Default Swampass problem solved

Just wanted to give a shout out to Cycle Gear for their "Heat-Out" riding shorts. I have tried different riding shorts before and they all help in some way or another to make those long rides more comfortable but these shorts are by far the best. Wore them today on a 4 hour ride in the blazing sun and they do in fact wick perspiration away from your junk. Noticed the outside of my jeans were moist at stops but the crotch was nice and dry with no swampass to make sitting painful. My buddy was applying Gold Bond at every stop.

I thought you were going to say "wash your ***"

LD Comfort riding underwear are also great.

I agree! I've got the "heat-out" shirt and pants. Chose the 1/2 shirt sleeve length and the shorts vs. the long sleeve and long pants. I also got the helmet liner too. And they do work very well.

They all wick the sweat from your body. And for the shirt...it almost cools you as you ride since the water is drawn away from your skin but when air passes over it, even thru a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt, it feels cooler than IF you did not have this undergarment on.

Rode in some high humidity and heat the past 2 weeks here in PA. Unseasonably hot and humid. And I was impressed at how well these items work.

Wife had her shirt and shorts on yesterday for the first time when we took a long ride and she said you were right, these work very good. WOW, I was actually right about something!!! lol

Cycle Gear always run sales on their stuff. I think the prices are pretty good and affordable.

Harley's "Circulator Pad" cures the "swamp ***" too. Costs a bit more than new underwear, but it's always on the bike.
