[smitty141]

Has anyone tryed this brand of under/ware??? Look very nice, butt @ $45.bucks a little expensive. If it helps your butt on a long day it would be worth it..

LD shorts

i've got a pair and they seem to work well, I got them just before I left and I wore them to & from WFO.

I use bicycle shorts with built in gel pads from Sports Authority ($29.95) Sounds like the same thing.

Smitty,

I know for a fact that these shorts are used by some very experienced Iron Butt riders. Word.

If you will check www.nashbar (bike nashbar) they have bicycle shorts on sale for $15.99.

In my experience with bicycle shorts is you get what you pay for. Motorcycle riding is not as hard on a short as bicycle riding (done both) and I get by fine with the light weight less expensive "store" brand. I've had the more expensive short, and they were worth it. But the $20-$30 ones were fine for a while.

Bike Nashbar has been a great company-- I haven't bought from them for a couple of years. B)

I have several pair from dirt riding. I find the problem with them is there padded. I have tryed them, and didn't care for them. The padding was on the thick side....

These are great riding shorts. Have used them for about threee years. I even have a pair of full length pants from LD comfort. I even like these better because it doesn't expose the legs on mesh riding pants to the hot air and heat>. Plus great for early morning and late night riding without need for adding or chnging clothing.

The LD ones aren't padded.

Who's pants have you been exploring? And does your significant other know about them?

Under Armour... Ride 700 miles then hop off and jog another 3...

I have a pair of the LD shorts and like them. My only complaint is they are a little "thick" as in the weight of the material. Prefer Under Armor or similar due to the smooth material that slides under jeans. The LD's are a little spendy, but the quality seems to support the cost. Good luck.

Smitty, I've used the LD shorts for a couple of years now and really like them. They don't wad up or hold dampness like cotton briefs :huh: and are very comfortable on long rides. Plus another thing I like is the Kangaroo door! :yahoo: one less zipper to deal with when sprinting for the head.

I can't believe I'm talking about my under wear! yeeesh! :glare:

OK! You talked me into it. Just ordered a pair. I have been looking for these but could only find the bicycle ones. Man, hanging out here has been costing me a fortune. But it sure is fun on the way to the poor house.

I tried the Under Armour yesterday. I rode 620 miles to and from Deal's in 100+ heat. The UA compression briefs were great compared to cotton. I also went with a UA loose fit shirt under my Joe Rocket Phoenix. It dried very quickly and I was quite comfortable. UA makes a specific line called Heat Gear. They also have a line called Cold Gear that I have used on duty. I picked them up at Academy Sports. Any sporting goods store will have them.

+1 on the UA.

A little pricey, but worth it.
