Windproof bib tights
« on: December 17, 2007, 09:04:56 pm »
I just wanted to recommend some "longs" now that the temperature seems to be dropping.  I have finally found some comfortable, warm, excellent fitting longs. They are Gore Proteam Action III Bib Tights. They're certainly not cheap (£100 ish), but compared to previous purchases they rock.

I first used Ronhill tights of some description, and found these were rather loose fitting and not at all warm.  I then tried Specialized leg warmers - rather like thick stockings.  These didn't fit my legs in the slightest - I'd put them on, and within seconds they'd be flapping round my ankles again, making me look like an extra from Fame.  ;D

So, there you go.  If you're struggling to find effective leg warming gear, I can highly recommend bib tights, and especially Gore ones.

DHB Bib Tights (Merston) are £35 from Wiggle and get superb reviews.

I just tried my first pair and they seem great.

I second the use of Bib Tights in Winter (3/4 bibs in spring/autum and bib shorts in summer).

I have DHB examples of all of these and they are tremendous value
