Well, dang! They don't say anywhere on the website! I've got the 2006 paper catalog here, and it says "featherweight brushed nylon."

On the website the MUSA shorts come in one color and in two-tone (with olive crotch gusset and pocket splices). Looks like the pants come only in two-tone. Which is ok with me, cuz I sweat so much on the bike that it looks like I've got two-tone pants on anyway.

I'm just a gratuitious sweat-er.

Anybody know how unbreathable brushed nylon is? I had a pair of brushed nylon pants from Columbia Sportwear once, and they had mesh inserts for ventilation. They still held in the sweat and they pilled up pretty badly. I'm thinking Rivendell might be more picky about the quality of their fabric. I hope.
