[RBW] Aussie tights? Alternatives?
Has anyone (male) used the Aussie tights ( http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ab4.htm) over regular underwear? Are they decent or are they unstructured and thin enough that they require hip-latitude corsetry like bike shorts underneath? I did once order a pair of the earlier Rivendell wool tights and found them just too much like longjohns to satisfy. I'd like to find some long leg'd riding pants that are not too tight but that are snugger and warmer than the MUSA pants and that don't require a sub-garment foundation. I presently have a pair of very nice Bell Weather wind tights that I can wear over my usual boxers -- they are thick enough that they don't look like a second skin. No wind shell type pants, please -- must be woven and breathable but thick enough for riding down to freezing temperatures. Years ago, at least in Britain, they'd make cycling trousers with tapered and zippered legs, but the only ones I've seen -- Rick Risemberg's design sold by someone in SF and Raphas, for example -- are not cut right (for me) at the rear of the waist -- too low and loose enough to allow wind turbulence and discomfort. And Rapha's are not pegged. So loose tights seem a good alternative. -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I like the Sport Hill XC pant; I'm pretty sure Peter White sells them.

RE: [RBW] Aussie tights? Alternatives?
Patrick: I ride in them 3-4 days/wk, usually with the Australian wool boxers under them (sometimes with a Rapha liner instead). I think they're decent, and I don't think they're like long johns (if I understand what you mean by that). They feel like fairly thick (definitely opaque, and quite warm even in the 20s), fairly tight (tight enough so they don't bunch up, but loose enough to be easy to just pull on) tights. Plenty of coverage -- they pull up quite high in back. I like them a lot. But I'm no fashion plate, that's for sure.
