Serious protection from the wind and cold for backcountry epics and campfire legends. Four-way stretch Nylon Lycra tights with fleece insulation at your knees and kidneys to care for those critical zones. And if you get caught out in the wet, they dry quickly once you make your destination. Daddy Long Legs are designed for maximum on-the-go versatility. They have no padded seat so you can pull them on over your shorts or whip them off if it gets too hot.

Strengths: Because they have no padded seat they don't take long to dry. You only need one pair of these and two or three pairs of padded shorts for daily winter riding.
Weaknesses: None.
Bottom Line:
These things are great. The shin and knee padding keeps the wind out and those vunerable parts warm. The extra layer of reasonably heavy lycra elsewhere provides sufficient warmth for winter.
