Looking for some tights for the colder days as an alternative to 3/4 shorts and knee warmers. Any opinions?
I've got the endura thermolite bibs , used for the last 3 winters and their very warm .
Thermolite here, superb
another vote for thermolites, toasty!
What's the sizing like on the thermolites? I'm a medium normally for most things.
Another for the thermalites. Slightly big on sizing
I've got some Gore windstopper ones and some endura thermolite ones. When its really cold I always go for the Windstopper ones, although they're not waterproof the windstopper fabric does a pretty good job of keep water out too.
What's the Gore sizing like? Was advised to go up a size?
Thermalites FTW every time
Thermalites - slightly big sizing or ok?
Just got some thermalites, pretty pleased so far, size ok.
Got a few pairs of thermolites, happy with them. In my experience the back and leg lengths are quite short for the size which suits me, but I think you might struggle if your tall.
Not tall. 5'.10", 32" waist, medium build.
[u]Do you guys buy tights with a padded insert or not? Bought a pair of gore alp x in the sales and assumed they would have an insert,,which they don't. Wondering about sending them back, but they were a good price
I bought 2 pairs of the DHB Vaeon when they had them on offer for £65/2pairs
They are a little thinner than I'm used too so also bought a new pair of Thermolites with the Evans £20 off code.
Going to keep the DHB ones for Autumn/Spring
I used to use separate shorts but now buy them with a pad fitted, I prefer it as don't sweat as much
I can highly recommend Thermolite Pro Bibtights
I'm normally a large and they fit me spot on
Separate liner/ pad for me.
+1 for Endura Therolite bib-longs. I wear a full length set when its really cold & knee length ones when not quite so cold. I'm 6ft with a 34" waist & a L fits me nicely.
Pads are more comfy - but I have another set without pads (they were cheap!) which are ok as long as the ride is not too long.
I have some L endura tops but tend to wear XL in Gore tops...
Anyone else have to go a size up on Gore stuff?
+1 for Thermalites. Can't fault 'em!
I use themolites for about 50% of my years riding - great piece of kit.
Love Gore stuff but do find sizing is on the small size - or am I on the big size?
I actually went a size down in my Gore tights, normally a medium in most clothing but I've got a small in the Gore tights, mediums Gore tights were a bit long and a bit baggy on me.
got thermolites only had them since November and they're very warm. Only complaint is I think they have come up a bit short as the padding does not fit snugly in the nether-region. However the straps and everything are perfect, so it's a strange sizing issue.
Bought a pair of Endura Thermolites longs (i.e. tights, not bib) and really disappointed with them. The padding seems too far forward - feels like I riding with a cod-piece upfront and no protection for my arse cheeks !
Maybe they are intended for roadies and not MTB
Endura thermolites here
Dissapointed in the fact the logos all fell off with 6 months, where as my 10yo pair the replaces still proudly say "ENDURA"
Otherwise good.
