What do you wear when it’s cold but not too cold? Back in the day I’d have used my Ron Hills. Now I’m using my 20 year old Smelly Hellies under normal MTB short and liner but they’re coming to the end of their natural life.

My finest Giant Haystacks fancy dress costume

Hair?

It’s either shorts or bib tights for me.

3/4 length shorts all year round. Whatever the weather. 🙂

Sports Direct will sell you Ron Hills if that’s what you want Or any number of running tights for about a tenner.

Or you could go all fancy pants and get longs from Endura or a millions other cycle clothing companies TBH

What would Leroy from Fame do?

An impromptu dance probably.

I have something of a sliding scale, mainly because I’m a sad git who likes excuses to buy more kit. In order of coldest to warmest:
Winter bibs with knee warmers underneath – This is a rare combo, worn once at -10
Winter bibs
3/4 unpadded Roubaix tights, normal bibs underneath – This may be the answer you’re looking for.
Heavy bibs with knee warmers underneath
Heavy bibs
Summer bibs

To actually answer your question, try some 3/4 Roubaix bibs (with baggy’s over the top if you so desire), they are a good option for cool but not really cold conditions.

My vote goes for this, too. Although I don’t use baggys over the top.

I always wanted some non roubaix bib tights with a pad.But no one seemed to do them.Just use bib shorts and leg warmers now.

^^^ works for me. Has to be freakishly cold to force me to don underleggings

Decathlon used to do these, I have a pair in fact, though they appear to have disappeared from their website. May be worth popping in.
