When i ride the strom for more than 30 minutes and stop the seat of my pants is wet from sweating? This prevents me from going in places. ( looks like i took a leak). I know others out there have this problem especially here in July. I usually wear jeans when riding. What do you do or wear? Thanks.

More absorbent underwear (read Underarmor) and lots of powder.

Beaded or sheepskin seat covers allow some airflow under your butt. Also I avoid wearing cotton undershorts when riding in the heat, since the sweat takes so long to dry. Try synthetic fibers instead, they dry much faster. Yeah I know they're under your cotton jeans, but it seems to help a bit.

Edit: oh the joys of simultaneous posting! +1 on the powder.

The answer "Depends" on the problem. Get it?

You know, that Depends thing is not a bad idea.

Jeans are terrible riding pants, for a number of reasons...looking like you pissed yourself being one of them.

I wear cordura/mesh pants, usually Fieldsheer 4-seasons with good wicking undergarments and don't have the sweating problem.

Friend, what you need is a Beadrider.

This is, by far, the simplest solution to achieving proper airflow 'twixt and 'tween the goolies.

change yer underwear, stay away from cotton or similar miosture absorbing fabrics with seams that hold the moisture and have uneven pressure against yer skin

Gotta go for black jeans, so it's less visible.

Otherwise, +1 on the sheepskin.

boxers, not briefs, and a sheepskin seat cover, with mesh riding pants.

Seriously, try using some of the synthetic shorts as mentioned above.......they can be found at Bike (peddle-power, that is) Shops and Sporting Goods Mega-Stores.

Beadrider is your friend. Like air conditioning for your butt. Allows evaporation, better than a sheepskin.
I wear shorts under my mesh riding pants. Bicycle shorts can help if you must wear jeans. Years ago pantyhose was the rage. (I'm told)

Buy an Airhawk. And stop wearing jeans! Buy some cordura stuff.

 

[cacheshoe]

+1 for the beadrider.

The yuppie riders who want to ride for more than 30 minutes at a time will be asking this question forever.
