Cyclepants: you sweat a lot in that region, and regular knickers are not up to the job.

A good saddle is not a wide soft thing, but a narrow hard one that suits your anathomy.

The rain in the eyes also bother me - any ideas?
Hi Erik

Well I am not prepared to spend that amount of money, lol! Have spent a fortune already!
I bought mine from Halfords as an all in pack some 3 years ago and they have done okay but are huge on me and need to roll up the legs, lol!
They have that breathable mesh inside and I guess I can't complain overall but sure do need something better.

LOL! That region doesnt get wet even with a gel saddle and am not keen on regular knickers plus I don't sweat either but do pedal like mad in power only just my knees really, face, hair, eyes and my gloves which are heated but I don't switch them on in the wet

Maybe I should get one of those bike brolly thingys that I could fly to work with?
lol
