I got dhb one from wiggle...they were the WORST pair of shorts Ive ever had, the chamoix actually moves and rubs and they have rough seams, I got them for a tour I was doing as didnt want to 'rough it' with my regular shorts, anyway, had enough of them, got a pair of assos straightaway, and heaven for the rest of that tour and since would not try another brand now, they are like a glove. Go for them again, since you've had them already, you will know what your actually missing raher than never having them and wondering

The Santini twistgel shorts are ALMOST as good as Assos, Prendas Cyclismo and Geoff butler have good prices and service but you pay for postage.

Shorts are a personal thing; what works for one person doesn't for another. I don't have dhb shorts but I have several pairs of their cheap "Earnley" 3/4 length tights and I find them very comfortable and excellent for the price.

My good shorts are Descente Optima and I have a fair amount of other Descente stuff which fits me very well. I tried Castelli and Briko; very good quality but found the fit was off for me.

I have some Cannondale stuff that isn't very good frankly. And Adidas tights which are very comfortable. And some old Nalini Pro shorts which I find a bit odd particularly from the chamois point of view.

Don't know if this is any use as it is as I say personal. But I'd say at the price the dhb are worth a punt. Their higher-end shorts get some very good reviews, compared to the higher-end stuff from the big brands... again some people just don't get on with them though.

I got a pair of these dhb shorts a while back and have found them very comfortable and the padding is very good in them! I see there is 25% off them on wiggle at the moment so might get myself another pair of them!

Dunno if they are still around but if any cheap shorts have the same chamois:

I found them incredible compared to anything I've had.

but as said before it's a personal choice, my personal choice for chamois would be these but you can only go on what you've tried before.

I bought a pair of Giordana Silverline shorts for 55.00. I find them better than a pair of Castelli I had for twice the price.
