Riding the catrike the other day I could feel the belt loop of my trousers digging in to my back; I figured that tight would solve this problem (and potential bee flying up my trouser legs).
But which tights? I would only use these for laidbacks, so no need for padding.
Also, I would want something suitable for someone 6'+ but size 30 waist.
Any recommendations?

Cycle tights [thin and tall]
If I had a baby elephant, I would put it on a recumbent trike so that it would become invisible.

I use compression tights, like they use in gyms, with shorts over them for modesty. I bought a size or two bigger than usual because I didn't need lots of compression. In winter I use thermal tights like they use for skiing. They are just cheap ones that I got from Aldi.

I used to ride in Ron Hill Bikesters. They're comfortable and seam-free, and they stretch, but they look less like Professor Wallofsky than tights. Bikesters were the same as Tracksters except the waistline was raised slightly at the back, but they've now discontinued the Bikester name, and raised the waistline of the Tracksters instead.

Re: Cycle tights [thin and tall]
I have had the Bikesters recommended before - my concern was the foot loops and matching length to waist (My leg length i L or XL and my waist would be S). Good shout on the Aldi tights - though a google search of winter tights only gives me results for women's clothing for some reason...

Is OP after long or shorts? On my bent I ended up getting rowing shorts. Company recommended to me on the forum but a bit of grief getting them to fit (maybe I'm a strange shape, whatever) but company were 110% excellent, custom made after I pinned-up the bad fit pair (and all for the standard RRP of their standard off-the-shelf shorts). Very robust, comfortable.

Foot-loops on Tracksters a problem? easily solved with a pair of scissors!belgiangoth wrote: ↑22 Dec 2022, 4:59pm I have had the Bikesters recommended before - my concern was the foot loops and matching length to waist (My leg length i L or XL and my waist would be S).

Other than that, any running shop should have a selection of tights ranging from cheap as chips to cheap as, errr, lobster thermidor with caviar, where at least some should favour your build and dimensions.
