Do the inside elastic grips on bib shorts around the thighs still grip to leg warmers as I assume they overlap?
Wanted: Cube Streamer/Agree GTC Compact / Pro/ Race : 53cm

    most leg warmers have grippy areas at the top inside and outside, so they grip both leg and shorts

    shorts go *over* the leg warmers

    Yeah they grip fine, as above the leg warmers have grippers to (usually, I don't think Assos ones do?) which are high up on your leg and the bibs go over the top and their grippers stay snug on the leg warmers

    Thanks I wasn't sure how the bib short grips onto the leg warmers if its Lycra material

    Ah right. I was looking at Assos they have a size 2(?) in their outlet website for circa £20.

    Then seen some on eBay new size 1 for sub £30.
    Ideally need some bib shorts first

    yes you'll look a bit of tool in y-fronts and leg warmers - although it didn't stop The Kids from Fame :wink:
