Default Ballroom Pants

Having more room in the crotch area is a must for comfortable riding. As you ride, you slip forward while the pants are fixed on the seat. The result is a stranglehold by your pants on your family jewels.

Better seat design could help, but the easiest and cheapest solution is to buy pants with longer groin area. Just found two on amazon and ordered. Any of you have tried different pants or have had the same issue?

Lol this is definitely the funniest thread I've posted on yet. No, I haven't had that problem, but I've got a pair of nuts smaller than a squirrel's. I ride with the stock Fxdb solo seat, and I wear looser fit jeans. They're not hangin off my *** like all these punk *** kids nowadays (I ****in can't stand seeing these losers walk around with their butt stockin out from above their pants), but I normally conceal carry iwb so all my pants are about 2 sizes larger and that seems to give me and my flea-nuts plenty of breathing room.

Duluth Trading has some pants that are actually called ballroom pants.

I could use those. I have to replace a bunch of jeans anyways. My Road Rage 3 has a problem burning holes in my pants.

Forget getting different pants, that won't really fix the issue. If you are sliding forward you're better off getting the seat modded so you and your boys will stay in place.

Levi's 541, built with elastic weaved into the denim, and were designed and tested by pro football players so there is more room in the thighs. Works great and keeps everything from becoming a pretzel knot.

...actually I'm more worried about plumber's crack at red lights. I'm constantly grabbing my back belt loop and pulling my pants up.
