Hi All,

It's come to my attention that there might be an issue with the newest version of the Rutgers shorts (with the orange/black chamois) where the pad can come unglued from the chamois.

I found this out because my shorts from my summer team did just that.

There's a simple solution: DO NOT PUT YOUR SHORTS IN THE DRYER. One whirl around in the dryer after a torrential downpour during the Owasco Stage race was enough to damage the chamois.

The Apollo chamois (that's the orange one) cannot be machine dried. Let your shorts air dry on a hanger. You roommates might look at you weird, but hey, you shave your legs already.

If you have a chamois that has come unglued and you'd like it replaced, Verge will replace it with the ESP chamois (it's not as plush though). The catch is, they need to have the shorts by mid-week next week. I'm going to send out a bunch of shorts on Saturday morning. If you have a pair that needs a new chamois, get it to me before then.

I'm sorry to have short malfunctions with our gear. This was news to Verge as well.
