Bike Apparel Reviews

Craft is known for making a variety of baselayers to be worn in all weather conditions. The Gore WS Long Underpants are designed for windy days with temperatures below 60 degrees. I wore these on my morning ride to work in windy, 39-degree weather and felt warm. They're meant to be worn under another layer, but I found them remarkably warm and impenetrable by wind even without a top layer. I also wore them under cycling pants and realized the weather would have to get a lot colder before I do that again. Thanks to the Pro Zero moisture transfer system my skin didn't feel sweaty, but by the time I got to the office, I was pretty heated up.

In my experience, some heavy winter tights can be tight and stiff, but the Pro Zero material is silky soft and comfortable against the skin. Note: these tights might be a little more roomy than what you're used to. They appear slightly loose around the legs and the Gore Wind Stop panel.
