Okay, so like I said before, I don't normally wear "cycling shorts." I have a few of the latter, but they are (at best) no better than khaki trousers over cotton briefs, and sometimes they are just uncomfortable. It feels like I'm sitting on this big chunk of foam, and I really hate that. I presume the cycling shorts I have are just cheap junk.
So I look on Nashbar and the like, to see what's available, and the wording describing the 'chamois' tells me nothing at all. For example:
Pro Max chamois with CoolMax layer is pre-shaped for an anatomic fit and uses multi-thickness foam with 2-way stretch to maximize comfort.
What's this multi-thickness foam thing? I am pretty sure I don't want that. Or:
G2 chamois offers killer comfort at an unbeatable price.
Killer comfort? Is this supposed to be informative?
So, my question for those of you who insist on real cycling shorts for all riding over ten miles or something, how do you pick what to buy? And how am I supposed to tell, from the description, how much padding there is? 'Cuz I don't want any padding.
