Padded Tights?

[SheFly]

Indy - have you looked at bib tights? In the winter, I wear shorts with a chamois under a bib tight. This reduces the middle bulk, helps to keep my back warm, ensures my jersey isn't leaving my back exposed, and is incredibly comfortable. It's a bit of a PITA if you have to pee, but I usually don't have to go when I am out riding.

Just a thought.

Shorter inseam, no leg zips, LOVE the chamois (I know this is a very personal thing, but this one is a fave of mine) and the fabric is nice and warm. Also LOVE the Hugg Fit Waist - no pressure from too tight elastic.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, Susan, and to everyone else for their suggestions. The LG tight was one I definitely had my eye on. I'll have to direct DH to it (it's my xmas present). That's a nice price point for the tight, too.

That's the same chamois that comes with the Neo Power shorts. I can't comment on the tights but I agree that the chamois is very nice.
