I have too much of a beer gut to wear any of them....whaaaa! Actually I purchased the last pair of 3X (or were they 2X) pants and while nice I must hem them as they are for guys 7 feet tall. I do have the shorts but they are a bit tight in some ways and loose in others. I like the (idea) of knickers but am concerned that I may not be able to wear them at my place of employment and generally because of their semi nerdy, hippie, mountaineering look. I still can't find a combo that allows me to ride more than about 20 miles in hot temperatures without suffering from crotch discomfort. I've tried gel bibs, plain cheap cycling shorts, athletic breathable undies and plain shorts, regular shorts and undies, MUSA shorts with regular undies and the best combo has been my KEY brand logger jeans with suspenders and regular undies but only for temperatures below the low 70's. Every other combo eventually bunches up the fabric and gets uncomfortable. Maybe its the suspenders that are doing the trick..... not sure that the clip on suspenders wouldn't tear the nylon fabric of the MUSA stuff. Any ideas for us big boys, I can ride more were it not for the discomfort in my nether parts?
