Also get hiking sock liners that do the same thing and your feet will be much more comfortable as well. I just spent a whole day&nbsp\\;in 100 degree Oklahoma heat mostly just idling at a motorcycle course and I was much more comfortable than most of the other riders.&nbsp\\;

The reason the sheepskin works so well is it breaths. Our seats have a waterproof liner under the leather to protect them in rain and don't breath AT ALL. Sheepskin is a great idea.

My friend Bill ruined several pairs of white golf pants when he power-farted.&nbsp\\; There was no "barrier layer" to absorb the skidmark.&nbsp\\; All we could do was pretend we didn't know him and pray for Labor Day.

If your gonna go commando, you should wear camo pants.&nbsp\\; That way, the brown spots blend in.

I only ride commando when I wear my kilt.

I would be concerned with getting stung in the nuts by a bee or worse a wasp.

Why did he have several pairs of pants on when he did that?
