Lighweight and very comfortable, complete sun protection too.
Unorthodox I know, works for me
Makes sense I guess; less layers to trap heat & perspiration & germs. The long pants have enough weight to minimize crotch-bunching.
That said, yesterday I did a 100km ride in warm temps with touring shorts & Andiamo lined undies & was quite comfy. IME some lining/padding really helps prevent the fabric from bunching up in the crotch area & causing abrasion. As to wearing unlined undies underneath padded shorts, I dunno. Maybe OK for cooler Minnesota temps but in most US areas one would need to wash both undy & shorts daily.
