Hmmm... I have not heard of these recovery tights that you speak of. I'm off to ask my second brain about them (aka: the internet)...
Sounds like something that might come in handy for my week long cross state bike ride this summer.

I love my Skins recovery tights. They really take the ache out of your legs post ride.
I too am interested in the cycling gear- especially the chamois. However they are always packaged up in sealed boxes and I haven't been that keen to open a box up yet. They are really expensive ($270NZ) which is up to Assos pricing so someone please let us know how good they are.
Also is anyone else annoyed at how easy the screenrpinting peels off the legs?

Hi - Thanks - I will look into the 2XU's. And no, when the advertising peels off, I am happy. No need to be their walking billboard. As long as it peels off nicely, and not raggedy. Will have to try peeling mine! Tokie

Oooh, I like the design of the female bibs. It's like a tank top attached to the bottoms.

Here's a vote for the TED tights, or stockings as my BF calls them. He runs in them, wears them at work, around the house. Its a little ballerino, but oh well.
TOTAL bonus, they run about $30 at the pharmacy whereas the Skins etc are way way way more expensive.

My boyfriend George just got a pair of Skins cycling bib longs. His first ride in them was a century in the Santa Monica Mountains about a week ago, and then he wore them on the 600km brevet (372 miles) on Saturday/Sunday. He was impressed after the century and subsequently SHOCKED that the chamois held up for 27 hours of straight riding on the 600km. He actually said he's gotten more chafed on shorter rides in his Assos...and he's a die hard Assos lover.
Whatever they've done, they've done it right.
He reviewed them on his blog about a week ago http://epictrain.blogspot.com/ and that was before the 600km. I expect another rave on there soon.
