None I have found. I have found in a recent change of riding gear, that
cotton lycra was not good for me. The fabric did not slide on the western
saddle stirrup fenders at all. I was also using suede half chaps for the
first time ( actually 2nd time- never use anything new at a ride, try out new
things on training rides) The further down the trail we got, the more sore my
shins got. Half way through the ride I dumped the half chaps, but the cotton
lycra did not slide like my nylon lycra tights did ( NEVER A RUB WITH THEM!!)
Next ride wore only the cotton lycra ( tough to take off 1/2 way through the
ride) and the shin problem was even worse. I will go back to my wearing out
nylon-lycra tights until I can get some new nylon lycra riding tights. I am
seriously considering having her custom make them with the padding ALL over.
