Last I looked all the reviewers who reviewed his product on Amazon hadn't reviewed anything else. Reminded me of those BikesDirect shills a couple of years ago with no posts who'd come on here and ask us if we'd heard about BikesDirect because it looked like such great deals.

To be honest, I've seen quite a few people with links to their blogs, sites, or stuff for sale in their sig lines, but the OP is rather blatant about it. Perhaps a link to the product itself on the company's website for an overview and then follow a link to Amazon from there would be more acceptable to the community?

I wear shorts, but thinking about buying a pair of Dickies pants and turning them into man-pris (knickers). Cycling specific clothes cost way too much, and most shorts that come down low enough on the leg also tends to have the crotch midway to the knee 
.
Thinking about possibly seeing if a kilt would be in violation of the dress code.

Ooh, a hot black vinyl saddle that's been sitting in the sun all day with no shorts on? No thanks.

No vote from me. I wear knickers on every commute. Thinner, lighter material for hot days. Which brings me to this request: Fox - please bring back the Mutant 3/4 kickers. I LOVE them. Wearing mine to the point that I'm patching the seat.

A couple of reasons, actually:
1. Some people don't want to change clothes at all, so they'll wear their work attire while on the bike (and hope they don't get too dirty).
2. Some people like to have protection past their knees while riding. Road rash on the knees suck (and that's from experience
).
I'd like to try knickers myself, but cycling specific ones are too pricey.

90% it's in shorts. The afternoon ride home during a Sacramento summer is typically in triple digits.
