Wondering if anyone has tried these http://www.cassellmarine.com.au/p/337429/sailing-shorts---newport---burke.html and what do you think of them to ward off a numb and sore bumb while sitting in one position on long races

Any thoughts would be appreciated

I have tried a few different padded shorts including these ones. They tend to be fine while sitting but are fairly stiff when moving around, to the point that these ones rubbes the skin off the back of my knees!

I now use Musto Evo sailing shorts with the option of Zhik Deckbeater shorts underneath depending on what I'm sailing. Neither of these are the cheapest option but the Musto shorts will outlast everything else you buy by years!!!

Thanks for the feedback

I went to Whitworths to buy the shorts but came away with these instead www.ronstan.com.au/marine5/error.asp?admin=&fail=yes because i decided i they might be a bit more suited to southern Tassie

Wet suit shorts from the op shop. Sew the arms off an old wet suit up the back of the legs and bum with homeward bounders. Wear a pair of beach shorts from the op shop with a set of braces over the top.
