    Defeet Wool Kneekers?

    I'm thinking of buying some Defeet wool Kneekers. They are "one size fits most." I'm wondering if this really means "one size fits most male cyclists who generally do not have fat on their thighs" or if they are also okay for women, in terms of fit, comfort, ability to stay put over time, etc.

    Thanks!!

    I can try them on before buying them. I'm wondering about how they are after several hours of riding. Do they start to feel tight and annoying at the tops, or maybe they loosen up too much and fall down, etc?

    I have the non-wool kneekers - love,love love! I weigh 105 lbs/5 ft 1 ht, I lent these to my 170 lb/5ft 8 ht DH - fit us both fine. we both have "drumstick" thighs (not the Barbie thighs I dreamed of as a child). And after I washed them, they still fit me fine, not all stretched out. I think the wool kneekers would fit the same - just don't kneed () them in so Cal.

    My DeFeet wool experience has been a sad saga of shrinking-shrinking-shrinking. And wearing out and falling apart long before it's time.

    I will not by any DeFeet wool ever again.
