Default Re: Buttless in Boone

If you're talking about the "trash can ass" effect of most leathers, you'll never get rid of it. Racing leathers are generally precurved to fit a fairly aggressive riding posture, which involves having your torso at least somewhat bent over and your feet fairly high up on your pegs. When you're in this posture, you'll find that the leathers are comfortably snug. If they were allowing for less junk in the trunk, you'd be strangling yourself if you tried to tuck.

If you're looking for leathers for touring use, I'd suggest going with a good textile suit, like Aerostitch. They'll give you protection from the elements and have lots of convenient features that racers and track day junkies don't want or need.

Good luck! [thumbsup]
