For me getting a narrower saddle made a huge difference on extended climbs. Never used a chamois for mountain biking but now that I’ve gotten one for road biking I may consider it on rare 1-2 hour dirt road climbs on some of the trails in the southwest. Did a 4K dirt road climb the other day and I did feel ok but a little more padding may have made the drive home more pleasant.
