right, wore the longs home, bit nippy and steady turning to heavy drizzle
the Descente XLs are a lot bigger then the dhb XLs, just small enough all over and at least an inch if not two too long in the leg, christ knows what sort of freak they think is an XL in Canada
much lower cut above the waist which bodes well for summer, thin mesh straps
material very light, no brush finish of any kind, after the dhb tights they felt rather racy and skimpy, liked the blue a lot though, bright and bold, shocking clash with the PI Star Trek security top though
the Phantom pad was interesting, it felt bulky to walk in, perhaps because the tights weren't so erm ... tight but it did, once in the saddle feel very thin indeed although it was certainly there and doing the job so good I guess other than feeling a bit dodgy walking in
think that's it, hopefully them and the 3/4s will be good fun later in the year, perhaps a cheeky 40 degree wash to make them a tad smaller
