    We have never had a problem shopping for the long tights with chamois in...

    We shop usually on line, or by catalogue...

    In the shorts with chamois page/sections... there are almost always choices of...
    - normal length shorts,
    - below knee/calf length long-shorts and;
    - the full down-to-the-ankle length pants
    ... all with chamois

    If you are going into a bike shop, ask - they may not stock out of season stuff, and may have to order in for you.


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    We had a whole discussion around tights with chamois a while back.

    You can also buy tights without chamois and wear them over bike shorts. That's what I do; then I don't have to wash them after every ride and can thus get away with just two pairs (one old, one new).

    Me too. Except I have scads of plain old exercise/running tights from when I was doing alot of power walking in the cold. I just pull a pair (or two) over the bike shorts - no specialty purchase needed.
