need Tights / Bibs for Winter...

[fossyant]

Not sure if Decathlon are still doing them, but that have bibs with A-Tex windproofing in them - I use these when it gets down to zero. There is a pad, but it's thin and not shorts quality, so still use my shorts under.

Decathlon - not cheap though !!! Ouch - I paid about £40

Those have the good pads in them I think.

Looks like it. Mine are over 6 years old though !!

Cheers - you in a large?

[edit]would you say they are good enough for a few degrees south of zero?

Mine are a large but they are pretty stretchy. The roubaix material seems good down to about freezing I wear bib shorts with them as well, but they don't have windstop panels so on a really cold day I would tend to wear ( yes @potsy I know) Aldi ones or the Biemme ones I had on on Saturday both of which have windstop panels around the knees and are just that bit better in really cold weather.

I wear my Altura Winter cruiser tights when it's cold, very warm with a fleecy feel to them.
Only trouble is they are waistband and not bib tights, quite fancy a pair of bibs next time.

Might buy this combination then sell the shorts.

Thoughts?

Buy and keep both, then use the shorts with leg warmers on days when the weather isn't a dead certain?

Think I will look for ones with windstop then.

I've too much cycle clothing & I know they would be wasted.

3 pairs of running tights. Decathlon £20 jobbies fine down to about 5 deg. Got bib shorts for weekend. No need for 2 pairs of shorts for weekend / occasional use.

Got loads of stuff for the commute.

I'm really after some longs that will be good for 5 deg down to -5.

Scrap that - comments suggest good for autumn but not good enough down to low single figures.

Can't help with the cold weather clothing at the <£60 budget, I paid a handsome sum for my winter 3/4 and tights (rated 0-15 degrees), well worth it IMO and they are very warm but it is mostly an extravagance (I bought them when something good happened financially speaking - not a lottery win ) and there are likely cheaper tights out there that will perform at least nearly as well if not as well, I just don't know of them.
