Please understand, this is not to implicate you, in that I don't think Deut 22:5 is being interpreted entirely appropriately either... I do feel the pants skirts interpretation has merit, but I think there is more to it than simply that, there are deeper implications. And I also think there may be some exception to the pants/skirts interpretation (for those who tend to be more traditional) that do not violate the principle of Deut 22:5... for instance, ski-pants, pajama pants, workout pants, etc....
I think pants/skirts is a good interpretation, but it is not an absolute rule, that's all I am trying to say. That's what is going on in my mind anyway. Thanks!

Yes I will wear PJ's. I haven't been snow skiing in years, and have never worn the bibs, but IF I ever go again, I probably would. It is just more approirate for what you are doing.
I have given my interpretation already on
Deut 22:5, which in a nutshell, is that that scripture is talking about gender changes. IF you will note it is to men AND women. Why? Because it is against gays, dressing as the opposite sex that they are. That is MY opinion.
But modesty is still the issue no matter what you wear, IMO.
