Ok this has been driving me nuts. I just put over 1200 miles on last week with most of them at highway speeds. My left leg seems to get different turbulance than my right. I am constantly reaching down to pull the left pant leg down over my boot. The right stays fine, but the left blows up. I have the small extra pieces on the bottom of my fairing. Does anyone else experience this?? I know they sell straps with clips, but I think they look like the straps that hold my sheets to the mattress, not for me.

I have always got my rideing britches 3 or 4 inches longer. Look at all the old bike pics an you see the pants legs rolled up an cuff like when their not rideing. So when your rideing you can roll em down and keep the wind from zipping up the leg and freezing the boys off. Or yucan get some pants garters or once way backon a dam cold night an I had a hundere miles to go the pants got electrical tape wraped to hold em down

Quit riding side-saddle.

Yesterday coming home from work it was 111 degrees and that wind up the pantlegs felt pretty good but yellow jackets up there are a different story all together (I know).

These are cheaper than the Faarken and work great. You can't even tell you’re wearing 'em

I get the same thing on occasion but just attributed it to my left leg contantly moving during shifting.
