Always used Mt500 Endura lycra shorts , had about 6 pairs over last 20 years. They still use shorts with that name but the ones available I have seen in shops are half the thickness and Chamois padding is the same pretty thin . I looked at the undershorts liner with same name but no mention of the padded arse bit. Shops I have tried have not been much help. I wonder how good the ones in pic are , the Chamois is not mentioned . Can't be bothered faffing about ordering stuff to send back . Thing is shops don't seem interested, I remember when I could go to a shop and order something now they don't offer that option.

if the spec of the chamois is not quoted it is not worth having!! I bought the bib liner which has their 550 series chamois. No armour on that but I use slip in pads by G-Form when armour for hip joint is needed. Probably my shape but I always find armoured short with a chamois tend to slip down when riding and end up like a loose toddlers nappy.:D The bib makes for one less article of clothing relying on a waistband to stay in place. Not cheap at c £70 but at least what you are paying for mostly is the chamois. Higher grades ( e.g 600) are even more expensive and like the bib liner have no armour.
