I had thought about the nylon tights, but since I don't use a fleece
seat saver on my saddle, I was afraid that they may prove to be a
bit slick. Since I have always worn cotton/lycra tights, I probably
don't notice the binding. (Is ignorance bliss?) Do you use a seat
saver, Linda? Are the tights slik in the saddle?

One of our riding buddies is too tall for most tights (she's 6' and
skinny as a rail) - I think a pair of carousels in a long might be a
great Christmas present for her!
