Re: [RC] Riding Tights Questions - heidi

Will be getting myself a pair or two of Nylon/Lycra
riding tights.  Due to the sensitive, tender skin on
the inside of my knees I tend to get sores there.
Have tried all kinds of padding when my friend finally
allowed me to use her cycling tights with stirrups.
It worked!  No more sores!
Am finding it difficult to find any tights that have
stirrups.
Is it possible to find these?
How about with ankle zippers too rather than only the
elastic bands at the bottom?
Are there more than one weight of Nylon/Lycra blends?

In the fall and spring have worn these under my riding
pants which has the knee patches.
Not sure how they would work alone without being under
something else, especially come the hot and humid
summers we have here in the midwest.
Would they be too slick riding in a leather saddle
and/or with a sheepskin cover?

Val, check out Carousel riding tights.  They come with their own knee
patches so you don't need britches over the top to have the "grip."  And
you can get them with or without stirrups.  (I'm a
no-stirrups-on-the-tights person, but Colleen makes 'em both ways...)

BTW, to prevent sores, also try using products such as Desitin or some of
the body glide products.
