Altura shorts damage.

[postman]

i have just banged off an e mail to Altura.You see i have had a funny time with two of their shorts.Two different names,but the same problem.
Problem is friction ruckling,that is the best way of saying it.
Due to modesty i wear said shorts over my bib tights when i go into food emporiums.Well as i cycle the lining of the pockets which is like a mesh rubs on the thighs then ruckles up,which when you get off the bike it looks like you have two ears sticking out.The first pair this happened to i made the mistake of ironing them to make the cloth 'sit' down,big error it sort of ruckled and melted even more.So i bore the brunt of paying out for some more Altura shorts but a different model name.Well it has happened again 'elephant ears',so i have asked for a replacement pair.
Has anyone had this problem with Altura shorts over bib tights or longs,it will make my case a bit stronger if i have more evidence.
I will keep you posted of developments.

Turn them inside out - logically the "ears" should tuck themselves back in.

Would it be a solution just to tack the pocket liners down with a bit of thread?

Won't try that.I once had a mate who put his cycling jacket on back to front,for a laugh.But he fell off and the ambulance man hurt his neck when he tried to turn his head round.

I am going to look out for a cyclist pulling a Elephant on the way home.
