I was wondering about what everyone wears on the long rides. I
couldn't find much in the archives so forgive me if this very elementary
info has been covered before.
My guess is that jeans are a bad idea. The huge seam on the
inside would rub like crazy. So, what do you guys suggest? Sweats,
tights, shorts, etc.? I have seen the pants that are in the Australian
Conn. catalog and thought they might be a good idea, but are there other
alternatives? Does anyone wear chaps or half-chaps?
From the discussions on polar fleece lately, I wonder if pants
would be possible? Comming from personal use, I have a polarfleece neck
warmer/hood that I wear on my motorcycle also and even with the heavy
wind, it offers lots of warmth.
Thanks for your comments...
