    I might be interested. How warm are these?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I am unsure how to compare them since last winter was the first time that I've needed this kind of thing. I would ride in temps that were higher than, say, 23-25 - and would wear these and they were perfectly fine for those temps.

    If there was a strong wind then I added leg warmers to get my lower legs covered, but I never felt like my legs were cold. The bottom of the tights hit me about mid-lower calf which was why I was always debating the need for additional leg warmers.

    Does this help?

    I've been told that I am 'leggy' - according to the fitting sheet from my first LBS I have an inseam of 78cm. I am 5' 3.5"

    They sound a might short for me. I guess I'll pass. Good luck.

    Thanks for checking though. I do remember being surprised that they didn't go down a little further, just another 2 inches would have been great.

    These are knickers, not tights after all. I am shorter so they come well below the knee for me, but do look like the image in the provided link. PI doesn't seem to have a link for these particular knickers. Sorry for any confusion!
