shorts with wide chamois?

[Frank Riley]

Are there any brands of cycling shorts with the chamois extra wide in the
sit bone area? I have a Brooks B-17, and I sit right on the seam of every
short I've tried, which causes bad chafing. Am I stuck trying women's
shorts?

Wide chamois = wide ass??

I ride B-17's and have a broad butt (5" sitbone spacing).

The B-17's are a little narrow - could be 3/4" wider, but the Performance Elite
shorts I've been using are a-ok for me.

I use B-17 saddles and find that Assos Campionesimo (sp?) shorts work great.
Trouble it that it is no longer made. I may try some new Assos, or perhaps
Garneau which are excellent and way less expensive. The Garneau has one
piece chamois. I find that I have trouble with most of the terry cloth
chamois I have used.

Blackbottoms. Well made, very wide chamois with very little padding; perfect
for wider Brooks saddles.
