A comfortable, ergonomic undergarment has finally been
designed to eliminate troublesome hot spots, shifting,
binding, pressure points and chafing. Sitting on bulky
seams and folds over long distances can cause discomfort,
skin damage and muscle tension leading to intense
pain, mental distraction and early fatigue. The LDComfort™
Riding Shorts are designed specifically for the motorcycle
rider by a motorcycle rider.
The truth is that anyone who sits for long periods
of time can get uncomfortable in their seat. Truck drivers,
snowmobile enthusiasts, horse riders, and even people
who sit in an office eight hours a day need some kind
of support and smooth seating surface for comfort. The
largest muscle in the body, the glutei maximi, tends
to absorb and transmit a great deal of strain when agitated
by sitting on anything but a smooth surface. Regular
brief underwear possesses seams and folds that
pass directly underneath the area where most of a person’s
weight is distributed pushing on pressure points and,
in a rider’s case, can cause compression sores.
Loose, ill fitting boxer style shorts offer little support,
bunch and gather folds in the material, and end up causing
similar discomfort. Effects of these potentially
harmful conditions multiply when subjected to the
negative stimuli experienced on lengthy road trips.
When riding a motorcycle, you don’t want to be
more worried about your sore bottom than whether or
not the car in the other lane sees you. Many riders
consider the LDComfort™ Riding Shorts a necessary
safety item.
How do LDComfort™ Riding Shorts solve
these problems?
The seamless seating area and material that stays with
the rider provides a smooth surface for a person to
sit on. A rider, while adjusting his/her position for
curves or irregularities in the road surface can cause
seams and folds to chafe making the skin tender. LDComfort™
Riding Shorts feature a skin hugging fabric and above
the knee gripper elastic which prevents them from riding
and bunching up. The placement of the seams is also
an important factor. The 2 panel, mid-thigh length design
eliminates multiple seams and seams in the seating area.
This way the rider’s skin sits only on smooth
fabric.
Chaffing Buffer
Some outer garments can cause chaffing against the skin - specially outer pants that have mesh on the inside and no protection from the protective knee pads. This can cause some pretty serious sores to develop.
This unique construction also ensures the DRYLINE®
fabric will gently hug the rider and maintain contact
with the skin rather than chafe against it. This soft
fabric also helps wick away moisture while offering
enough cushion effect to act as a buffer against chaffing
from outer garments.
Note: 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. What they do provide is bulky opportunities
for additional seams, retained moisture and uneven
folds while contributing to rider distraction from a
sense of disconnection with the motorcycle. |
