No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I bought some leggins for running, cycling, stretching... for winter (sale) and summer.

The summer ones have some translucent bits on the back side of both knees.

There are other summer leggings, completely closed from the same brand that I didn't buy because to me those bits are well placed to get rid of moisture, and are more expensive than the completely closed ones. Maybe the seller used my naivete to convince me to buy the ones with translucent bits?

So, fashion or function? because to me the completely closed ones are more fashionable.

The closed ones are cheaper than the ones with bits, so I assume the ones with bits are better

What does the description say? Some, like these, specifically mention mesh panels for temp. https://rockath.com/products/nrg-leggings-full

Based on things I own, cycling leggings and motorcycle pants both tend to have wind proof, water proof front panels and at least some breathable rear panels to allow for, as you mentioned, getting rid of moisture.

And last time I bought cycling shorts, basically the top part of leggings I suppose, the more expensive ones were made from more panels allowing them to fit and flex better.

It takes more time to cut and sew mesh panels into the leggings. Time and more labor. That could be a reason they're more expensive
