tights/trousers

[ASDA]

Hi boys and girls, just wondering what type of leggings to get, to keep my legs warm suffer from hamstring problems. Will be wearing them year round unless we get a hot hot summer ( wont hold me breath on that one). Any input will be greatly recieved.

cheers Ian

I use karrimor ones which were £12 from Sports Direct. I'm sure the more serious cyclist would recommend something a bit more technical. All I can tell you about the Karrimor is they have a padded arse, keep your legs toasty, but do have a tendency for a draft in the top of the arse region.

It all depends on your riding requirements.
Go cheap if you just pootle and want to get from a to b for work and not bothered more than that
if you are riding with more desire to get fitter and ride a little stronger then bib tights full length or 3/4 length is best considered in the colder months. Note the word bib however.
Shorts are best for the summer temps.
There is a huge variety out there... ranging from bad to good to best..
if you are minted then Assos will always be near top of the list

Ron Hill Bikesters with padded shorts have done me fine for years.

why not buy compression tights as they would be far better than ordinary tights as they increase blood flow and decrease fatigue etc.
