My recommendation for indoor rower rowing shorts for erging on the Concept2
Tumblr media
I've put a lot of meters onto my PM5-updated twenty-year-old Model C Concept2. While you can, and should, row in whatever shorts you have on--even pantsless if you own your own erg--there are some better solutions. 
Concept2 Cotton Lycra Rowing Shorts
Tumblr media
Until a month ago, I was a true blue JL Racing / JL Rowing / JLAthletics rowing trou devotee -- until I tried out a pair of the Cotton Lycra Shorts that Concept2 sells on its very own Online Shop.   They're only $29.00 and they're cotton. They breathe differently and they're much more comfortable over the longer-term than are my Polypropylene JLRowing rowing trou, which I always buy out of their Bargain Bin. That said, I am already fearing that the cotton shorts aren't as durable as my Polypro JL rowing trou, all of which have survived for years of abuse. Two really old pair have become a little threadbare (I wouldn't wear them to Yoga, they might be a little too see-through) but I still wear them, and shall until they actually rip through. I feel like the cotton pair might be less durable--but I am willing to budget to replace them or get more than one pair so that I can distribute the wear and tear on each one over time. Since these shorts are exclusively indoor rowing trou and I do live alone, and when I wear them out, I also wear a pair of gym shorts, I might be willing to allow these cotton shorts to really get pilled and threadbare and even holey until they just become unwearable to me and not just publicly unwearable--publicly inappropriate, if you know what I mean.   I don't wear underwear under rowing trou (nobody does) so I wear them as a first layer. Even if I wear a pair of shorts over the trou, I will take them off if I am using these 90% cotton/10% Lycra shorts on the erg or even at Spin class. But, I always throw the shorts back on as soon as the classes end, not because these shorts are revealing but I am just self-conscious. All the guys who wear rowing trou at the Potomac Boat Club aren't even the littlest but self-conscious. Bottom Line: Choose Concept2 Cotton Lycra Shorts for price and comfort
JL Racing Rowing Trou
Tumblr media
I have never been able to kill a pair of JL Racing rowing trou no matter how long I have had them or how hard I have used them.  I only own Polypropylene JL Racing rowing trou and they have never run or laddered, they have only gotten progressively more threadbare and see-through. They still work fine and feel even more comfortable to be because they're looser and more relaxed, but the oldest ones have also lost all of their compression--but I don't mind that. I have never killed a pair, though I am sure if I had a girlfriend or wife, she might have thrown out the two oldest pair sine I do have newer, less ratty pair--but to me, failure means I can't use them anymore, and that's not the case. At $36.95/pair, they're almost $8 more expensive than the cotton shorts but they're a whole $16.05 less than the Concept2 Black Polypro/Spandex Rowing Shorts, so they're a bargain if you compare like to like.
Tumblr media
Warning: you don't have much of a choice when you order from JL Racing's Bargain Bin. You only get to choose between No White, No Hi-Viz, As Bright as Possible, As Dark as Possible, and Surprise Me! but it’s worth the $16 difference—plus, it’s fun because you don't know what you'll get. I might always only order black tights myself, every time, but because I like a deal, I have gotten a lot of crazy patterns in my orders, including zebra stripes and blue snakeskin. I did choose "Surprise Me!" in that case, however.  And I, personally, have never found a flaw in any of the Bargain Bin rowing trou orders I have made, myself. Also, you can get an entire Polypropylene rowing unisuit/rowing singlet for only $32.95 if you shop on JL Racing's Bargain Bin -- and while they didn't have any spandex rowing shorts right now in the JL Racing Bargain Bin, I would keep checking back because they often do. Bottom Line: if you like getting the best value and durability over comfort for your money, buy your rowing trow from JL Racing's Sale Bargain Bin, though even if you need to buy your Polypro rowing trou full price, they're still cheaper than similar Polypropylene shorts at Concept2.
Tumblr media
While I spent 15 of those years on the seat that came with my C2, I added two Concept2-brand Seat Pads, one on top of the other, when I started doing high-meters challenges, but that doesn't change anything--I mostly got the pads because my girlfriend at the time wanted--needed--the extra padding, but I haven't converted anything back.

Hey all! I've got about 4 days to go before I start my four month adventure to raise money for @wholekidsfoundation. I'm reaching out for your support. Although I'm doing what I can to limit my costs on this entire trip I still need help. The main cost will be gas and food. Other costs will be stuff like health insurance and entry fees. Check out my website at www.tobytjohnson.com and see what I'll be up to. Hit up @gofundme and show me some support. I can't do this without it. Help me make a change in children's health!!! #fitness #adventure #motivation #ocr #spartanrace #toughmudder @spartanrace @tough_mudder #fitness @wholekidsfoundation @jlracing @irolflex @rxbar @merrelloutside @crossfit #crossfit @gopro @theellenshow @jimmyfallon @jimkwik @garyvee (at Washington)
