[RC] Long distance riding and jeans - Beth LeggieriHoping for suggestions to those of you who wear jeans, not breeches/tights/jods, when riding longer distances. Am looking for advice for how to avoid the "crunch at the knee" that causes blisters, etc. This is for a friend who will be doing mostly walking, some trotting--and not posting, and some cantering. I've seen some postings on this -- 1. True that wearing pantyhose under jeans helps avert the friction from seams? 2. And for those who for whatever reasons prefer not to ride in form-fitting riding attire, what else would work? Anyone ridden in sweat pants? 3. A cowboy told me that's what chaps are for -- ?? Do any of you ride in full chaps over jeans and find that the chaps do protect your skin from rubs and blisters? Thanks for helpful advice. You can reply privately if you wish, but I'm
thinking that perhaps there may be some lurking newbies who might benefit from contributed suggestions. Beth in Texas
