Chamois cream is one of those things, as a cyclist, you either do, or you don't. If you do, this Morgan Blue Soft Chamois Cream is an excellent choice and the large tub lasts for simply ages.

That said, the cream has a low viscosity which means it a little tricky to apply. It's best suited for those who prefer to lather the padded insert of their shorts, rather than applying it directly to the skin. Trying to do that can easily result in spillage.

Once you've got your shorts on though, the cream does what it sets out to do, prevent saddle sores and general chafing from hours in the saddle. It does seem to last longer than other creams I've tested in the past, and doesn't seem to get washed away quite so quickly like some.

The cream contains Saint John's Wort oil, olive oil, sunflower oil and rosemary oil with natural vitamin E and herbal extract. Morgan Blue claims it prevents saddle sores, chafing wounds and skin irritation, and my testing certainly seems to back this up. I'm not a particular fan of chamois cream, but when riding big miles on consecutive days it does boost comfort enough to make it worth using, and this chamois cream has constantly impressed.

Verdict

Slightly tricky to apply but works well once it's in place and lasts well.
