All shorts or longs should have a brown area in the seat to allow for the inevitable bad

All gloves should have 'tear-off' snot-removing patches pre-installed!

anyone know anywhere that sells these? I've checked most of the bigger online cycling retailers

There is, AIUI, at least one good reason for black. It doesn't show stains and sweaty patches

But you can get cycling shorts in all sorts of colours and designs so why not longs? Either Assos or
Castelli used to do a denim jeans print set of longs but they were only really summer weight.

Assos do bibtights which have about 50% red on them, or yellow, or blue. You could try Assos
stockists (if your wallet can stand
it), parker-international.co.ukparker-international.co.ukOpen ↗ have some red Assos Airblock bibtights in their special
offer section.

I agree completely but... and here's the clincher... I would be less likely to be hit by a truck!
Actaully I want a change from black anyway, I use mudguards so don't get the stripe up the back but
visibility is fairly important to me too.

hmm, 80 or 113 quid, nah, much too expensive at that price- silly really.
