I just got a pair of First Gear leather riding pants and they feel very slippery on the seat. It's like I'm sliding back and forth on the seat. Has anyone else noticed this with a new pair of leather pants? Is there a quick fix?

Dude, the quick fix is to ride around for a few hours in the humid Georgia heat. Once they are wet they won't slip around anymore.

Cheers,

Allan

My leather pants actually seem to stick to the seat more than regular pants. Maybe it's weather dependent -- in the kind of humid weather we've been having, it wouldn't surprise me if the leather gets stickier.

Thanks to all who attended!

Do you keep one bullet left for yourself, for when it's all over and done?
