Jeff,
That's what I was trying to get across. The Volers, which I love in terms of comfort, are showing wear while still practically new while the others show no wear after probably thousands of miles and hundreds of washings.
Kind of raises the question in my mind, how can you tell what brand/fabric is going to wear longer? And does the pilling/abrasion that the Volers are showing necessarily mean that they are actually wearing faster or is it strictly cosmetic. I guess only time will tell.
LngDistance, was that one of the supported tours? One of them, maybe Bike Across America, passed through New Orleans a few weeks ago.
Regards,
Raymond
