I pretty much spent all weekend on a bike in a pair of MUSA knickers. They were great, cozy, just right balance between warm and cooling for a Texas hill country fall ride. Complaint? - yes, the nylon seams are hard, and put some wear into my Brooks saddle. Canvas shorts are not as hard as nylon, and won't do this. So yes, I, too would like to see some nice canvas and/or wool riding shorts and knickers. Lycra? That's for the gel and diaper crowd.
