I was going to start sewing up some shorts just like this a while back and couldn't get anyone super interested in the project. I would be interested in helping design, sewing and over-all representaion of the idea. If you end up going forward with this, I will buy 2 pairs for sure. If you would like to talk about design or production, email me at [email hidden] and I can share my ideas and lend a hand.
Contrary to the comments made here, people need, want and would wear this type of product for sure. The sew-your-boxers-to-your-shorts-so-you-can-wear-them-to-your-knees crowd always feel that jeans and dirty t-shirt are fine for everything, including unicycling in 35c (100f) heat. Some of our wife's and GF's don't think stinky SWAG is attractive.
- Start by defining the specific problem. People on here will direct you toward shorts designed for Trials or similar forms of riding. If you want road shorts your needs will be different.
- Then work from the best pair of bike shorts you can find, making changes to make them better-suited to unicycling. "Best" should not be a factor of price; better to base it on something that works for you, or for a bunch of people you know. Some of my favorite bike shorts over the years have been cheapies (from Performance Bike).
