These shorts are a shop favorite. With substantial padding and a lot of panels to fit the contours of your leg, many customers as well as employees swear by these shorts.
We like them so much we decided to make them our team kit shorts.

Louis Garneau CB Carbon
I've always been impressed with LG's adventurous fabrics. The CB Carbon is a perfect example of how their fabric conscious design adds comfort in the end.
The chamois is also very substantial and still very accommodating without the pillow-top feel the Sugoi RS gives.
LG often fits taller people better due to their elongated elastic around the thigh.

This short is often added to the fitting room mix simply because I say "really, try them on." which the customer always exits the fitting room and replies "I see what you mean!"

Gore Oxygen
Gore created an uncannily comfortable short with the Oxygen. They had an "ah-ha" moment when they realized that using a more malleable softer material for the front of the shorts, where everybody's abdomen folds forward, would make everything much more comfortable.
Their chamois is slightly thinner than the Louis Garneau padding but just as resilient for substantial distances.
This is a great short for anybody who resents the stereotype that all cycling clothing is made for small skinny people. Beer gut or six pack, it's comfortable.

Do as much research on shorts as comforts you, but no amount of reading will substitute getting into the shop and spending some quality time in the fitting room. Quiz the employee helping you about each short, why it's that price, and what they think of it.
If you find some comfortable shorts and there is still pain, the problem may be more than just a padding issue. You may want to talk to your local fitter about how the bike is talking to your anatomy. But that is a different topic for a different post.
