Hi All
I am Considering getting one of those Neoprene seat covers for my saddle as I have been using Jaggad bike shorts with the removable chamois and want to know if it is comfortable with just the normal thin padding in the shorts as sometimes on a long ride the chamois can slip and cause chafing.
any feedback would help.

Ride it like you stole it.

Personally, I'd just get a nice pair of bike shorts for longer rides. IMO cushy saddles are not as comfortable as regular saddles with nice shorts. If chafing is your problem, definitely not going to get much help from using a thick seat pad like a neoprene cover.

I'd just get a nice pair of bike shorts, or some standard tri shorts, and lube up.

I would stay away from cushy saddles. They can lead to definite numbness in the boys. I would stick with bike shorts, and just get a saddle that fits you (correct sit bone width).
