Introduction to Tights - Cycle

Many riders concentrate on keeping their torso’s and extremities protected from the chill effects of winter weather, but legs, the pistons of your cycling engine need protection too. Specific cycling tights are the answer, but the options available are so wide that it can be hard to work out exactly how much to spend, the level of technical specification, and also the cut. Many riders opt for a ‘bib’ shape - with integrated braces, though many, particularly female riders, choose non-bib shaped for the inevitable cold weather loo stops. Consider padded or plain models - padded models feature the same sorts of anatomical multi density pads that are found in modern cycling shorts - while unpadded versions are handy if you simply want to add a second insulating layer over a padded cycling short. There are full length with plain or zipped ankle cuffs, or stirrups and even or ¾ ’knicker’ lengths. Material weights and construction vary with tights ranging from thin sheer Lycra to super thick brushed back ‘Roubaix’ for every level of winter weather, there are also windproof and even waterproof specific models with enough protection to keep you rolling while others are stuck inside waiting for spring. Wiggle offers a wide range of winter tights to suit all tastes and pocket depths. Take a look at the models on offer from Wiggle.

Entry level:

Entry level tights are usually stripped down, no frills versions of their more expensive brethren. Be on the look out for options with an without internal pad (remember pads are not removable - that is if you want a tight to run in as well as ride) Some may have stirrups and occasionally some reflective flashes.

Intermediate:

For every extra ten pounds you spend on your winter tights, you can expect more fabric technology, an approach to blending form and function that comes with investment. Look for technical wind and or waterproof materials, more ergonomic ‘cycling specific cuts, anatomical and anti microbial pads, silicone ankle grippers, reflective flashes, integrated gel pockets on the rear of the bib section.

Performance:

High performance bib tights will make racing or training a pleasure whatever the weather. Ergonomically, performance tights generally feature a greater level of pre shaping to make them’ work’ more effectively through the pedalling action. Material are the best possible with higher weather beating performance, lighter weight and more flexibility than cheaper versions.
