    Heh, Windstopper over junk = good (or so I hear).  Over thighs = bad.

      ...and no, it really doesn't. C'mon Nads. 

       

      CW-X thermals for the sub-0 days up here. Worth every penny.

       

      Wow that link reads like it was written by Dr. Sheldon Cooper. They actually registered a domain for that...awesome. I'm sure they locked up iamapedanticdouchebag.com as well Wink

       

      I know it's done in a joking way, but they are serious about BTQ abuse, LOL

        Does anyone like Windstopper fabric?  I hate the stuff...sure, it's warm, but It doesn't stretch, 

         

         

        Are you sure that you're not just rationalizing your desire to flaunt your bod?

          Maybe if I actually had something to flaunt. *sigh*

            Does anyone like Windstopper fabric?  I hate the stuff...sure, it's warm, but It doesn't stretch, which requires going up at least 1 full size, then they are too baggy on top to stay up without cinching the waist drawstring really tight to keep them from pulling down.  I've had at least 3 different brands of tights for running or cycling (NB, PI, Gore) with Windstopper front panels and they ALL do this.

             

            Totally not worth the $$.  Sugoi SubZero tights are, though.

             

            I just got some of those Sugoi tights a few days ago and my first run in them was yesterday. Wow, they are amazing! Ran 8 in them again tonight in single digit temps and once again they did not disappoint. Totally worth the $100. And if they last years and years like my other tights have, even better!

              Maybe if I actually had something to flaunt. *sigh*

               

              Oh, I don't know about that. From your profile pic, I'd say you're doing okay.  Blush

                I love the underwear with the wind stopper panel in the front, covering my junk. Hell yeah.

                +1.  Covering my junk, I mean.  Although I'm sure they're breathtaking covering mikeymike's, too.

                  Eh...still got 20#s too much junk in my trunk (and arms, and chins, and gut). Undecided

                    CW-X thermals for the sub-0 days up here. Worth every penny.

                    This^. When it drops below 27 I get my thermals out. I also like there shorts.

                      I have lived in New England all my life, and am a total wimp in the cold though... when it dips below 40 I bust out the tights... when its below freezing I go with insulated tights, usually Mizuno Breath Thermos or CWX Insulator
