I still have a bit of a gut.  Okay, more than a bit.  But the MUSA
shorts and pant sit normal on me.  When we've had some hot weather
even will slip on my huge XXL which are way too baggy now for a bike
ride.  Can't wear them at work, but do wear them a lot of the time
otherwise.

The knickers do ride a little lower in back.  Not an issue as long as
I have a longer top on.  Most of the WoolyWarm tops fit the bill
nicely.  But the only other knickers I own are Swobo and those have
their own issues.  Nice for cool weather as long as they aren't
catching on bike parts.  The MUSAs are much more practical that way.

A Wolly Warm jersey would be nice.  Or a wool sweater.  Yeah.  In the
original Nigel Smythe tweed pattern. Then I could match my bags.
Creepy.
