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
