> **[Shop Wool Jeans](https://woolf.cc/wool-jeans)** > > Wool is nature's high-tech fiber. It does what others can't. Comfortable: Merino wool fibers are superfine and perfectly stretchy, making for a comfortable fit however you move.

> [@goose\_value\_69](#): > > DQ: I’m looking for cut offs but in wool for winter/rain. Is this a thing that exists? I just donated some Italian army surplus wool knickers. Maybe look for something similar. They were pretty nice heavy wool. Wore out the ass after about 4 years of near daily winter wear. They were pretty fugly though. ---

Repaired some old knee warmers with Gear Aid’s neoprene patch kit, and was pleased with the results. For a really strong bond, use a piece of wood or plastic under the fabric when applying heat. ![FHt37D4X0AMjBmh](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/3/0/30dc0a06f7944f1336008991c8aa64a90774bcb9.jpeg) ---

my issue is the stuff loses its elasticity and won’t stay put or fit properly, not that it gets holes ---

For a really strong bond, use a piece of wood or plastic under the fabric when applying heat. Update: still going strong after 5-6 washings. No lifting that I can detect, and the patch looks even less conspicuous. ---

Don’t know if this has been discussed here before, but Velocio will sell you refurbished kit. I know that people here mostly either have team kit or exclusively ride in jean shorts and sweaters, but juuuuuust in case: > **[Velocio Renewed](https://renewed.velocio.cc/)** > > Extending the life of cycling apparel with Velocio Renewed ---

I know this is irrational but that triggers my ew ew ew reflex I’m fine with used flannels and jeans and coats, etc. but this feels more like buying someone’s used underpants that they wore to the gym ---

when i lived in DC i was a regular patron of the Washington Sports Clubs near my office. i also rode my bike to work and sometimes would train before work and hang my sweaty wet bibs to dry. one day, they were gone. someone stole them. this was also a gym where the sauna had to be shut down due to…activities that are probably best done in private? and dudes used to shower with the shower curtains wide open and enjoy themselves ---

I don’t understand sauna sex; if it’s properly hot my sinuses and lungs are burning, I’m sweating in a completely unattractive way, and all the surfaces are too hot to touch. just let me toast myself in peace and we can go do sex things later where it’s soft, clean, and an appropriate temp for my nethers to touch ---

> [@BEEutiful\_Wednesday\_DDS](#): > > you know what also helps cool the body is not having sex in a sauna One presumes that one’s presence in a sauna implies a desire to endure heat and that the increased blood flow and whatever else arises are the inevitable physiological response to the circumstances. ---
