The biggest problem I have with this floppy pantleg or loose, open shirt approach is the occasional bee that gets filtered in while riding here in the NE. That's an experience you don't forget and one that doesn't happen with those real bike clothes (tighter openings). Yes, I have to pull over and remove my helmet once in awhile also but I've only been stung under loose shirts and shorts. I still wear both types of clothing depending on what type of riding I'm doing on a given day. om> wrote:

Saddle soreness is never an issue. I never would have believed this possible back in my bike shop days, when I recommended padded shorts for any kind of "serous" riding... What a bunch of hooey! I think the key is to go big and loose both on the shorts and boxers in order to stay cool and comfy. I've got a size 36 waist but ride with some big-ass boxers (size 40!) and size XL MUSA's. My kids make jokes when I'm folding laundry (serious tent-size proportions), but what price comfort? Probably shared more detail than y'all wanted to hear ;-) -br On Jun 24, 3:55 am, GeorgeS <chobur...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK. I'll give the wool one's a try.
