Re: [RC] [RC] coolmax tights - Laurie Durgin
Thanks , have it. I found 2pr. coolmaxtights today. cheap. I am goin to
monkey with one pair, adding patches for grip and taking them in a bit at
lower leg.The other I will leave alone.See how they work.It' the patch thing
now. I usually use leather, but it's hard to keep supple. I'd like to find
something like clarino patches. But don't know what it is. A fake leather?
Ultra suede is a bit pricy at 40.00 a yard, and I'm not sure it's tough
enough.I do need the grip with Rascal though.
Laurie and Rascal(Yes, we rode today at 78% and 94% humidity)But there was a
breeze and a bath for that matter. Rascal who behaved like a plug ,
becasue dad came aong on ol' Savannah. Ol' Savannah, sho stands in water and
paws high enough in the water, you'd think she was a Libbazaon(sp) and wets
all her belly, sides and neck(no sponging this horse, hey, maybe we could
teach the rest?) and dads shoes, who mom thinks is a riot(except when she
does it to the water trough and empties it.Well ol' Rascal and dad had the
last laugh today.Yes I did forget my sponge, but we were just walking a new
trail to get the distance for training purpose. My gosh it was only an hour
and a half. He was nosing the water and swirling it and playing with the
minnows , when he seemed to be searching for something,,,hhhmmm could it be
sand, not rocks, hhmmm, could it be so he could flop straight down on his
belly?Lucky I ride with my feet under,like they say, so if the horse drops
out from under you you'd be standing on the balls of your feet?WELL, GUESS
WHAT FOLKS< it WORKS. Yes sirree, only my old already rotting ariats and
calves got wet. Dad roared, Savannah splashed somemore,Mom yipped, & got
Rascal up, doubletime to save her new saddle from a soaking. Moral of the
story:only let him drink in
rocky places, advoid the sand at all costs. 2nd Moral of the story, now I
know why some of you ride in sneakers that dry out quickly.
Just another interesting day with "the RASCAl".

Laurie,
Check "Suitability". They have tights and breeches (etc) patterns and
those don't have seams on the inside leg (which is where my tights usually
"blow out" first. If you have a sewing machine or serger to sew on stretch
fabrics, you should be good to go. They also have links on their website to
sources of materials for full seats and knee pacthes.
I've had really good luck with them, personally. I think the http is
www.suitability.com. I hope this helps. I live in east-central Texas, so
I understand where you're coming from!!!

Do the seams rub? I thought of making coolmax tights and wondered how
thy would work. I can get the fabric for about 8.00 . I bought some coolmax
shirts from Gaylans and Sports Authority on clearance. Were 45.00$ but by
checking everytime I go back there I got them for 15.00$The difference from
cotton is incredible, feels like my own AC. Target has some too. I find
them in the "tennis" or active sportswear departments. Those of you who
haven't tried them, but live in hot humid summers don't know what you are
missing.There are some on ebay too. My breeches still bake me, so I'd
thought of making tights. And if anyone has other ideas for knee or whole
leg patches besides leather (which I use now) let me know.I'd like to find
"clarino" patches, buthaven't yet. Something that will wash. Laurie andf
Rascal
Ride at 7;00 with 85%humidity and 76 or ride later at 90's and
50-65%humidity. hhhmmmm

Look for the Kathy Ireland Coolmax tights at K Mart. They are well
made, smooth and soft, and often on sale for $10!
I used them for both running and riding. A very nice product.

I got some Coolmax tights at Wal Mart a few months ago. They were
called "yoga pants" and cost $10 each! They're light weight and nice and
stretchy. They were flared and very long, but easy to take in on the
sewing machine. I also got a couple sleeveless coolmax shirts, too. I'm
always keeping my eyes open for cheap lycra tights, but I was really
surprised to find Coolmax at Walmart!
