I tour and do long day rides on a B17 saddle with MUSA shorts and loose, cotton knit boxers (Hanes?). Saddle soreness is never an issue. I never would have believed this possible back in my bike shop days, when I recommended padded shorts for any kind of "serous" riding... What a bunch of hooey!

I recently purchased a pair of MUSA shorts and a pair of the knickers. They are well designed, extremely comfortable and certainly worth the price. I've been wearing one or the other daily. It's nice to be able to go into a coffee shop (or where I am, a country store) without people snickering

During a few years riding in the hot and humid conditions of New York's Summer, I found the wool top was great, but generally preferred the coolest option down below - traditional black riding tighties. Knickers are appropriate for Spring and Fall. Best, Seth Los Angeles On Jun 21, 8:47 am, Joel

It's interesting that East Coast in general, and NYC specifically doesn't have a bunch of manufacturers... I would think there is a critical mass there. Today was a MUSA day for me! DE On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 3:20 PM, JoelMatthews wrote: > > Well there is Ibex in Vermont, but they are primaril

Well there is Ibex in Vermont, but they are primarily known for winter gear. Ibex does make (or more precisely has a factory in China make) organic cotton long shorts. I like wearing natural cloth whenever possible, but if the cotton is too thick, it will be uncomfortable on longer rides. The M

Any of you MUSA knickers owners from the Midwest or Southeast? I have knickers from Swrve, Richard Reisenberg, Chrome and Swobo. All are good, but all seem designed with West Coast weather in mind. Meaning where it is hot, humidity tends be low, and where it is humid, it usually is not all that

Knickers are about the only MUSA product I don't have. Mainly because when I was searching for them, Rivendell was out. Otherwise, am also sold on the product line. Was bugging Grant this week about getting some more seersucker shirts in so I can have another one for my trip out to San Diego in
