A strange question. I have never worn Moleskin pants and the only thing I know about them is that they are made of wool. So my question is are they warm, are they comfortable, do they where well?

 

Do they bag at the knee? 

 

 

Moleskins are usually relatively stiff and a reasonably tight fit.  I used to wear them growing up, because we had a deer farm and they were the most kick-resistant pants for wearing in the deer shed.  I don't recall them bagging at the knee (sued to wear them on quad bikes etc.  No warmer than jeans IME.

 

These days if I wanted warm, comfy pants .. I'd go for some of the polar fleece pants made for hunting - stoney creek, ridgeline etc.  H&F and Marine Deals are forever having specials on that stuff.

In the Land-Transport ad about drug-driving (the one with the upside down ute), why have they started blurring Dizzy's face?  They used to depict her eyes open, having a seizure, bleeding from the head.  Now her face is blurred.  I don't care either way, just curious.  It did seem odd that blood was running uphill. I see the ad on YT, if that makes any difference.

I don't think she was dead (seizing = alive?).  But it was somewhat graphic and quite impactful.

 

I also wondered if it might be because she looks slightly similar to the woman who died in a crash in Canterbury recently.
