Gary Eagan Says:
"In well more than a million miles of riding, competing in and winning scores of endurance competitions, I've tried every imaginable array of underwear, including bicycle shorts and no shorts at all, to fend off the dread "butt crawls." LDComfort ™ Riding Shorts are far and away the best solution available. The LDComfort ™ formula of outstanding microfiber material, snug fit and no misplaced seams is the perfect formula to keep one's butt in the seat for long days without discomfort. The multiple seams in bicycle shorts eventually contribute to a numb, crawly butt, and conventional briefs or boxers either cut off circulation with their tight, elastic seams or quickly become a liability when loose material lumps up under one's butt. LDComfort ™ shorts solve both problems perfectly."

"I visited with you at the Iron Butt Association National meeting in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For my style of riding you recommended a long sleeve top and tights. I mentioned I was heading across the desert to California, not back to South Dakota. I didn't think the long sleeve top and riding tights were going to work in the high heat. You assured me that was the correct choice so I purchased them. You also threw another angle at me when you said not to wear my mesh jacket. You told me to wear my Kiliminjaro with the front vents [sleeve] open and you explained why I would be cooler with this combination. I thought you were nuts! After riding through the desert in my LDComfort long sleeve top and riding tights with temperatures soaring to over 105 degrees and arriving in California I cancelled an order I had for a new mesh jacket! Mario, you were so very right about the best way to stay cool on a long ride through the scorching desert. My LDComfort undergarments are a major part of my ATGATT attire for all weather conditions. Riding in the cold of winter or the arid heat of the southern desert, I don't leave home without them."

"My wife & I attended Hyderseek & completed a 48 Plus ride in 8 days 14 hours. I'm attaching a picture of us in front of the Hyder sign, with our LD gear on.
We experienced temps from 34 - 100 degrees F. The gear worked just as I said before.
Thanks again"

"The first time I used the LDComfort ™ Shorts was on the 2005 Iron Butt Rally. I won a pair at a gathering in Seattle and gave them a go while on the Rally. They literally saved my a**. Eleven days in the saddle, through heat and humidity my butt savored the breathability and comfort of these shorts.
I wore them under a pair of Under Armour tights, then under my Aerostich Roadcrafter. I didn’t think my comfort level could get any better on the bike until I tried the LDComfort ™ Tights. Without the shorts and only the LDComfort ™ tights under my Aerostich I remained comfortable through heat, cold and rain. I couldn’t believe the difference between the two products. The Under Armour went into the trash can and my garment of choice still remains the LDComfort ™ Tights. Thanks again for finally giving the Long Distance riding community a product that just keeps on giving.
Sincerely,"

"G'Day Mario, just letting you know that I absolutely love my LDComfort ™ Shorts here in Australia. As you may know I live in the state of Queensland which is generally quite warm to very hot, we hardly have any winter. So I have worn the shorts in very high temps and also on rides where it went to -6C. I have done many 1000k days with them and also a few 2000k days and have found them to be most comfortable. I am looking forward to pushing them harder with a double crossing later this year and really wish I had them on during my Brisbane to Fremantle IBA 50CC last January. It would have been much better. Anyhow, glad I have them now and hope to see you one day when I get to the US."

“Mario,
Just wanted to send you a picture from our trip around Lake Superior and to say thank you for providing a wonderful product. We had temps from 45 to 85, rain for 2 days and the rest of the time it was sunny and warm. The LDComfort products were under the Darien the whole time. I had to laugh at my riding buddies as they had to change under garments as the weather changed. We had to stop at a sporting goods store in Wawa so the Harley owner could get some warmer clothing; union suits look funny on a Harley rider!  I washed the garments once on the trip and they were dry and ready to go the next morning. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me about your products, they performed just as you had told me they would. I now know what the Iron Butt folks have as a secret weapon, LDComfort!!!”

"Well, what can I say, another Iron Butt run "under my belt" and you guys played a key role in that success. I just finished my 2nd Iron Butt run, the 1500 mile / Under 24 hour, Bun Burner Gold. I must admit the LDComfort ™ "Dryline Shorts" were awesome and most importantly, I never knew they were there!! While sitting anywhere for 24 hours is certainly crazy, sitting on a BMW K1200LT, through curves, over bumpy roads and into a 45 mph side wind, can be sheer insanity. But(t) with the right planning and the right gear, your ass(ets) can really dictate the success or pain factor!! In this case the Dryline Shorts and the Dryline Turtleneck were so comfortable, I had NO problem wearing them the entire ride.
I just want to say "Thank You" and that you can count on me to be one of your best "Word of Mouth" guys, spreading outstanding (and proven) praise for your well engineered clothes!!!!
All the best !!"

