I already have two pairs of tights (one cycling specific, the others generic athletic) and multiple pairs of snow pants that are baggy.
The tights should be fine for most of my cold weather riding, but when it get's really cold I was planning on just throwing some of my snow pants on. Is there a clever method to keep them out of my chain? I was thinking about something like a gaitor that would wrap around the leg to keep it tight but not sure if there's an easier/better method.
To the OP, I hope this isn't too far off topic.
I use reflective velcro straps. They work OK - the problem then lies in the bunched up/flared up bottom of the pant around my shoe. The biggest enemy are long shoelaces on some of my commuter shoes. I've snagged them twice on the cog despite always trying to tuck them in!

Ha, I know the feeling. All of my falls were while clipped in & stationary. Bending or turning to do something and then losing balance.
