    So close!

    I really wanted to love these. Two things: 1) The padding in the chamois is perfect. It’s focused under the sit bones and does not put pressure on your sensitive lady bite, BUT the chamois seam is stitched directly at the edge of all my female-specific Ergon and Specialized saddles. Would be perfect if the “wings” extended further out. 2) I bought according to my measurements and the size chart, and they’re huge.

    Silicone dots?

    Mostly fabulous but they come with tiny dots of something to try to keep the thighs down which are scratchy and now they have all come off on their own so the bottom of the thigh creep up and I have to constantly pull them down. Maybe you can add a more substantial silicone dots or something?? I will wait to buy another pair until you do. The dimensions are wonderful.

    okay, but not for touring

    I loved the idea of minimalistic chamois for bike touring, as I usually don’t wear them in normal life. Within a few rides they started rolling up my legs becoming booty shorts, they stretched out, and the padding stopped where my saddle stops and caused major skin irritation. I’m an XL lady (5’10” and 180lbs) and they just didn’t work for me. I could image them being okay for a smaller gal doing short rides. Aside from the riding fit not being good, they are amazingly comfortable to wear when off the bike.

    Size up for sure.

    I almost ordered M and glad I didn't. L is pretty snug on me. I'm 170 lbs more or less, and 5'3". The waistband did stretch out a bit after wearing/washing it a couple times and got less tight in the midsection. The thighs do move up a little bit shorter when you ride, but that doesn't bother me. I ride a 155 mm saddle. The padding is PERFECTION. I've never had shorts this comfortable before. I'll probably wear these to death.

    Not for thicc thighs

    The fabric, great. The high waistband, great. The chamois, v great. The general fit, also great. But they curl and ride up after 15 min of riding. Colossal sad face.
    For reference: I'm 5'6" and 160 lbs. Hip is 41.5, which should be a M per the size chart, but I sized up to a L informed by a previous sundog pant purchase from CC (sundogs are the best, btw. I wear them aaallll the time). My thigh where the shorts hit on my dominant leg is 25.5". The waistband and bum fit is great, the shorts don't ride or roll while standing, but once the pedals start turning, they def go for a northerly hike. I've had similar problems with other shorts, and it seems like the only way to fix it for me is a longer inseam. Whomp-whomp.

    ***Pssst. Hey, CC... if you can get your hands on the old MFF pattern, I'll buy all the chamois from you. All of them.

    Amazing

    These are bar none the bast chamois in my fleet of bike shorts - the ones I want to teach for each time and loathe when I have to wear my other pairs. I’m going to slowly replace everything with these - so comfortable and thin/ I have muscular legs and these don’t ride up or bother me - I don’t even mind putting these on and driving an hour wearing them - seriously do yourself a favor and buy! I’m 5,5 140 and love the fit on the large. Could likely size down for a more snug fit if that’s your preference but these are great for me in the large.

    muscular thighs make it ride up

    The waist and chamois is perfect! I have pretty muscular thighs so it does ride up. I think the design is almost perfect… I’m assuming most of us mtn bikers are thick thighed right?? Maybe being 2 or 3 inches longer might help this problem? Trying to upload a couple pictures but it isn't working

    Great riding shorts

    Very comfortable chamois. Hardly know it’s there and it does its job! Also great waistband that doesn’t roll over on itself and is comfortable w/o being constricting. My only nit is that the leg hems have a tendence to ride up after riding a fair distance. I’m a sewer, so I might seek out a strip of silicone that I can apply to the hemline. That aside, these are the best chamois pants I’ve tried thus far in my cycling “career."

    Great fabric, great fit. They don’t dig into my thighs and the chamois is substantial enough without feeling bulky. Love ‘em!

    Finally the perfect liners!

    Love these! My other 2 chamois ride up and are such a pain and uncomfortable. These are like butter so comfy and high waisted which I love. Did a 17 mile ride today with them no ride up in the legs. I did size up to an XL for a size 12 which is perfect for me.

    LOVE

    If you’re a thick thigh girlie and have difficulty finding shorts that don’t ride up, these are IT! Now I can focus on having fun riding and not pulling my shorts out of my ‘zones’. Love the full padded seat and the buttery feel of the material. Overall, these are a 10/10!!

    Best Chamois Ever!

    I love these so much! They fit perfectly, they don't move on my quads, I feel comfy (as comfy as you can) on my bike seat while also not feeling like I'm wearing a diaper. An absolute win!

    So comfy!

    I've gone on a few rides wearing this chamois - so comfortable! Very glad I made this purchase. The medium fits great (I'm 5'7", about 140 lbs).

    Finally, good sit bone coverage!

    I LOVE these shorts! I have trouble finding chamois that actually cover my sit bones. These do the job, and are super comfortable! Definitely my go-to pair. Can’t wait to order more in other colors!

    Almost Perfect

    The Vulvarine is super comfortable, lightweight, and great for outdoor & indoor riding. Would be perfect with more compression/thicker fabric (not everyone waxes!) and a pinch free 360° waistband.

    Love the Sun Dog!

    The Sun Dog shorts combined with the V-Chamois is a perfect combination for trail riding. The Chamois is a perfect fit in all the right places. The Short is breathable, with roomy pockets that don’t get in the way, no matter how much stuff you stuff in them. When riding, I find myself looking down at the shorts way too often, but they make me look and feel too good!

    The best chamois I've owned. Just the right of padding, the seams are in the right places, it's breathable but not see thru. Would def recommend

    Frick Right!

    These chamois are the bees knees! I purchased these a few weeks ago before heading to Thailand to bike 200mi in Lanna Kingdom. In the past I’ve struck out on finding a comfortable chammy that also fits appropriately but I knew I’d need to find something for this trip. All I can say is that I’m sooo glad I decided to pull the trigger on these bad boys. The other pair I own is from Wild Rye, and they are comfortable, it no where near as much as these! Started off the trip riding in the Vulvarines and definitely did not want to switch to my other pair but hot, long days in the saddle kind of forces your hand. 11/10 would recommend.

    The Only Chamois That Work!

    For the last decade, I have been on the search for chamois that work.. that don't chafe, are comfy and breathable ...and for 12 years I haven't had any luck - until now. These chamois are a game changer - lightweight, perfect amount of padding, breathable, NO CHAFING. I will never ride in anything else. I recommend you make the same decision.

    From a person who hates chamois...

    I'm not one to ride with chamois unless it's early season or a super long ride, but these are so simple, sleek, and comfortable that they don't bother me a bit. If I'm gonna wear a chamois, this is the only one from now on!

    Simple Perfection

    These are exactly what I want. They are so simple which makes them so perfect. The leg stays put and never squeezes my thighs. The pad is just enough but not too much. They are my go to in a drawer full of chamois.
