I have always believed it was only me that suffered from this, so it pleasing that it is not. My modest collection purchased from our friends at PUL, consists of t-shirts, two sauna suits and a number of pairs of trousers TR04/05 and my fav SU10 black shiny overalls, which sadly are now showing signs of wear & tear and along with a couple of cagoules and couple of pairs of comfort pants TR21. There is another issue I have found that no matter what I do the TR04/TR21 trousers fill with trapped air, no sooner do i release it by pulling the waist band, they very quickly look like two long party balloons, which is I feel not a great look for outdoors, this occurs whether the trousers are tucked into wellies or not. Any suggestions, anyone?
I have had TR04 and the trousers with the sauna suit are very similar. Never had a problem with trapped air even when the ankles were fully elasticated in either pair. I do like my clothing very slightly on the small size - not tight as such, just maybe one size smaller than other people might prefer. That might prevent air build up. When I sit down I do get some air trapped at front which is easily smoothed down. I love that feeling that you get when you stand up and the material sucks to you just for a moment. For me the best feeling is when moving because when you stop you may know, see and even smell the material on your skin but you can’t actually feel it.

Hi Cherie,
Thank you for your response, you are correct when you sit, air does get trapped, I smooth it out, move again and the air is back, I too love the feeling of the material being stuck briefly, I did purchase a bigger size of these garments as I am personally not keen on "tight" clothing, it may also be my choice in materials, I am a shiny yellow & black materials fan, which has a slightly sticky feel to it. It has been suggested that I put unscented talc over the inside of the garments, not sure about that but I will give a try. I know this issue is not a major but it does look a bit odd if I was to wear these garments out & about
