chamois and LG Neo Power chamois have both been comfortable for me. Thanks!!!
