Further adventures in the search for pants-oids you can wear in the Northwest...Limax, van8xr, check it out.
This morning I rode when it was about 35-40 degrees outside.Colder than usual for around here and foggy, but no rain at all. I wore the plain old unlined PI legwarmers under my knickers, also the unlined PI kind. This worked well. I planned to take off the legwarmers if they got too warm, but they didn't. I suspect that when the weather goes back to normal, they will come off as the day goes on. But they come off easy without public indecency and are easy to stow. This is a little inelegant because the warmers bunch up a bit, but it wasn't uncomfortable and they didn't just fall down, which is what they do under shorts.
The warmers and knickers have a pretty tight weave even thoug they have no lining. The thermafleece tights that PI makes are soft and warm but honestly the weave on the outer layer seems really open. What I used today was really good wind protection, which was what I wanted. So...bottom of the line product worked great!
I'm going to try this on the next rainy day...which is no doubt in our future! I get really cold in the unlined PI stuff once it gets wet--- the drawback so far-- when it's 45-55, which is more normal.. Maybe having the leg warmers on underneath will help? I'll let you know..
