But on the very first day I was loosing my pants!! Being a yoga instructor I decided to wear the most common lycra underpants, the ones soccer players use under their shorts. I don't know if they will work after 3 hours rowing... Definitely all the ones that the thread has some texture won't work! I ENJOY your BLOG!!!!!!!Sonianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919094178463029114.post-77826553331491141292011-10-27T08:48:46.356+01:002011-10-27T08:48:46.356+01:00I went rowing yesterday and tried a pair of runnin...I went rowing yesterday and tried a pair of running undershorts I bought in Aldi, which go down to the knee. They were very comfortable and chafe-free, but felt surprisingly draughty and cold, due I suspect to sweat wicking out through the material. Back to briefs, I think.Chris Partridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883064324795042491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919094178463029114.post-56143953570418280522011-10-26T18:12:34.427+01:002011-10-26T18:12:34.427+01:00Chris,

One day while having a brain cramp, I bought a pair several sizes too large. They were not practical for the bike, but worked perfectly on the boat and I have been wearing them in the hot weather ever since. During the colder months I wear a pair of Polar-tec fleece sweat pants under nylon rain pants (when it gets very cold) and that works just as well.<br />I also noticed the padding I use makes a difference. Seat pads made for kayaks seem to work out best. Under no circumstances do I wear underpants – they are an invitation to chafe and in-grown hairs!<br />Good luck!<br />DavidChris Partridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883064324795042491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919094178463029114.post-68582379882544428572011-10-25T08:21:25.067+01:002011-10-25T08:21:25.067+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chris Partridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883064324795042491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919094178463029114.post-57879970913248071202011-10-25T02:45:31.261+01:002011-10-25T02:45:31.261+01:00After several years of skiffing on the Thames and ...After several years of skiffing on the Thames and stoically suffering the famous 'skiffers arse' I finally relented and tried a small pad of Karrimat camping mattress on the thwart.
