Tights over or under riding shorts?
The vast majority of riders that I see when it's cold wear their tights
underneath their riding shorts. I almost always wear my tight over my riding shorts for one simple reason: if I get too warm during or after the ride, I can easily slip them off. Try that with your tights on under your shorts! I can't think of any good reason to put the tights on under the shorts, except for those who wear shorts for a team and with to display their colors. Any thoughts? |

Are you sure you haven't just seen people with legwarmers. I've never seen anybody with tights under the shorts but a pair of legwarmers may look like that. -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |

Yeah, I'm sure. I know the difference between legwarmers and tights. I use
both myself. "Per Elmsäter" wrote in message ... GS wrote: The vast majority of riders that I see when it's cold wear their tights underneath their riding shorts.

I can't think of any good reason to put the tights on under the shorts, Almost 100% of the riders I see (including me) wear tights over shorts (I'm guessing they have shorts under, I do). I've never removed my tights while riding, if the weather is marginal for tights, I'll wear leg warmers. |

I've seen both ways and both seem to have their pluses and minuses. If you wear them under the shorts the crotch doesn't catch on the nose of the saddle (though I was going to say on the nose of brian trdina didn't you?) and hop you forward like a sling shot when you sit down after standing up a hill. If you wear them over the shorts you don't have to wash them every time you use them. |

Put the chamois against your skin, and the tights on the outside. I can't think of any good reason to put the tights on under the shorts, except for those who wear shorts for a team and with to display their colors. Used to be, old wool tights had poor elastic and were badly cut, and would fall down unless held up by your shorts. Really. But most of those tights should be full of moth-holes by now. -- David L.

Modern tights are the best excuse to throw away those annoying legwarmers. They never have, and never will, stay up where they belong. We used to safety-pin them to the shorts to get them to stay put. RPITA. Tights are so much better. I have a selection of weights to work for any range of temperature when I can't wear shorts alone. -- David L.

I've never had any problems with those, nor their armwarmers. -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |
