Just a quick ramble:
The best things I've done since screwing my knees up six years ago is: Wearing Crane leg warmers from Aldi with my cycling shorts in the warm weather, and wearing Gore thermal bib tights through the winter.
The knees are doing great and benefiting from being warm and supported. In fact they're only really ratty when I'm not riding!
The shorts and the leg warmers are getting a bit long in the tooth so I'm looking for summer kit now.
I'm on a mountain bike and doing 90% of my riding on trails.
So what do I do:
Get new shorts and leg warmers?
Go for 3/4 bibs? - Gore Element may look weird with Sealskinz socks on warm wet days.
Try and find summer bib tights?
I'll never ride with knees uncovered again, but I don't want to roast as I do in the Gore bibs when the sun peeks out.
I know this was asked by someone back in 2009 so I'm wondering if anything has changed.
Any opinions gratefully accepted.
