>From Surly's site: *People who ride a lot sometimes like pants. Our WorkRide pants are made of medium-weight all cotton duck cloth. They’re durable, roomy and comfy. We’ve done a few things to make them riding pants instead of just pants you can ride in. First, we altered the seam structure in the crotch, moving pressure points away from where you sit. We also added an extra layer ‘down there’ to mitigate any pressure effects of the seams that remain. The knees are articulated for easy bending, and the right leg employs a two nifty snaps to keep them out of your chainring (two, so you can hem your pants to length and have a snap to spare). There is even a snap-loop U-lock keeper on the left rear pocket. Ride to wherever, do what you gotta do (work, chop wood, whatever), then ride home again.*
Many good features that Riv's model, at least that I own, does not have, but I p-p-p-personally p-p-p-prefer tight but light nylon canvas, a la Riv, though a good, tight-weave cotton is OK. And I would like a way to peg the left leg, too, since few things are more annoying while pedaling briskly than having a wide cuff catch your bottle cage and yank it out of alignment. (Leave out the U-long loop, too, while you are at it.) I'd like to know: is the crotch cut low/the waist cut high? That is a fault (IMO) of Rivendell's pants: too low a rise, meaning that when you bend over in the hooks, the backs ride uncomfortably low.
