[NMCycling] Chamois Advise Please

[David Rutledge]

I know Voler (vo-LAY) is a USA brand without the sexy status (though it sounds French oolala).

https://www.voler.com/

a bunch of options in cut, chamois, and styles (external pockets for gravelling etc.). Seriously, check them out.

I would recommend DeSoto as another brand. Good product and not cheap but not high prices either. Nice flat seams.

Hi Benjamin,

I have always been comfortable in the mid-range Giordana bibs. For me, the chamois is the best by far.

Hey Folks.

I'm having a helluva hard time trying to find new bibs.  Either they don't fit, are cheap, too expensive (out of principal) or they are rubbing to the left side of my buttox and are chafing my left hamstring.  Here is my breakdown thus far.

Castelli: made for children.  Even in my best race form at 139lbs, I don't think I could fit in them--they are so small and the quality seems overrated.

Pear:  Even the better ones seem cheap.

Hincapie: The grippers go below my knee.

Louis Garneau: These were def the best quality for the price but the chamois really pulled to my left side and chafed my leg.

Craft: Same thing as Garneau--they are pulling to the left side.

Assos and Rapha are out of the question on principle alone--way too expensive.

Anyway, given that I haven't had new bibs in a long time and both Craft and Garneau are offending my left leg, I am assuming that my body geometry has changed.  I suppose what I am wondering is, has anyone else dealt with this and found a remedy and/or is there another brand that I am not thinking of that is reasonably priced and is made with some quality.

Thanks, I appreciate it,
Ben
