Padded Tights

[pda]

Hi

I am looking to buy some tights to wear under my shorts. I want ones that stop at the waist rather than the bib ones. Are there any that are better value than these.

DHB are good, but I've recently switched to Lusso for affordable but good quality cycling clothes.

These are cheaper. I use the bib version and their shorts and they are very good quality.

Also made in the UK.

+1 for Lusso although they are not padded. Personally I find it easier to wear padded shorts under non-padded tights.

True, forgot about that. The longs do have very little padding but if you need it then wear some shorts underneath.

Although for my 7 mile commute they are fine.

I like the padded ones, as its one less layer to wear.

I go the other way, padded shorts over unpadded Merston tights, and I'm phasing the padded shorts out over time....

Definately the way to go, shorts on the outside. It was good enough for Superman.

What size were you looking for? As ive got some brand new team discovery tights still with the tags on,never even touched that you can have if they are suitable for your needs.

I'm looking to buy some tights or trousers. Problem is I'm 36" waist and short 30" leg. All trousers and tights I've looked at are miles too long. Anyone know any that might fit a short fat bloke.

Short arsed fat blokes seem to be well catered for at Decathlon.

I'm not short, but I have a body/leg ratio like an ape and find their bib shorts to be fine, as are dhb. Avoid anything Italian, those clowns think 5'7 with a 32" waist is XL.

Thanks for that. I'm going up to Junction 28 Outlet at weekend so will call in at Decathlon.

I've just been to Sports Direct and bought some Karrimor padded tights. They are reduced from £39.99 to £12.99. I had seen them on the web-site but didn't think the shop would have them. They did and I was able to try them on to find right size. XL fits me. 36" waist 30" leg. They also seem good quality.
