The reason why the Carousel Tights are superior is because of the "breathable" material used for the padding which I believe is essential . . . kim from lakeport

With this discussion recently about female abrasion issues, I thought I would put this out there for input.  I am testing a riding pant for a company that is working with the people that make Thinline Saddle Pads.  They want to insert this material in a riding pant for endurance riders to reduce concussion, since so many of us use sheepskin, etc.  The material is not fluffy though, it's more like a thin neoprene.  I used to have a pair of Carousel Tights that had padding that I loved until they wore out.  But the padding in the crotch (it served it's purpose) took some getting used to, it was a bit like a diaper between my legs when I wasn't in the saddle.
