Identifying the desirable Cycling Pants
Most occasional bicycle riders wear jeans or shorts while riding about town, so they don't see a problem with wearing them on longer bicycle tours. But if you’re an experienced bicyclist, you fully comprehend the importance of a great pair of riding pants. It usually takes inexperienced bicyclist's a good while to find out that skimping on such a vital piece of clothing is rarely a good idea I had to find out the hard way how important cycling pants were, after I got rubbed raw on my first tour and could barely sit down for a week afterward. But at least I didn’t split my pants wide open the way my riding partner did halfway through the tour. Both of us bought cycling pants and shimano shoes for our next tour, and we haven’t had any problems since. So, what should you be looking at when you’re deciding on a new set of cycling pants and cycling sunglasses? Hey, I think most cyclists would say that the most important thing is probably comfort, especially on longer trips. And to be comfy, the tights have to fit right. Manufacturer’s sizing can vary, so trying bicycling pants and bike tyres on before you purchase them is a good idea. You want a snug fit for your pants, without being uncomfortably tight. Don’t check the fit while you’re standing; check them when you’re crouched down into a rider’s stance. If the fit on your tights is too loose, chances are they'll rub you. That’s what’s sweet about Lycra and spandex. They’re tight, yet when they need to stretch, they will. Pants usually consist of spandex or Lycra combined with polyester or nylon. Nylon is known for its remarkable ability to absorb dampness, keeping you dry and comfy. Nylon loses its color over time, but the fabric itself is very rugged. Polyester is comparable to nylon and performs even a little better than nylon for dampness management, because polyester is more hydrophobic. Nylon threads absorb more moisture than polyester, so nylon will feel colder when it's wet and will stay wet longer, which impedes its breath ability. But Polyester is less rugged and retains more odors than nylon. Wool has even better wicking abilities than nylon or polyester, and it doesn't hold as many odors. The new merino wool is softer and more comfortable than wool used to be. It's non-allergenic, but it doesn't shed the wind as well as polyester or nylon, and it's more costly.

The weave of the fabric is very important. If the yarn on the outside of the garment is slimmer than the yarn on the inside of the garment, capillary action will pull moisture to the outside. The increased surface area of the thin yarn gives the water more room to spread out, increasing the wicking capabilities. This superb type of construction can be found in certain nylon and polyester fabrics. Bib pants are a favorite choice with serious cyclists because they don’t rub their waist. And most types of bib tights keep the rider cooler. An extra benefit of bibs is that when you are riding in wet weather, the shoulder straps hold your pants in place, so they don't hang or sag. Some of the more hard-core riders will alternate pants, wearing a different brand of pants on successive days so they don’t continually get rubbed in the same place.
