Light weight and flexible

I wear long pants during the cold months. I would prefer these to be a little warmer, but they are so flexible and comfortable. These are good for temps above 40, but I have been ok with them in the low 30's. Easier to get on compared to my other tights. Fabric and workmanship is excellent.

Thank you for your feedback.

These are awesome.

I use them under my bike shorts in cold weather. They fit well and they keep me warm.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great fit and value

These tights are terrific. I am a 35 waist but a 31 in-seam and BTD suggested a Medium and it is perfect. They stay put and there is no interference with my knees. I ride a LWB recumbent so do not need padding.

Thank you for your feedback.

great fitting tight best in 45 degree and up weather

I use this tight over my bike shorts. Advertised as a cold weather tight with insulation, I found this to be untrue, and best use in 45 degree weather. No insulating properties with this tight.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent procuct and a great value

I use these for cooler weather riding, they're not insulated or lined so they're not really great for cold weather unless you use a base layer underneath. But they meet the needs for what I purchased them for.

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm a little on the chunky side and these pants fit great unlike most bike pants are way too tight these ones did the trick.

Thank you for your feedback.

For those colder days.

I always wear it fore those colder days. Fits just right , not too tight or too loose. The reflective pieces are also nice. Yes I would buy these tights again. I wear them under my normal shorts.

Thank you for your feedback.

Quality tights for cool weather riding

I bought these for cool weather FallSpring rides. They have been just right for me for temps down to the low 40's, really comfortable, and the stretch is just right. The stretchy mesh around the knees works really well. I really like the reflective accents which make me more visible at night. I am a slender 6'-0 with a 32 waist and normally wear a medium, but Garneau's size chart lists a small for 32. I tried them but they were too tight, so I opted for a medium which was just right. They really work well over a regular pair of bike shorts. I have ridden about 500 miles in them and they show no signs of wear in the seat area, so they seem like a very good piece of gear.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tights to keep the cold at bay

I purchased these tights to keep the cold at bay and they live up to challenge. Ive used them in the mid to upper 30s and didnt feel miserable. They seem to have good durability and the reflective accents are a bonus. They do run a little tight, Im 58 with 30 inch waist and ordered a small. The length is perfect but they are on the edge where Id almost go with a medium.

Thank you for your feedback.
