Last time I wore tighty cycling shorts with chamois was in the 1970s, when real men and women wore real Merino wool and real chamois leather -- because that was really all we had available. I hadn't planned on going that route again since I'm now riding a comfy hybrid with padded saddle. But I changed my mind after the recent bout of warm and very humid weather brought along some not-so-comfy heat rash in the perineum -- 't'ain't pleasant. So I got some Baleaf padded undershorts to go with my various baggy outer shorts.

The padding looks... different... from what I remember years ago.