UPDATE:

"Chalk up another 1,000+ “Saddle Sore” Iron Butt Ride using LDComfort. This third Iron Butt ride took me from Cincinnati, Ohio, through torrential rainstorms along the Mississippi, up into Iowa where I visited the movie site of “The Field of Dreams”, across the State of Iowa and on down through Kansas City, MO, continuing on South into Arkansas; 1,112 miles in 19 hours – ALL while covered with the Long Sleeve LDComfort Shirt and the LDComfort Tights.
At NO point along the ride was I ever uncomfortable due to any seams, crimping or chafing.  In other words, YOUR clothes did their job; kept me comfortable!!
I had never worn the tights for that long of a ride and I must say that while I enjoy the shorts as well, the tights helped keep my legs from rubbing the riding pants and causing any irritation. When I am riding for a couple of hours I think I will continue to wear the shorts but on anything over 4 or more hours I will certainly pull on the tights!!
Mario – I have another Iron Butt ride coming up this Fall; the Coast to Coast in 50 Hours, and as always, I wouldn’t think of wearing anything other than the best; LDComfort!!  Thanks for all you do to provide us the BEST riding comfort possible; we appreciate it!!
Regards,"

"I just got back from my first long distance ride using your LDComfort ™ Riding Shorts, the dryline shorts. I have sufferred from monkey butt for years on these rides. I tried everything, talc, bicycle shorts, different pants and finally a $700 custom made saddle. The new seat felt better but when it was hot and I wore regular cotton shorts my poor butt still sufferred. No such problem with the LDComfort ™ 'Dryline' Riding Shorts. Problem solved.
I am very impressed. I rode through North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee in hot weather. No monkey butt! Your shorts are great! I will not take another ride without them, they did the trick, no doubt about it. No more gimmicks, no more trying different solutions, your riding shorts made it a breeze to sit in a motorcycle saddle for 12 hours in hot weather. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Kindest regards, "

UPDATE:

"I just got back from my second long trip of the year, over 10,000 miles fromChicago through Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. You can bet parts of that were very hot. No monkey butt, not one day of reness or discomfort, not one moment! How? 5 pairs of LDComfort ™ Riding Shorts and a Russell Day Long leather saddle. This is unbelievable, in the past I would always be sore and miserable after a long hot day on a bike, this time, not once! I am 56 years old and have been riding motorcycles since 1970 and it took this long to discover the cure for cursed monkey butt. (Which was) for me, your riding shorts together with a custom leather saddle. A sheepskin seat pad also worked on my other bike but getting rid of the cotton shorts (in exchange) for LDComfort ™ Riding Shorts was the key. No joke and I don't work for you or own stock in your company. Thank you."

"I would like to give a testimonial of the value of your riding shorts. They really do work!! I just returned home from the 3 Flags Classic ride put on by the So. California Motorcyclists Assoc. I rode a total of 4500 miles, from Tijuana, Mexico to Calgary, Alberta, Canada and back home to Southern California, in 10 days. I rode a few days of almost 600 miles, through the heat of Arizona and New Mexico, and on up through Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and on to Calgary. I wore the LDComfort ™ riding shorts every day and never experienced any of the usual discomfort of past rides. I did not have any rashes or sore places when I arrived home. They are very comfortable to wear, and they do keep your rear end cooler. Thank you again for a great product. I will recommend them to all my riding friends."

"Mario, As I told you I just wanted to drop you a message to let you know how wonderful the (LDComfort ™) riding shorts took care of me on my return trip home from the BMW National Rally at Gillette Wyoming. My son and I had traveled 3500 miles on the trip out to Gillette and I was sore and walking a little funny for a few days after we arrived at the rally. I looked at your riding shorts for three different days as I toured all the vendors products and could not make up my mind if I wanted to buy a pair. Finally I gave in and purchased a pair and it sure was a good day on the home front when I did. My son's war department told him to get home ASAP or else. So we had 3 days to cover 2000 miles in 100+ temperatures through Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri and then on down to Georgia. Your riding shorts kept me comfortable the whole distance home and I saw no soreness in the normal areas from sitting in the saddle too long. My knees were stiff but that is from old age I guess.
Thanks for a great product. I wish you the best and I will be back for more of this product. "

"I was dubious at first but after watching the video of how water was whisked away I thought I'd try them. While is hasn't been extremely hot these garments keep me very comfortable. I always wear both leather jacket and pants in all weather conditions and the underwear is the best option I've used. Great service very friendly and personable. Thanks for a great product! I'll be buying more and recommending to others."

"I just finished my first Iron Butt ride and wanted to thank you for this product. It was absolutely the most comfortable undergarment that I have ever worn. Thanks again and keep up the good work."

“Just a quick thank you. I’m 6/1, 310lbs. I could never get comfortable on my bike, 08 HD FLHT. I’d ride about 1 hour then start squirming around. That’s over now I ordered a pair of the riding shorts and was blown away with the comfort. First ride was with my wife on an 85 degree day with high humidity. About 3 hrs into the ride my wife asked how my magic underwear were working. I told her, ‘so good I forgot I used to be uncomfortable’. GREAT PRODUCT!!! So now I need to order 2 sets of underwear and shirts. One for her and one for me.
Thank you for a great product.”

“Just got home from a 15-day 6500-mile ride through TX, NM, AZ, CA, NV, UT, ID, MT, WY, NB, KS, OK and back to TX. Temperatures ranged from 36F to 107F. Took extra riding clothes but ended up wearing the same thing every day (washed out each night, of course): LDComfort long-sleeve shirt, LDComfort tights, Tech Sox, Side Sport boots and Darien jacket and pants. 
Following Mario's instructions on the LDComfort site (www.ldcomfort.com) I was completely comfortable in all conditions. I can't say enough about the LDComfort undergarments paired with the Aerostitch Darien. I was rained on most of the 15 days but stayed dry and comfortable. At 107F in Death Valley I controlled the airflow through the jacket vents just as Mario's instructions and was completely comfortable (it was damned hot when I stopped though). I only added the Darien jacket liner when the temps dipped into the 50s; the LDComfort stuff really extends the range of comfortable temps.
A big thumbs up Mario!!!!”
