Do these chaff? I was thinking of wearing them under pants while I commute by bike (~10 mile ride each way).

They didn't chaff on me, but I did not ride a bike. They are like pantyhose, just slightly heavier.

Since they're made out of silk, I don't think that they would chaff. However, I never wore them while riding that long on a bike. Depending on what type of material you wear on top, they could start to fray. I wore mine under jeans a lot and they eventually started to fray in some areas. That was after about three winters of wearing them constantly.

Hhhmmm, how to answer this since I have never worn bike shorts before... If you are wondering if it will feel like wearing the old style Maxi Pads - it isn't. Actually, I forget that I am wearing bike shorts during my ride and it prevents the soarness/rubbing that I was experiencing where my legs meet my hips. In my humble opinion, these are perfect. I wouldn't want to walk around in them all day, but for riding they are just the thing I needed.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

I have used these on hikes of 10 miles and more and on the treadmill and have never had chafing. They do get your calves warm in a hurry.

In the gym, I just wear the hotpants or capris but I have worn them under sweatpants when I have been out shovelling snow (lots of snow!!) and I've been fine then. When I workout in the gym, my body doesn't feel any hotter - just the Zaggoras are soaking wet on the inside when I'm done. I don't know if this is any help to you, but I would give it a try - I really like mine.

No you would definitely have to wear some long johns underneath to stay warm. They are comfortable but under 30 degrees you will be cold if outside for anytime.

I have and it was fine. I prefer just wearing leggings under them, but jeans will fit. For the best comfort, go with leggings.

I bought a size smaller than I usually wear because of the reviews saying they ran big. Mine fit like a glove, so I can't wear them comfortably over jeans. I would guess that if you bought them in your normal size, wearing them over snug jeans would work fine.

I've never done it. It think it woukd be a little unconfortable for me. Also if you excersise during the day most likely they are going to be wet at night. However I was thinking on buying the pants and sleeping in them.

Provided they weren't to constrictive- yes. I wear it under my martial arts pants with no issues

You can feel the zippers but they don't irritate my legs like one would think. I wore these on a 3 day hike and they are comfortable but they don't hold their shape at all. They stretched out a lot. I'd suggest day use only and not necessarily hikes for these.

No. But they are really lightweight. Nice for short trips around town. If I'm going more than 10 miles though I wear traditional bike shorts underneath them. Was just getting ready to order another pair for summer.

I don't use them for biking, but I do use them in the winter for pedaling my kayak...works the same. I wear insulated socks with them and they work great for me.

I have been pretty drenched running with these and I have not had an issue (yet). I tend to sweat heavily and I've worn them for several 6-8 mile runs without issue.

Yes they do. I love these!! There is no slipping so the pants hang very nicely.

Not at all! I love these pants! I just wish they were a little warmer because I would wear them all year long! They are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn (without a sound).

i would have to say yes, they might be as much as 1/8" thick. i have the same issue with my riding boots - they are already kind of snug and the socks make them hard to zip up but they are warm!
