No they are like the Ron Hills with a warm lining for winter and they come up a bit further than the ron hills so you dont have your arse hanging out, they are my favorite to wear in winter.

Go into a bike shop and ask if you can try them on.

+ 1 for the winter cruisers, they also do a thinner one, summer cruisers.

I have a couple of pairs of the bikesters and I would not recommend wearing them in low temp's, the wind cuts straight through them and they are terrible when it rains.

I started off with bikesters then moved to the Altura Summer and Winter cruisers, in low temps I would wear long johns under the bikesters, with the winter cruisers it has to be well below freezing to need the long johns.

Yep, the winter cruisers are miles better than the bikesters, more especially in winter.

+1 for the Winter Cruisers. Plenty of room under them for padded shorts if you want them on too.

I know everyone one is different but you must like to be very warm

I only dig out the bikesters if it gets to subzero temps , otherwise i use a pair of lycra running tights over my shorts as i find them warm enough once i get going .Last winter i got did fine with bikesters and leg warmers when we had the temps of - 10 or lower .Only down side to the bikesters is they do not keep my lower back as warm as i like due to my bike set up.If i had the money then i would be lookign at some bib tights .

Currently i use these as they are nearly as thick as bikesters and come up higher on my back , cheap as well...

One of the strange side effects of having a chest full of stents is feeling the cold more than you did before they were fitted. You sound very hot blooded, just like I used to be, but as you said we are all different.
