    LDComfort Dryline Shorts

    I bought a pair of these at the Chicago Motorcycle Show today and while the weather doesn't permit a riding test I thought I would at least test the wicking properties of these shorts. I wore them for my brisk 45 minute daily dog walk. My normal undergarment for these walks is wear cotton briefs. I usually work up enough of a sweat that the briefs are damp when I get home. Today I took a longer than usual walk and picked the pace up so I sweated more than usual. When I got home I checked the LDComfort shorts and, just like the demo at the show, I could feel dampness on the outside of the shorts but the inside was dry.

    The shorts are comfortable to wear and have no seams in the seating area like bicycle shorts. I have worn bicycle shorts for motorcycling for years and always have some sort of hot spot due to seams on the bicycle shorts. So far I am impressed with the wicking capability of the dual layer fabric used in these shorts and look forward to trying them on long rides. Here is a link to their website. Check out their videos and testimonials for some good info.

    Thanks,
    Joe

                  But if it wickes, why do you need the flap?


                  Those would actually be quite nice under some riding pants.

                    Don't encourage him Bruce, when he only had bicycle type shorts Joe tended to drop trow whenever anyone asked about how he liked them. You just can't scrape imagery like that off the back of your retinas although we have tried.

                            In my ongoing efforts to be more like Joe Nardy, (if that is even possible), I have acquired a pair of said LDComfort Dryline Shorts.

                            At this time I have not tried them yet, but I will say that delivery was very quick and they appear to very well made.
                            I will give them a full workout at the upcoming Fennimore rally and report back...
