By the way, do any of you cyclists have problems getting comfortable in motorcycle pants (leathers or otherwise)?
When I train a lot and my legs get more muscular, my motorcycling pants (touring-style, textile) sometimes give me cramps at the back of my knees. I try to keep relaxed while riding, but I still flex a little bit now and then, and then my pants don't offer enough room around my knees. I didn't have this problem during the winter when I quit cycling and only went on walks for a few months, but now that I'm getting more active mountain biking again, I feel those trousers giving me slight cramps again.
I'm planning to get a proper leather suit this season. I've read that high quality leathers should stretch a bit. How much do they stretch?
