I LOVE my full sheepskin cover, even on my already
soft, cushy Sensation saddle.  The REAL sheepskin is
cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

 I would wear stretchy jeans but seems after a long ride I get rubbed in 
 the inseam where its sewn down the legs.  Janice-


I will wear stretch jeans in the summer or fall if I'm only going to ride for 
maybe an hour or so...and if all my riding tights are dirty!  They are WAY too 
hot to ride in during the summer though.

I can't stand to ride for very long when it's REALLY hot, like today.  When 
it's this hot, I sometimes ride in shorts or in the cheap Walmart stretch pants 
that are made out of t-shirt type material - I think they are about $12.
They don't have any knee patches of course, but I use the sheepskin seat belt 
covers over my stirrup leathers, so it doesn't really matter for shorter rides.

Dawn, I know you have been working on these tights for yourself for years,
then others started to ask you for them, and a business was born... I find
it really exciting for you... before you know it you will need 10
seamstresses and we will see you on OPRAH

I find it really exciting...

 Holy cow - I couldn't IMAGINE the ones I had being a "winter weight" or
"fall weight" material.


Most riding breeches are neither summer weight nor winter weight, and that's
where I think the Kerrit microcords would be categorized.  I believe
Kerrit's sells polar fleece breeches for winter, as well as the lighter
weight ones for summer...?  I haven't looked, since I'm pretty well stocked
for winter breeches.


 You've not tried my summer weight PowerDry material pants ;-).  THOSE
are breathable.


I noticed that the Malden Mills online store only suggests the PowerDry
material for "undergarments and for shirtings."   See:
http://www.maldenmillsstore.com/dept2.asp?dept=31&id=0709234371759512370075

I'm not prepared to subject the world to the sight of my lower half in
lingerie weight fabric...Riding tights are sufficiently revealing for me!

just wanted to add a testimonial -- i have a pair of those and they are
the lightest riding tights i have, and mine are full-seat.  i wear them
on hot days when i'm teaching especially, as that involves a lot of
running around and gets me even sweatier than actually riding.

i also sometimes ride in dance tights, which come very light, but don't
have any leg protection so i end up wearing half-chaps as well.
