Fact is, even though my weight is gradually coming down, I'll always be this wide and my sit-bones aren't going to get any narrower. I'm definitely a forward, not a back in rugby terms.
So far I've owned Altura/Endura/Specialized and possibly have a slight preference for the Endura, as the Altura chamois disintegrated after about 4 months. Otherwise, they're all okayish, but I know when I've done my weekly Sunday morning 80k, even if the rest of me feels fine. I've gone up to a 155mm wide saddle to suit my 135mm sit-bones and it was a notable improvement comfort wise.
However, in looking around for a new set of bib shorts (or two) such information regarding chamois width doesn't seem so forthcoming. Anybody out there of similar dimensions found something that is notably better, or are all chamois ample enough such that it doesn't matter, with quality being a more important consideration?
Cheers,
Russell
