I'd just like to know what you guys would consider the temperature ratings of the following 3 pairs of tights.


MEC Venturi Tights (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=12699&bmUID=1028637733492)


Louis Garneau 1 (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=195823&bmUID=1028637733495)

Louis Garneau 2 (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=12911&bmUID=1028637733496)

Cheers

Hi I would have to say based on the weight of the tights.Temp ratings are hard to figure everyone is diffrent.I use 200 weight e.m.s. tights to -0 F.Just a guess I would say the Lousi Garneau at 330 grams is the wamest,next the MEC tights and last the Lousi Garneau at 215 grams.

I'll wear my normal-weight lycra tights [about the same weight as bike shorts down to 5C). I'll wear polypropylene tights down to about -5C [maybe lower if there's no wind]. When it gets really cold, I wear two pairs of tights -- a sligtly oversized lycra over polypropylene. I don't normally ride below -10C.

This has got to be one of the latest reply threads ever, my original message was in early August! Thanks for the advice though.
