    Anyone got any experience of these? They’re sort of naff looking but I’m kinda drawn to it too!

    Oh Jesus. Hopefully it comes with eye bleach.

    Just no. Assos tights and a nice soft shell jacket.

    Assos tights seem fairly pricey. Worth it?

    er no, get separates. washing would be a pain and you can’t layer depending on temperature

    Ooh that’s just nasty. And its mega expensive. Is it April 1st?

    You’d need to extremely confident to wear those. Sexy boy!

    I would’ve thought that once you were on the bike nobody would notice that it is a one piece.

    It doesn’t look like a skinsuit, evidently it’s lightweight but very warm. Don’t have one but I know somebody who does. They like it a lot.

    The problem with it is practical rather than aesthetic. If I go out in the winter with tights over shorts and a jacket over a base layer, I can wash the base layer and the shorts and use the tights and jacket again. This is a one use one wash garment, and isn’t as practical as seperate items.

    It’s a bit weekend warrior…

    Having said that, Castelli are a pretty cool company in terms of innovation, so each to their own.

    IMO yes. I recently replaced my old Roubaix rights because they’d worn through on the arse. Took about 7 years of near constant use, road and MTB. Lusso or Endura ones looked worse after 2 years and didn’t fit as well or keep me as warm.

    That said I know Castelli stuff has a good rep, but there’s a line…
