Re: [RC] Need suggestion for riding tights - Sharon Levasseur

Good heavens, how did you rip them beyond repair in just a few rides??  What
were they made out of?  My Carousel tights are supplex (DriFlex) and I've been
dragged across gravel for 10 feet... also ridden through woods thick with
thorns... lots of other mishaps... no damage!

Quoting Suzy Ticer <sbticer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

I did wear tights to a couple of rides until they got ripped beyond
repair so I am back to wearing jeans when I ride.  But I always
LIBERALLY apply Desinex (sp) (or any other heavy duty baby diaper
rash stuff) from knee to knee to prevent sores on my legs.  I usually
try to reapply during hold times if needed.  This should help with
the weird rub spots or holes.  And I have found with endurance riders
you can wear what ever you want to, shorts, tights, or jeans,
whatever is comfortable for you.  My husband wears wool cavalry pants
and cavalry boots and he has never had any problems.
