Winter, shorts over or under tights?

[Pat "5mph"]

Winter cruisers over tights. Extra padding too when you have an off like I did this morning

For me it's unpadded tights (Karrimor) over padded shorts. That way I can pack the tights into my rucksack if it's warmer than expected.

Padded 3/4 and long socks for 50f and above, otherwise trousers, with the option of a layer of fleece underneath below 32 f. I also have insulated ski pants for below freezing.

This winter if its really cold it will be padded boxers (decathlon) under my thermals and tights on top. Need to get some more tights really, would bib tights be warmer?

I had my fleecy DHB tights on yesterday and my knees were still cold. 2 degrees. My feet were freezing, some overshoes might sort it all out.

I go for leg warmers under bib shorts. The winter weight bib longs come out when we get to minus conditions.

They maybe wearing leg warmers not tights. I normally use thickish? leggings with a padded crotch and double thickness material on the front of the knees held up by a pair of regular elastic braces, if its very cold I also wear super thick women's tights (60\80? dernier) underneath..

Canterbury trackie bottoms

 

[Cuchilo]

Woolen willie warmer , padded tights and shorts over the top .

I have the Endura Stealth and Stealth Lite.

Their outer windproof / water resistant layer would be negated by shorts on top

If you use team shorts, surely it depends on how well the team is doing?

If they are doing well outside and wear with pride and if losing wear on the inside with shame
