do other people jeans or trousers..what ever you wear while unicycling get ripped or start to wear away after a while in the inner thigh area where it rubs on the seat? this is the first time its happined to me but i noticed that one pair has just worn though not long ago. and then looked at my other pairs and i can see it is starting to wear away. it did take a long time for it to happin but does it happin to other people?
I do all my hopping seat-in, so my seat rubs on the pants a lot sometimes. This rubbing causes the seems to come loose. I only notice when I am riding and feel a breeze go up my leg, and see that there is now a inch-3 inch gap in my pants.
It hasnt happened in a while though. Maybe I am waring higher quality pants with better seems.

I find riding in jeans is very uncomfortable because the way the jeans are made, the heavy cotton material creates a big seam in the crotch which is uncomfortable to sit on.
I wore out the inner thighs of some expensive cotton shorts when I first started riding. Now I ride with inexpensive lightweight cotton shorts over nylon/spandex compression or bike shorts. Even better is nylon outer shorts over the spandex shorts.
The inner thighs of your pants/trousers will wear out faster if they get wet with sweat. Wearing spandex undershorts will reduce the chafing and rubbing on both your skin and the outer shorts.

Yes, a lot. I hate it! It doesn't matter what kind of material it is, I've ruined all kinds of stuff. Even several pairs of boxers. 🙁
All my jeans except one have two big hole in the inner part... I still wear them with a black or blue cycling short under. I sometimes feel like I look like a tramp but when i'm asked about those holes at work, the answer "eh unicycling!" seems to be sufficient:o
