Product Information

While chamois cloth is a new material to most Americans, Chamois is an old material that has been used worldwide for centuries. Chamois was also known as “sha-mee,” and it was the traditional cleaning rag of European motorcyclists before modern cleaning materials were developed. Chamois is a strong and highly durable fabric, so it’s no wonder that hunters and construction workers love this material. You don’t have to worry about rough treatments or wear and tear because this material can withstand pretty much anything. Chamois processing doesn’t require any harsh chemicals, so you can rest assured knowing that it’s one of the best materials for sensitive skin.

Chamois can reach an age of 22 years in captivity, although the average recorded age in the wild ranges from 15 to 17 years. Common causes of mortality can include avalanches, epidemics and predation. At present, humans are the main predator of chamois. In the past, the principal predators were Eurasian lynxes, Persian leopards and gray wolves; with some predation possibly by brown bears and golden eagles. [7] Chamois usually use speed and stealthy evasion to escape predators and can run at 50km/h (31mph) and can jump 2m (6ft 7in) vertically into the air or over a distance of 6m (20ft). [8] Distribution and habitat [ edit ] Chamois on the Piz Beverin mountain, Switzerland Chamois in the Retezat MountainsChamois leather is often counterfeited with goat or pig skin, the practice of which is a particular profession called by the French chamoiser. [4] History [ edit ] When you wash your chamois leather, make sure to use natural soap. Many people even use car wash shampoo, which would also work. You should hand wash the leather in warm water and rinse the leather thoroughly afterward so that there is no soap residue. Make sure to never use bleach or detergents to wash your chamois leather. It will strip away the leather’s natural oil, which means your chamois won’t feel as plush or soft after washing. New Zealand chamois tend to weigh about 20% less than European individuals of the same age, suggesting that food supplies may be limited. [12] Hunting and wildlife management [ edit ] Chamois cream is there to reduce the friction between you and your cycling shorts, specifically the 'chamois pad', which is the foam insert sewn into them that provides padding while you ride. Even if you have the optimum combination of saddle and shorts there's still going to be movement in the system, and so lubricating the interface helps reduce the possibility of any saddle sores. Some are creamy, some are more of a greasy paste, but they all do the same job. It's just a case of finding which one works for you. Is chamois cream better than Vaseline?

fit/ergonomic fit is a feature that crops up a lot, but what does it actually mean? Well, quite simply, it’s where the chamois is designed around the contours of the human body, rather than a flat profile. It improves the way the Chamois fits around your body and improves the comfort level. The chamois ( Rupicapra rupicapra) or Alpine chamois is a species of goat-antelope native to mountains in Europe (mostly in Southern Europe or around the Mediterranean region), from west to east, including the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Apennines, the Dinarides, the Tatra and the Carpathian Mountains, the Balkan Mountains, the Rila– Rhodope massif, Pindus, the northeastern mountains of Turkey, and the Caucasus. [2] The chamois has also been introduced to the South Island of New Zealand. Some subspecies of chamois are strictly protected in the EU under the European Habitats Directive.

In the winter months, flannel is a preferred material for pajamas and sheets. Cotton flannel is super soft and highly breathable, so you won’t have any problems surrounding yourself with flannel for 8+ hours when you lay in bed. These shorts typically are more loose than bib shorts but still not baggy. This is because they are focused more on protecting the rider during falls and are not as focused on aerodynamic efficiency. The position of the padding is a little different because mountain bikers have a more upright body position when riding. These shorts are different from baggy shorts as they are used by hardcore cyclists who still need the protection with a good padding, which the baggy shorts do not have. a b Chambers, Ephraim, ed.
