Quick version: it's not a good idea

One of my pairs of cycling tights wore out - I noticed a hole just above the knee - so since I was down to one pair after chucking them, I replaced them with these:

They're very nice for £7.13 (as I type) but a bit heavier than the ones I've replaced, which are very simple, thin material tights with an elasticated waist. These ones are more substantial with ankle zips and a tie waist.

I suppose though that they'll be a bit warmer, so I could save weight on overtrousers in less adverse conditions.

Well, I've just got some new cycling kit. Well, I haven't because Mrs S will be giving it to me for my birthday.

I like to be well dressed and it's a nice looking bit of Le Col kit, white top with a Cobalt Blue band and black bib shorts.

Le Col are the DFS of cycling kit, should have been £250 but they had 25% off and I'd earned a £50 voucher from some Strava challenge so it came in at £137.50. Still not cheap, but on the verge of being semi good value.
