You know, I am pretty skinny, too, at 5'10" and 147#. The Descentes fit me best, though I also have a pair of Pearls, a Nalini, and a Canyon short. Overall, not much difference in the chamois size that I have noticed. The '06 Descente line is introducing a new chamios (Strata?). It is probably just marketing hype, but maybe the chamois is a different size. The pair I just orgered is a small (from M), so I should have an idea of how they scale down.
