[Closed] Why are chamois made is stupid colours (considering where they are used)?

Surrounded, what makes you think most other people "cough"? Have you been looking in other people's shorts or are you tarring everyone with your own semi-incontinent brush? 😉

Think they are a natural colour aren't they?

Personally I don't sh1t myself when I ride, and I like my ghey orange and blue MT500 pad. Long may it continue that way 😆 , sphincter control is the preserve of the young....

I suppose it depends on what you call a natural colour? my old Castelli's were red, my Assos are Orange.

All the ones I have ever owned have been a normal tan chamois colour

In 15 years of wearing cycling shorts (not all the time obviously, I'm not wearing any at the moment for example) I can safely say that not once have I left any evidence of my breakfast in them.

One up, one down and one to polish.

Oh god... this has all the makings of a classic 😆

They are a blue colour so you don't eat them.

So you can tell which ones they are when you're looking in your drawer. That's "cycling kit drawer" not "your drawers". Or other people's drawers. Obviously.

Sbz openly admitting he leaves darkys lol -.awesome

skids are for kids...... oh!!

I didnt admit anything.

Pretty sure that most people must "cough" when they're riding hard, so brown would probably be a better bet for chamois colour...

It's been scientifically proven that people north of the Watford gap have trouble wiping their bottoms properly, so maybe we need regionally specific chammies.

so you can tell which are your and which are the wifes as you're dragging them out of the clean wash basket.... it's not good wearing the wifes... need I say chafing!

Zulu, i thing you will find that most shorts these days are fitted with 'synthetic' chamois. Natural chamois tends to be the colour of leather (eg a tan colour).

Anal leakage is not healthy and something you should see you doctor about.

Decathlon's are a delicate shade of Snot Green (I did not buy!)

Does the "cough" mark look a bit white and have a slightly salty taste? 😯

I said cough not sneeze.

You wear your shorts on your head?

Clean or used for a big day out? 😉

makes no difference, they'll just end up the same way anyway.

I find they make my breathing a bit shallower when they're used.

Don't know about you but i try and avoid riding behind people like Zulu, remember this guy?

Oh, and for the record, I have an assortment of various shades of blue, snot green and gorgeous pink.

you wait till you have to borrow somebody else's shorts because you were unprepared..... i've never been so clean.

Mine are mostly tan but I also have black and blue. Just change your diet accordingly.

I like the regional commuter survey though. Perhaps we're seeiong another north/south divide here. What with northeners being exposed to more bacteria and southerners not, we'll all become rock harder than we already are and everyone in the south will die leaving the world a less red brace twangy place.

Jesus, noone else posted this yet?

When was the last time anyone used a real chamois? They're weren't great.

Come on how bored is the OP to start this thread up! This as to go down as the most ludicrous thing I have seen on here to post up. Can you not go just rattle your wife or Girl friend for something to do on a Saturday night!

There is of course a famous story about Greg Lemond pooing himself during a tour. He grabbed the hat of one of his domestiques, shoved it down the back of his shorts and filled it up before throwing it into the bushes. The riders following him after that reported an awful smell and a brown trickle down his leg for the rest of the ride.
