What makes the LDComfort Riding Shorts different from other shorts?
Unlike most underwear or sport shorts LDComfort™ Riding Shorts have no seams in the seating area and have a snug fit to avoid folds of fabric between your skin and your seat/saddle. The leg openings feature gripper elastic to prevent the material from ridding up the leg creating folds in the fabric. The men’s shorts also have a convenient ‘Roofly’.
We use a unique, double layer DRYLINE® material in the making of our Riding Shorts. The special wicking properties of this material help keep skin dryer and the outer layer creates the cooling effect of evaporation. The material offers a four way stretch that stays with you and prevents chaffing. These shorts were made specifically for comfortable long sitting hours.

Why did you choose DRYLINE® Fabric?
 After testing many different types of fabrics, we decided to go with a micro fiber fabric. There are many micro fiber fabrics on the market, but for the purpose of comfortable long distance motorcycle riding, we needed something that would be the optimal thickness and have the correct layers for proper water transfer and temperature control. A fabric too thick will hinder the wicking and fast drying properties, while a fabric too thin does not properly protect against the chaffing of outer garments.
DRYLINE® fabric is a unique, dual-component fabric featuring a hydrophobic fiber (Polyester) inside and a hydrophilic fiber (Nylon) outside. This unique combination of 63% Nylon, 23% Polyester, and 12% Lycra® (for stretch) creates a push-pull moisture transport design drawing perspiration from the skin to the garment surface where it evaporates. Using a polyester/nylon blend works well because nylon draws moisture through the polyester and dries more quickly than natural fiber fabrics and keeps the wearer much dryer. No single layer polyester or polypropylene can match the performance of our dual layer fabric. The added Lycra® creates a four-way stretch in the material that helps it conform to a body’s contours and stay comfortable. This unique combination prevents heating up or cooling down too quickly because it keeps you dry. The micro fiber fabric is also incredibly durable and lasts a long time.

Why do you make the Riding Shorts in cotton?
We make a cotton short for people who believe they can only wear cotton material. While the wearer can not take advantage of the advanced engineering offered by synthetic material he or she can still benefit from the design components of the LDComfort Riding Shorts.
What size should I get?

With a tape measure, measure your waist where the top
of your pants usually sit. Find that size on the chart
and it will tell you what size to order. If you are between
sizes we suggest that you stick with the smaller size. So if you
have a 33” waist, you would order the size Medium. Do not worry, our shorts are not designed to be tight.

Are LDComfort™ products good in cold weather?
With the special fabric that keeps you dry, you will
stay warmer. We do not suggest that you rely on our
shorts in extreme cold for the kind of warmth you require,
but they make for a dry, non bulky and non abrasive
base layer. For colder weather and full leg coverage
try our riding tights made with the same fabric as our
shorts.

What is a Roo-Fly™?
The Roo-Fly™ is an easy to use fly that looks like a
long horizontal buttonhole with a patch pocket sewn
over the top for support.

Why is there no padding?
Pads create bulky additional seams; retain moisture from
wicking interruption, and uneven folds. They also contribute
to rider distraction from a sense of disconnection with
the motorcycle. If a rider requires additional padding
in the seating area, adjustments or alterations should
be made to the seat or saddle, not to the rider's shorts.
Thick pads inserted into undergarments will not compensate
for a poorly designed or ill fitting saddle.

Are they similar to compression shorts?
By design they are similar, but the function of compression
shorts and LDComfort™ riding shorts are different. The
reason being when you are riding long distance, you
are sitting for long periods of time. Compression shorts
are usually worn short term and can restrict proper
blood flow. You don’t want anything being restricted
when you are riding a motorcycle and that is why our
shorts fit with a gentle hug rather than a tight fit.
