Although a pair of pants (or maybe knickers) sound appealing, I don't expect to buy the new ones.
I own an earlier generation of the grey/blue pants, with Velcro leg straps. The material is fine, for what it is. My two primary beefs are the elastic belt and the silly-low rise, which combine to produce visible buttcrack while riding, or at least visible underpants. It's meant that I hardly ever wear them on a bike at all, as I do not wish to impose that scenery on riders behind me. As I recall, the rise is low by design, because Grant doesn't like loose fabric on his butt. I do, especially if it means that the waistband stays covered by my shirt/jersey/sweater/jacket. Perhaps it's the difference between riding drop bars and uprights, which I'm not going to do As with other Rivendell products, Grant designs products that work for Grant. If what works for Grant doesn't work for you, you're going to have to go elsewhere. Peter Adler who gets exposed buttcrack with MUSA pants+Nitto Technomic+Noodles, so either Grant's beta-testing is not comprehensive or he doesn't care about buttcrack exposure Berkeley, CA/USA On Sunday, August 29, 2021 at 6:15:02 AM UTC-7 Steven Sweedler wrote: > I agree with Frank about the belt.
