    I have DHB full length tights. I'm 6ft exactly and have a 32 inch waist. I have them in a large and they have been fantastic for the last two winters. I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Castelli Gregarios are at 66 quid from wiggle at the moment, if you can stretch to them. I've found them to be excellent tights.

    Seconding DHB tights, but I am also 6 foot tall and L is a bit small for me - it's a real stretch over the shoulders. I bought some 3/4 length tights in XL and they fit perfectly (33 inch waist, 34 inch inside leg).

    I couldn't Assos tights either, so I just got some unpadded tights and wore some decent shorts underneath.

    If you don't mind Santinis (used by pro teams) they are down to 39.95 over at Prendas.co.uk.

    I love them! :lol:

    My solution also, using LUSSO tights (made in UK) and at prices less than £40 for the various models. I cannot comment on durability yet.
