Winter tights

[Rob W]

Can anyone suggest any winter tights to keep warm.I know Assos would be nice but you need a small mortgage for them.So any ideas on something a bit more reasonable and comfortable.

I bought a nice pair of Pearl Izumi a few years back and they're the only pair of tights wot I ever bought. Came in around £50 and been worn hundreds of times. Mmmm, pearly Izumi-y.

I have Gore. Usually about £60-70 rrp or £40-ish in sales. warm enough.

Endura or Lusso - Lusso being UK based and inexpensive for what it offers.

if you can afford it I suggest buying one of each of the four recommmended brands - wear 'em all at once and whoop de doo - even Santa wouldn't feel the cold through that lot

dhb from Wiggle, Merston are the roubaix ones. Very comfy and excellent value. The 3/4s are also very good, grab both for a superb deal at the moment including the "spend over £50 and get a better deal" deal.

I picked up some dhb 'Merston' bib tights on special at Wiggle a couple of months back and have been very happy with them; very well featured and fantastic value for money at something like £30. They're a bit more expensive now at £40, but still blow away just about anything else under £60 for warmth and features. Available in padded or unpadded versions.

No no no, don't get dhb Merston bib tights, they're cursed.
I started this week wearing a brand new pair, and by Tuesday morning I was sliding along the ground in them

[Andrew G]

They're for cycling in Jon, not slippery enough for sliding down roads in.

Trust you are okay, not got any big fingers.

Instead of buying tights, just use your comfortable bib-shorts with a pair of leg warmers. No mortgage required.

I always use tights and 3/4s as I don't get on with the leg grippers on my thighs on knee/leg warmers. The dhb Earnley 3/4s are non-roubaix and just like normal shorts but with longer legs and I get on much better with these.

As a motorcyclist I used to wear my Wife's tights, besides being warm they are silky smooth against your skin. Mmmm
