The *right* trousers

Quoted message said:

Thanks for all the responses to my "trousers" thread. I risked 20 quid
on a couple of pairs of RH Tracksters (on the 19.99 for two pairs offer
at wheelbase.co.uk).

Did you get Tracksters or Bikesters? There's an important difference as far as
cycling goes..

Cheers, helen s

Tracksters are really, really good for cycling, Bikesters are a bit better.

Tracksters are in fact ok for cycling. Bikesters are merely a little bit
better.

Tracksters are okay, but they don't have the same higher back than front, to
help ensure a non-chilled back when cycling. I notice the difference *a lot*

It's a bit of a shock to see oneself in the mirror, wearing them for the
first time - but they sure are comfortable for cycling. Went for a 30km
blast around the lanes at lunchtime (cool but not cold, about 9'c) and
was very surprised how toasty warm my legs were.

So thanks again folks 🙂

Try skin tight lycra, even better than tracksters in my opinon and even
more outrageous

tracksters are just fine for cycling. Not as good as Roubaix Bib Longs
though.

I wonder if it's a body shape thing - I never really noticed a difference,
and I think we're fairly different shapes (well, judging by your posts
anyway!)

Tracksters, as they were the ones on offer - and at this stage it was
something of an experiment - if it works out, I can always "upgrade" to
Bikesters later on.

As the owner of a Huge [censored](tm) I'll probably appreciate the high back -
I did notice the Tracksters were becoming more Hipsters as the ride
wore on - but I didn't have to stop and hitch em up, so not too bad.

Bibtights are better.

Based on my limited experience, I can't imagine how it would be possible
to improve on roubaix bib longs.

Outrageous is not always good - I reserve the Bikesters for such occasions.

That sounds like the call for Bibtights. Duck!

I use braces to hold mine up. I also use braces to hold up my waist shorts.
