Mountain Biking Chamois You Can Find

As we’ll discuss later, there is a big difference between men’s and women’s mountain bike chamois. Since bike shorts are meant to be worn without underwear, the padded liner must be customized to fit a person’s anatomy.

So, it helps for women to buy shorts that are designed specifically for them. This is tailored to fit the female form with a well-crafted 3D molded pad. The shorts also provide extra protection from the elements with thick (yet breathable) fabric.

What we liked

The material of the liner is rugged yet soft and flexible. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll appreciate how well the shorts glide against your body. Also, even though the material is relatively thick, it wicks away sweat and will dry pretty quickly.

Pros

Eight-panel design for better comfort

Anti-microbial chamois pad

Low-rise elastic waist won’t cut into your skin

Smooth leg cuffs don’t tighten as you ride

Cons

The fit can feel a bit bulky and awkward for some riders

Legs may be slightly constricting for heavier users
