CastelliChamois Dry Lube(Return to Product Page)

This chamois lube is not up to the usual standard of other Castelli products. First, the container is hard to squeeze to get the contents to come out, the lube itself is rather stiff and hard to spread, then after the ride it really left a mess on the chamois pad in the shorts. I guess if you are one of those people who wash your shorts after every ride, then this wouldn't be a problem. It did wash out cleanly, I will give it that!

Otherwise, I was not impressed. I'll stick to my old tried and true Buttonhole chamois cream.

I think this is the best chamois lube out there!! I live & ride in Hawaii, so every ride is a sweat fest exraordinaire!! Works best if you apply directly to skin I find, it will dry in the time it takes to walk from the bathroom sink to wherever you put your bibs on. Truly fantastic! I was a big Body Glide Cycle fan before I found this. Give it a try, may not be for everyone, but works really well for me. Not a fan of gooey chamois creams.

I was disappointed with this chamois cream. The advertising that it's dry and prevents friction is what enticed me, but it's just not thick enough to provide meaningful protection. I actually got a friction burn and quickly pivoted back to Chamois Butt'r.
