Why do you need cycling tights?

Cycling tights are a good choice for warmth in early fall or spring mornings, but they’re essential in the dead of winter. When the weather reaches 50℉ or below, it’s time to pull out the cycling tights. Cycling tights are winter kit essentials because they’re the best option for protection from water, wind, and sweat–all at the same time. When you’re cold, your muscles stiffen and cycling becomes more difficult. Cycling tights regulate your body temperature and prevent your muscles from stiffening. Most tights will either be made from water-resistant fabric or coated in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) so water rolls off you rather than soaking in and chilling you to the core.
