I have ridden for many years and never have had this issue. At first I thought it was jock itch, but then I realized it only happened when I wore these particular items. I slathered on some Body Glide, but that didn't completely eliminate the problem. Are these items just destined for the trash? Any other suggestions? I like them for the most part.
You really get what you pay for. When I made the move to bibs I went from 90 dollar shorts , which chaffed , to 200 dollar Giordana, which are shear heaven.
