If 50s is getting hot, then I'm sure they'll be fine for upcoming winter rides. I wouldn't be wearing chamois winter tights anytime I'd consider taking them off anyway. Thanks

Maybe I'm a weird one in that I don't like my ankles completely covered. I want the grippers to stay in place just above the ankle bones. I already get a little bunching in the calves and stretching at the bottom hem from that when I have more heel-down ankle flexion on a hilly ride. Strange from someone used to exercising in stiff leather riding boots, I know.
