How are the openings and seams finished? Will it cause chaffing with extended wear or repetitive motion?

I have used these on hikes of 10 miles and more and on the treadmill and have never had chafing. They do get your calves warm in a hurry.

Yes, I have washed mine twice. Just take the metal handles off them. I haven't seen any signs of shrinkage or seam failure.

Since they're made out of silk, I don't think that they would chaff. However, I never wore them while riding that long on a bike. Depending on what type of material you wear on top, they could start to fray. I wore mine under jeans a lot and they eventually started to fray in some areas. That was after about three winters of wearing them constantly.

I think it's tough. Seams are well built. Mine is full of bug out gear, without sagging or stretching.

I believe it is so the seams don't stack up. I used this liner as instructed and the finished job was perfect.

Ours gets worn daily and we have had no problems with seams tearing or anything falling off.

I used a tied woven chamois and didn't have this problem. Keep away from old bath towels and loosely woven cottons or polyesters. You will, probably, have to give the board a light hand sanding now with 220 grit or emery.

I have not had this problem at all with these. The plastic piece is grooved to hold the pants and I have not seen any creasing.

Hi: I use mine as a room divider, but so far I haven't had any finish rub off on my hands when I move or adjust the piece.

I find that the elastic or bands used around the leg area do not irritate and the brief all around is well padded. Never had a problem with chafing, might benefit from using an ointment ie A&D.;

I can't answer specifically about the seams. The mattress was sent to my son in another state. But, he did say that he was glad we got that one because it was very comfortable.

It's smooth as long as you move smoothly. There aren't any seams in mine. Mine doesn't bump.

It is cut. The material is not fraying - I was concerned as well. That said, because of the angle of my desk (too high) my arms are constantly rubbing against the edge - it is not comfortable, but likely better then if there were a seam. I do see some wear after several months, but it is negligible. I'm wondering if I will replace or attempt to re-cut when / if it becomes unsightly. I think most folks, assuming they have the right ergonomic setup (unlike me) they should have no issues with standard use. Overall 4 stars.

I did not have that issue. It does keep feet softer so there is no cracking.

Keep in mind amazon has a full refund policy. So after you see the cover , you can determine if this seam issue will be a problem.

Very smooth, like drywall. This will cover the ridges in paneling well, but not larger defects like holes or raised defects like nailheads. As long as you butt the seams tightly, a good quality paint will cover the seams

Check the finish on the sheeve for any burrs. File them off and then emory cloth it smooth. Otherwise it has been great. Hope this helps. Good luck.
