“First 20 miles of the year with them under workout leggings yesterday. I’m a Fair weather cyclist so expensive winter leggings are a bit of a waste. Hope to wear them for gadding about town under ordinary shorts in the summer too.
Yesterday’s outing a success though think maybe a tadge more padding further up at the front would make them perfect (for me at least!)”
“CAN I HAVE WINGS PLEASE?
Bought 2 pairs of these to wear under regular clothing for lockdown in France again this time. During the first lockdown this year, it seemed to be frowned upon wearing sport cycling gear, on a road bike and at times we had verbal abuse. So this time I was going to be prepared, just looking like a cycling shopper with baguette sticking out of the backpack for the one hour exercise limit a day. The knickers are excellent, good fabric, good chamois, supportive, great fit for me (67.5kg, 168 cm and 70 yrs old)as I am generally a size 14.
However, I agree with one of the other reviewers that it would be nice to have the extra inch on the front of the chamois, but for me the discomfort comes in the under leg seam. It irritates by the end of my hour and hence the reason I ask about wings to cover this area or maybe laser cut leg edges.
They are a bit expensive, but if this problem were solved, then I would feel the price was worth it. The idea is certainly brilliant and I will look forward to using them on a standard holiday bike, which has a more upright position, especially when stopping for that informal unplanned picturesque village lunch and you still look summer fresh and smart.”
