Windproof Tights?

[cosmicbike]

Ever since my leg issues, I've really struggled on cold days to get my thigh muscles warmed up and as a result find the first few miles quite uncomfortable. I find myself pushing quite hard to warm up, which limits my ability to do longer rides at a lower pace.
I normally wear roubaix longs at this time of year, and was thinking of either leg warmers over the top, or some windproof tights (like the Dub Vaeon Zero).

Anyone got any recommendations, or other options?
Thanks

I have some gore ones with wind stopper. They are awful, they don't fit, they are uncomfortable and they rustle! Avoid!

Just a though .... try warming up on a turbo to get the legs/body warm before hand

I have the vaeon zero's
I love them. Haven't had the choice to test them in really cold weather yet but it was pretty chilly yesterday and I felt nowt.
Why not try a pair of shorts over the tights?

I do have a turbo, but no space at the moment. Nice idea though.

Not tights but I have been using Ron hill tracksters over padded shorts and find the combination cheap and very effective.

Similar problem ... swing a cat springs to mind

I have two pairs of Louis Garneau bib longs and my legs don't really get cold.
I'm sure there are plenty of good ones out there though. But they work for me.

I have a pair of Gore windstopper tights and a pair of Aldi's winter tights bought for half price recently (£7). Both do the job but I prefer the Aldi's tights due to the fact they don't feel as restrictive as the Gore pair. Though when it's really minus temperatures that may be when the difference will show.

What about thermal long johns underneath your longs?

I have the Impsport bibbed longs, if anything they can be to warm, but I still like them.

My mate @toptom has the DHB ones and really rates them. I have the Rapha deep winter tights and they keep me really warm

I use Deep Heat cream before a cold ride out. Plus my Bib longs works for me.
Used to get sore knees in the winter but no more..

I have Giant tights and wear shorts over the top and with the temps last year a -4 deg C here in China they kept the legs warm. However if it was raining and they got wet it could be not so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gore WindStopper Soft Shell tights do the job for me. Comfy and protective
