    you want plus fours for cycling not plus twos. plus twos chafe you knees. they are for climbing, or dressing like louis xxviiii, or riding litespeeds.

    I see, so would you say that if the pants are too tight you might breach the overall integrisity of the garment?

    nice word usage, but tightness isnt what i was refering to. “What are Plus Two’s?”

    “Plus Two’s have a Two inch fold over below the knee.
    Traditionally styled Plus 2’s giving deeper rise and a fuller fit.”
    “What are Plus Fours?

    Plus Fours are longer and wider trousers with a baggy effect, They are called plus fours because to make them an extra four inches of material is needed to fold over below the knee.”

    i dont even think those pants up there are plus twos. they dont really go below the knee at all. they’re more like tight board shorts.

    Personally I love a pair of tight wool board shorts. Saltwater, wool and sand, what a great combination.

    Sorry about the broken wikipedia link above. Looks like they didn’t find my article worthwhile.
