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.

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

I've done pretty intense exercise in these pants (plyometrics, running) and so far the inside band in the pants have not slid down while exercising. However, I've only had the pants for a couple months. Who knows what will happen after multiple uses/washes... With that being said, an inside band that starts to get loose could also be a sign that you're losing inches from the waist!

I bought these for my daughter, she wore them during hot yoga with no problem, and that was LOTS of sweat! Hope this helps...

I would say no. I wore them motorcycling at +40°F 55mph, the wind felt like it was going right through them. Glad I tested them out before it really gets cold, I need to find a nice pair so I can keep cycling until it snows.

The way they are vented, I doubt they would keep out much dust. I use them street riding, great for that. Although, for the small price and solid quality I would pick up a pair and try it.

It really depends on the pants. I've worn them under sweatpants, but I think jeans would be tight.

Yes to both questions. I am wearing now after finishing a mile walk. Sometimes I forget it is still on. Totally can't be seen under pants and you can walk and sit with it on normally. Hope this helped.

No, There's not much (if any) padding for bike riding. These are made out of pretty thin material.

They probably wouldn't be too warm, but I would personally choose lighter pants if it was that warm (I live in Michigan - 50 degrees feels warm outside to me!). I wear these sweatpants outside to jog or walk when it's 30-40 degrees, but my body temp heats up by jogging. After you wash these a few times, they sort of lose a tiny bit of the fuzz inside, but I still love them. If it's 30 degrees or colder, I'll wear these + some running tights underneath. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question! If it's 50-60 degrees outside and I wear these pants, I'd probably wear a short sleeve shirt as long as it's sunny.

Whoops, I made a mistake, my pants are not 1000 Denier (duh), but the Ripstop material, which is still very tough material. Anyhoo, you won't have a problem with them.

Yes. I wear them over my combat pants, which is made of 1000 Denier (very tough/coarse material) and don't have a problem with it. I imagine jeans would be even more comfortable.

There is a thin layer of padding, but not a full chamois. I'm not a runner, but I don't think these pants are suited for that purpose. They're loaded with padding down the front of the leg, which is good when cycling (due to wind) but could be restrictive for a runner.

They run pretty true, but they have elastic on the sides. They will be a little loose. If your waist size stays consistent that should help.

My own mom is 88 and wears these pants all the time with fairly frequent changes (4 - 7 times per 24-hour period) due to urinary incontinence. She's been wearing them exclusively for over a year and has NEVER had an issue with chafing, sores or other irritations. They fit well (better than Depends), are very comfortable for her and are extremely absorbent. My mom loves them, and she can go anywhere without embarrassment. I hope this helps.

I don't think they are very bulky. I think you could wear them under jeans if you wanted to.
