any non slip pants sold in the whole world?
I know that the quick-dry materials for biking wear are needed, yet the pants are so slippery. I feel insecure that my butt keep gliding. Does anyone know if there is non slip sitting area of pants made in the whole world?

Sliding could indicate that your saddle is not in the correct position. If you are sliding forward the saddle might be too far back. The slippy nature of a leather Brooks makes it easy for me to get the saddle setup correctly. The lack of slip with their Cambium models made it more difficult for me to position.

BITD, suede saddles would prevent any slipping. But as noted above, be sure you're fitted properly.

1) Did you just get a brand new Brooks saddle?
2) Do you have your saddle, and bicycle in general, set up correctly?

The saddle (regular smooth surface) was installed when I purchased the bike years ago at the store. I am purchasing a new one. Hopefully, it would help

Friction causes chafing, which causes problems. If you're sliding forward, either the saddle is back too far or the nose needs to be angled up more. Leveling the saddle just gives you a starting point, it's not gospel.

I think that it's generally thought to be good when you can slide effortlessly forward or rearward on your saddle. It allows you to micro-adjust position as conditions change. I use hard leather saddles that are very slippery - and like it that way.
If your position is good and your fit is good, you don't need the saddle for very much support. You just sort of float on it, in my experience.
Question: Are you needing to reposition yourself often because you've slid out of your desired riding position? You may have a fit issue. Could be saddle pitch adjustment, or could be that your balance point isn't right or your reach is too far.

To answer Phil's question, yes, I reposition myself often because I slide out of my desired riding position. However, I feel still secure riding more upright and forward, when I slide forward, yet not what I would feel comfortable though. All of you guys' inputs are helpful.....thanks

I highly recommend golf slacks. They're comfortable, stretchy and allow your skin to breath during those long sweaty rides.

you've gotten wonderful answers but I find the best nonslip material is Velcro yes and you don't have to use too much lust a couple of strips and that'll do the trick , even if you fall you'll still land in position , and it come in many colors,,,,

But wait ... before you do, can you post a photo of the bicycle and saddle?

Well, case is closed, and no picture was taken. My hubby was so excited seeing the new saddles last night and replaced the old with them this morning before I noticed it. We rode this morning. The new saddles have a better friction with not so smooth surface. Since I had told him about you guys' suggestions before he replaced the saddles, he tilted the tip, but a little too much. Still, I did not slide any bit, but only felt so strenuous on my lower back, as if I rode and tried to pull myself up on a monkey bar at the same time.
A little adjustment can change a lot in riding
Thank you guys again for all the fun input and great suggestions

If you are still interested in non slip stretch pants I use Outdoor Research Ferrosi pants. Designed for rock climbing, they are also great for cycling and day to day wear. Made for both Men and Women, they are wind proof, breathable, OK in light rain, dry very fast and very comfortable

I tried that but when I tried to get off the bike it came with me. Ever tried to explain to mall security why there's a bike stuck to your rear end?
