I know what you mean, but I don't know of any. I think she's looking for a pant with a chamois that isn't a capri, and doesn't look like tights. So, a full length version of the board rider capri and the like.
I ride in regular pants with the ever so fashionable leg band. Might be an option?

Yoga pants? With the fashionable leg bands on both sides?

That's pretty much it. Years ago I had old-fashioned pants clips. Metal and held your pants leg. Don't know whatever happened to them.

There must be slim stretchy ski pants out there that look more like pants than biking tights do, yet aren't flappy or loose. Look though ski apparel on the sporting goods websites.

That's a good thought.

I think LLBean has some "classic" fit pants that have less wide legs. I've not tried biking in them (they're 100% cotton long pants - not good for biking), but that style would work.

Not on TE, but looks like the sort of thing I was thinking of...

That is a cute pant. It may work.
I'm a "knees in" rider, so any extra material is apt to catch on the rings. I probably need to go try some on at some point. I may even look at making or modifying some.

Hi....Take a look at Hind, SportHill and REI---all three have "tights" that are about half way between a tight and a pant. Lisa's idea about ski shops is a great one---I've seen some things online that look like they'd fill the bill...........I have a couple of pairs of the LLBean "perfect fit" narrow leg cotton pants in black. (Got them on eBay for a ridiculously cheap price--$4 or $5--a few months ago.) Those work just fine for short commutes where you want to hop off the bike and look not-too-sporty at your destination. But they wouldn't be my first choice for a long ride.

I'm quite fond of my Rivendell biking pants. I have the butternut color, but now they have grey... and I want grey!
Mine don't look quite like this picture (no green crotch gusset, it's butternut) but here's what's on their website right now: http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=22-433Last edited by KnottedYet; 11-17-2007 at 06:58 PM.
