I started wearing them when patrolling, but they are so comfortable I wear them for regular trail riding. Not cheap but worth the price IMHO. They last forever. Those look very cool. So lycra shorts underneath those or do they have a chamois? I think the key is the flexibility so they are non-binding. That's what I'm looking for. They are fantastic! You pay an extra $7 and they sew the Chamois in. I have not chaffed yet. They are loose and very breathable. No sweating at all and good A/C for the jewels. Plus they have pockets and belt loops if you need them. They look real cool too. And if you have a NMBP jersey tucked in you look all official and stuff. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-owww.schnauzers.ws Stop posting I did not give you permission. |

Matt,
When was the last time you used an airconditioner in Gunni? Too HOT.....your crazy. Sorry. I had to laugh, and take the time to give you crap about living in one of the coldest places on earth (except this winter of course). TJ -- No Signature. Read on. "MattB" wrote in message ...

I used to be able to get away with that, but no more. Is there a decent baggy w/ liner that's suitable for long periods in the saddle w/o bunching? I have a couple of pairs of Oakleys that work well. Two different models, one longer than the other. The only problem is on really hot days they are too warm even with the vents open. On those days I try and ride lycra instead. A bonus is pockets for stuff I like to have handy without having to take off my pack. Matt |

It's in an old attic space on Main and it gets pretty warm. At least for a few weeks a year. Never had AC in a house here though. Definitely not necessary but the rocks can get hot on a sunny day. I go to GJ to ride sometimes too! THAT's hot! Matt (almost felt like summer this morning at 28!) |

OK, shorts or one piece short & top, I use Sugoi or I just got some
higher end MEC ones last fall and they fit well and breathed too. I used to be a roadie so always was more comfortable in lycra anyways, even if I did look different at the time. But now many do wear the lycra now on the trails choosing comfort over looks. I wear black usually anyways, so it's all good. MTB Girl |

I now have a pair of lycra shorts. The old way, I would catch on branches, and even my seat. Get a bag, or 2 for your crap in your pockets, get a jersey with pockets in the back for other stuff..

I mean, look at this Goomba with lycra on: http://geeman.freeshell.org/pix/EnduroAndGee.jpg :-) You're right tho, it's a real trick finding the right fit with a baggy. I roll w/ a Camelback Blowfish so I got plenty of storage, don't like stuff in my pockets anyway...cept maybe a gel pack. G |

What the hell do you mean "proper cycling shorts"? Proper for what? Do you ever crash? Do your "proper cycling shorts" survive a crash without getting holes in them? Do those nasty grabby branches ever tear holes in you "proper cycling shorts"? Or are you just some barney who plods along doubletracks and thinks that's what it's all about? Of course Greg will not listen to this doof's lame "arguments". I know more than a few mountain bikers who ride baggy shorts because they are tougher than "proper cycling shorts". JD |

They have the Chamois in it. As far as spills and other bike crashes, I usually avoid them, I have scatched myself up badly sometimes. I have never torn my shorts, I have many rips and holes in other clothes that have been worn trail riding. Personally I hate double track, its not what mountain biking is about. Mind you, I do think that some trail builders go a little overboard for some trails. Does this clear up the mud? Micheal |

Micheal Well, the baggys I wear have a chamois all built right up there inside them legs. Them new fangled things just might rate up thar with "proper" shorts and all but what the hell. I don't think they use them chamois thangs for lawn mower ridin but I cud be wrong. I'm just a snake killing mountainbiker, until I get off the bike but then that's a whole 'nuther story. Marty |

See, sometimes, when they see or feel me coming, they slither off the trail. Since I don't want to ride off-trail, that means I have to get off the bike if I'm gonna kill them. Wait, wouldn't that make me a snake-killing *hiker*? E.P. |
