[Closed] Castelli winter body suit thingie.

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?

Onesies for cyclists?

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.

Assos tights seem fairly pricey. Worth it?

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...
