33: Battling Saddle Sores with Don Powell

So many of my clients have questions and run into issues about saddle sores, and man, when you get a bad one, it can be really bad. I have actually had a couple of clients that suffered so severely, they had to have surgery.  When you sit on a saddle, that's a lot of weight on a very small surface area. There's the weight of the torso, the weight of the helmet, the weight of the upper body, the arms -- it's all focused into this relatively small point. Then we add friction generated by the movement of the legs. With so many moving parts there is so much that can go wrong which can lead to undercarriage issues for the rider. Today, I've also got a special guest that we'll get to in the second part of the podcast. Don Powell is the creator and owner of Panache Cyclewear. He's been designing and creating his own cycling gear there for 12 years. We'll hear a bit from Don about the construction of chamois and fabrics and technical details in the second part.
