For all cycling enthusiasts. Today our topic is whether the thicker chamois in cycling shorts is better, or not? The answer is definitely โnotโ. Many cycling shorts are advertising their Chamois are with 3D or 4D or even up to 7 layers on Amazon. It looks like more padded chamois might be better. But itโs not true as we can also find many chamois from the higher-end cycling shorts are usually not very thick, some might be just two layer (2D) or 3 layers (3D) padded. There must be a reason for these less padded chamois to be more expsensive, so we can make a conclusion that the thicker chamois is not always better.
Except for the thickness, the density and material are also crucial points when we pick the Chamois on the cycling shorts. Silicone and memory foam are two main materials to make padding. The silicone padding is soft and have enough density to support the bones so can help reduce the saddle sour when you are riding. But normally we donโt use it on the cycling shorts because the silicone got its biggest disadvantage of not breathable enough and heat up very easily. In addition, the density of the materiel is very important. If the chamois is claimed to be very thick, and multiple layers, but its density is not enough, your bones will easily sink into the thick and soft chamois, which will tend to cause bruising to the tissue around your sit bones. The memory foam SOUKE use is breathe enough to make your ride comfortably while has a density over 90kg/m3, which will support your 100km ride without any problem.
