AG: Engine insulation
When wool tights went out of fashion, I had to make do with sweat pants. Sweat pants are too long as purchased. I have learned the hard way that it's a bad idea to shorten anything before it's been washed, and I didn't want to wash them until after they had gotten dirty. Well, pants that are pinned close around the ankles aren't going to draggle or get tripped over, and I can push the excess up above my knees and put garters just below the knees. When pants are short enough to walk in, pinning leaves a gap that I usually cover with gaiters; too-long pants can be brought right down to the tops of my shoes. And that doesn't leave all that much to be held up; if I'm not wearing multiple layers, I can dispense with the garters. So now all my winter cycling pants are too long to walk in. -- joy beeson at comcast dot net http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange The above message is a Usenet post.
