RE: [RC] Mens Breeches - Vicki AustinHi Maggie and Linda, I make breeches / tights and zippers, belt loops , and waist bands are easily added. I make both winter and summer tights. Spandura, Nylon/ lycra, cotton/lycra, micro fleece/ polarfleece. I even make those tan ribbed ones that some people like, however I find them irritating to ride a long time in. I like my nylon / lycra best for comfort and can add crotch pads or knee pads or both. I personally do not like any padding as it feels like a diaper (feel the same way with those sheepskin saddle pads) I also do not care for any patches as I like to be able to move around in the saddle. I don't wear chaps either as those stick and iritate as well. I will not be able to make anything before xmas as I am swampped with orders already but.............if I can help after the holidays just let me know. I ship everywhere. Email me privately for orders. Hope this helps. Vicki --- Mike Sofen <msofen@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Believe it or not, most womens tights also fit men because they're so darn stretchy. However, the different brands and models all fit VERY differently, so some experimentation will be required. A great way to shorten that cycle is to attend the convention, where he'll be able to try on a number of different brands. My personal favorite for riding temps above 55 degrees is the Saddle Bums Racing Tight and they fit well. I like a slick seat so that I can move/post easily and their fabric is quite slick. It can come with both a crotch liner and a seat cushion but the latter did not work for me at all - it bunched up badly so I cut it out. Other favorites are Kerrits and Carousel, and they are both warmer than the Saddle Bums. I wore them when I lived in Washington and they were excellent except on the very cold/wet days (when nothing was warm). Since I wear half chaps, they last nearly forever.

He's finally said he'd wear them if I buy them, but everywhere I've found only carries women's tights. Maggie in Ohio ----- Original Message ----- From: Elite To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 5:23 PM Subject: [RC] Mens Breeches I'm finishing up my Christmas shopping and need some recommendations on men's breeches from some of you guys. He won't wear tights yet, so breeches are what we need. I'm looking for a brand that wears well, is washable, has a lot of stretch and comes in black. But it MUST have the belt loops, zipper and waistband! LOL. Any recommendations??? Thanks Linda __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
