I want some just below the knee , can you guys recommend some?
and do full length help stop your shoes from filling up with water?
cheers
3/4 dhb - you'd be mad not to try.
can't really wear my boots with em though...just seems wrong
Normal bibs and leg warmers is what I use, and I think you can get knee warmers that would end just under the knee.
It was what I was told by roadies when I first started riding - that full length bibs were wrong in some way. Not sure exactly how, but I'm pretty happy with the bibs / leg warmers combination.
I just bought some of those DHB 3/4 lengths, probably the best item of clothing I've bought so far.
any links for cheep DHB's ?
I think they're from Wiggle only Geoff, but if you click through via [url= http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/tcbunited ]TopCashBack[/url] - there's a 4% effective discount if it helps... 😉
In proper winter I'm going for full lenght - had 3/4 last winter, and got frustrated with the gap, plus a lot of full length are thicker and/or windproof, so much warmer. If you ain't going ot when it's really really cold, you'll be happy with 3/4s. IMO 🙂
I ride throughout winter with 3/4's and goretex overshoes. I don't really feel the cold luckily, but it's Endura Thermolite 3/4 bibs - they also do a full length set, which are a little bit heavier with a fleecy backing.
Also use shorts and Endura Knee warmers if it comes to it.
Getting your feet wet is inevitable anyway, dependant on the amount of water being thrown at them but a least over shoes can delay that for quite a while.
I ordered some of [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/dhb_Pace_Roubaix_3~4_Bib_Tight_with_Pad_2011/5360052532/ ]these[/url] yesterday.
If you want warm ones for winter then buy Roubaix one but be warned, they can get very warm as they are fleece lined.
I was out today wearing some on my Road Bike and I was border line.
I use bib shorts and supplement with leg warmers or unpadded lycra running leggings over top as temp requires. Greater versatility.
Just imagine..........A full length bib with the lower part waterproof, like gaiters, over the top of your goretex boots.
Endura, are you listening?
