Serious protection from the wind and cold for backcountry epics and campfire legends. Four-way stretch Hot Shot Lycra tights with WindFoil fleece covering your knees - and if you get caught out in the wet, they dry quickly once you make your destination. Daddy Long Legs are designed for maximum on-the-go versatility. They have no padded seat so you can pull them on over your shorts or whip them off if it gets too hot.

What's the difference between the Daddy Long Legs and Snake Bites?
>
Both are made from four-way stretch Hot Shot 4-way stretch nylon with a brushed inner for winter warmth and a tightly woven, hardwearing outer. It dries quickly and is blended with 13% Lycra to stretch and move with your body.
>
The Daddy Long Legs are a layering garment that you wear over your lycra shorts. The legs have a WindFoil fleece front to protect your knees from biting wind and a fleece panel around your kidneys to keep 'em toasty. The calf zips allow you to whip them off over your cycle shoes when the going gets hot.
>
Snake Bites are two garments in one... a pair of Hot Shot Lycra thermal tights coupled with a Heatwave Merino vest.
>
Snake Bites have our Softail pad for all day riding comfort. But you lose the versatility of the Daddy Long Legs than can be added or removed at your will - providing slightly less absolute performance but greater versatility.
>
The Daddy Long Legs are also available in an XS size - which roughly equates to a women's small.
Washing Instructions?
>
WindFoil and micro-fleece garments enjoy a warm machine wash. Try to avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach. The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation. Bleach and fabric softeners may attack the WindFoil laminate. As a rule of thumb, product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Plant based soaps like 'Ecover' or specific sport wash formula are recommended.
>
Be sure not to wash with socks, fluffy towels or flannelette sheets. Lint clings to the fleece and your top will suddenly look very old.
>
Wash inside-out to resist pilling.
>
Line dry if possible - a warm (not hot) cycle in the dryer if you must.
