HI, Random Question...

I like to wear my waterproof tights cuz they are warm waterproof and great on long rides but want some knee pads, as well...is having the pads over the tights stupid?!

Cheers!

    I have a mate that bought a really nice MTB-specific jacket, and on it's first outing out at Cwmcarn, had an 'off' and because he wore his pads *under* the jacket now has one sleeve like a colander.

    The pro's wear their pads under their clothing because the clothing means nothing to them. If they shred them, they get given more.

    Do what works for you. But, me, I wear my pads (RaceFace) over my outer layers.

    Pads under tights would be amusing to see! :lol:

    MTFU and wear shorts and no pads! :joke:

    If you want to wear pads and you want to wear tights, then pads OVER tights is the only way to go. You could always wear some 3/4 shorts over the top if you're worried about the look.
