I just picked up a pair of PI tri shorts, and they have the best synthetic chamois I've seen.
A big pet peeve are these idiotic mfgrs that insist on putting foam padding under the chamois. It has absolutely no benefit. Think about it. Each sit bone can have up to 50% of your body weight on it. A silly piece of foam that can be easily pinched flat between your thumb and forefinger will *always* be mashed flat under your sit bones.
What that stupid foam *does* do is push the chamois up against your soft parts, causing chafing, *and* it holds moisture.
