Scooterza Posted August 27, 2021 Share Hey there, I bought a pair of Pearl Izumi ELITE Escape AmFIB Bib Tights. These are windproof & water resistant tights that are made of quite a firm-feeling fabric and lined for cold/wet weather riding. They feel more like outdoor mountain wear trousers than the typical lycra feel I am used to with cycling shorts. Since I was on the cusp in terms of size, I bought a medium & large to try out. The mediums fit well around the lower leg & knees, but feel a bit tight around my thighs. I can put them on no problem - I'm just aware that my thighs feel like they're surrounded with a sleeve if you get my meaning. The large pair feel fine around the thighs, but the knees and lower legs are a little baggy. Both pairs are fine in the hips and chamois area. I have zero experience with these "tougher" cold weather bib tights and don't want to regret my purchase. I SUSPECT the medium pair will give a bit with use and a wash or two so that would be perfect then. What do you sage folk think? Get the mediums? ????
