Thanks, Garth. That's very helpful. I'll just order some swatches of different supplex/taslan and see what looks/feels right. Will report back. Harald. On Saturday, June 13, 2020 at 10:55:08 AM UTC-5, Garth wrote: > > > Supplex nylon , sometimes referred to taslan nylon, those are the fabrics >

[RBW] Re: MUSA Shorts fabric?

Supplex nylon , sometimes referred to taslan nylon, those are the fabrics you're looking for Harald. They come in 2, and 4-ply with the higher the ply the stronger and more durable. Which one to choose ? You got me ! Every manufacturer has their secret sources and specs you know and thus all

Seconding Joe’s recommendation on the Devold merino shorts Riv sells. Yes, they’re pricey but they are super comfortable. I use them exclusively for travel since they can be worn multiple times before washing (Kookaburra wool wash is great). They also dry quickly. Try a pair or two. Boosting

#1 for wool underwear and unpadded MUSA shorts. I wasted 20 years trying to get comfortable on upright bikes with padded cycling shorts, then rode recumbents for a few years. A Brooks B17 with wool and MUSA was a stunning revelation. It works! -- You received this message because you are subsc

Jeff, I appreciate the feedback. Sounds like lots of people like these shorts and that they are durable. I've not tried wool underwear so that may be something to consider for longish rides. Doug On Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at 12:59:42 AM UTC-5, Jeffrey Arita wrote: > > Doug, > > I own 2 pai

I have 5 pair of the pants and three of the shorts, I love them. The long pants are especially nice casual pants for people who ride all the time, the shorts are nice but have little advantage over a pair of athletic brand shorts like Reebok. Marc On Monday, January 8, 2018 at 12:56:06 PM UTC

Hi Doug, I've got two shorts, one knickers, and one pants. I like the latest design of the shorts. Material is just right, pockets are properly sized (a problem with the older version). I like the belt closure, too. The knickers are my favorite for cooler weather. (Too warm for 50F+, as they bl

Yeah, they do last forever. I bought mine 6 or so years ago and they still work great. The issue is that I have lost about 25lbs since then and the large size I have are too big. Now I need a medium. On Monday, April 18, 2016 at 11:50:13 AM UTC-4, Ron Mc wrote: > > I like all the MUSA pants - k

I like all the MUSA pants - kick around and kayak in the long pants, winter bike in knickers, and summer bike in the shorts. I think a past BLUG mentioned much of the MUSA clothing was going by the wayside because of cash flow and inventory. I think maybe the knickers will stay. When somebod

Been using my knickers for two seasons now, and I like them a lot. Comfortable, airy, seem durable, and a good length. The seams at both back pockets came out in the corners after a month or two, I sew it back, just a few centimeters of seam, and nothing more happened since then. When I got the

I almost always buy 32" waist pants/jeans. I got the medium which I was able to try on in the shop. Waist-wise the mediums fit great for 32". Nice thing about these shorts is the buckle/fasteners for adjustments. Length wise, they're a little short for my taste. I may even try a large out due

[RBW] Re: MUSA Shorts

I'm 6' with a 32" waist. I've got both small and medium MUSA shorts, and the mediums definitely fit better for me. The smalls are just a little too short in the inseam and fit a bit tighter than I like. But they are definitely great shorts. gary On Friday, July 25, 2014 4:15:19 PM UTC-4, Mike

Hi Mike, I'm a 30, and I think the smalls are fine for me (but on the waist it's on the tighter side of fit). I like them, but the pockets ride out of the bottom at times when I ride. Not the end of the world, but I don't have this problem with other shorts. I think the knickers are my favorit

we were heading north on Alamo so I told my buddy to turn into Alamo Plaza for a quick photo op. Maiden voyage of my Moser build. But agree, cotton swells when its wet and becomes a heavy mop. Light wool wicks it out and continues to breathe. On Wednesday, May 29, 2013 7:38:45 PM UTC-5, WE

Matt, I am long of leg and short of waist. For longs I ordered by leg length and sinched the waiste to fit, works well for me. The shorts I orderd by waist. The tan colors did stain a bit from the Brooks saddle, the grays have not. Angus On Jan 24, 1:14 pm, Matt Critchlow wrote: > Hi, > > Fi
