[NMCycling] Chamois Advise Please

[mike]

For me, I’ve had great luck with Pearl Izumi and surprisingly Bontrager bibs. I also have some Bouré fleece knickers w/ chamois and am happy with the chamois although the knee part doesn’t fit my body well.

(full disclosure, the Trek Superstore sponsors our club).

I’m no expert, but a good bike fit person may be able to help with the chamois creep.

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.
