Do such things exist? All seems to be short at the front. I used to have a pair that came up to just under your breastbone and preferred that.

My thermal dhb ones are properly high at the front to keep the wind out. Got a zip to allow access.0

My Assos ones are quite high with a zip. However it’s still a Quasimodo impression to have a wee.0

Yeah used to have an Assos Roubaix pair which were probably what Webboo has, very high front with zip. Excellent.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0

+1 for this. I have a pair of Lusso overtights which are high at the front with a zip for peeing, but they don't make this model any longer, they all are low at the front now. I like the extra layer of insulation which is really useful on those long and cold winter rides. I guess you could just wear an extra layer for the same effect though. maybe a thick thermal vest?0

A friend of mine, an ex pro, just wears ladies tights under his shorts.

Wouldn’t have thought there was much warmth from fishnets… 🙂webboo said:

They work like string vests the gaps trap the air and that gets warm.Wheelspinner said:

Thanks for the suggestions! Have tights without chamois all but gone now too?"A cyclist has nothing to lose but his chain"

Surely fishnets have an aero advantage! Avoiding boundary layer separation and all that. Probably better if the fishnet follows a honeycomb pattern... but then I'd have a hard time keeping the carbon nanotube jokes for myself.0

Seem to be the exception and not so common anymore. Not in their interest I guess, as could last a very long time!shockedsoshocked said:Thanks for the suggestions! Have tights without chamois all but gone now too?

I think all of Lussos bibtights can be ordered without a padshockedsoshocked said:Thanks for the suggestions! Have tights without chamois all but gone now too?

I am a big fan of Lusso stuff but if you want a high waist I would not recommend them. Despite my age ,when I look in the mirror in most of my cycling gear I smile and almost fancy myself. The lycra smooths out the bit of excess I have around my middle but the Lusso bib tights push the excess to the low cut front and I have a fat gut that I don't otherwise have.0
