My knees getting really cold when riding out of city. Tempreature is about 5 deg C.
Which trousers offer cold protection and looking casual? What about kevlar jeans? Can you recomend something? Thanks.

i wear trousers and they have thermal lining.

The termoscud things work for people who wear normal clothes undernearth but trousers i would say give you warmth and more importantly protection.

Any good trousers with an inner lining should keep you warm enough.

I wear snowboarding / skiing pants over my normal pants... Er, trousers. Same thing.

Anyways, if I could get one cheap, I'd use a thermoscud. They're much better for keeping you warm than pants.

Thermoscud everytime

that way you can wear normal trousers and not look like Mr.Biker every time you want to get off.

I commute long distance everyday so protection is important in the crazy city. If you fall, that cover won't protect you at all, if you get proper bike trousers then your Covered, in the summer you can risk it I guess.

I still use my biker gear, will be getting more casual looking gear during Christmas but trousers for me, don't need to fiddle with the cover

I tuck my trolleys into my socks then put on my Hein Gericke Boost pants.

Thermal liners due to be put back in, the temperature has gone south.

But the thermoscud makes the PCX look a bit like it is trying to be a pantomime baddy

Hein Gericke Pathan Lobster claws do the job well enough for me in even the coldest of Scottish weather

So which trousers would you recomend for winter? Casual look and warm.
Here are offer from german shop http://tinyurl.com/cp3tajb
Which would you choose? Remember. It's 2-8 deg Celsius in Poland now. Now I use skiing trousers, but they're not warm enough.

Not sure as I too am on the look out but it must come with thermal lining. Maybe some goretex stuff

i wear long underwear, whatever normal pants i want, and Aerostich Darien goretex overpants. works for me.

i was considering trying a Termoscud but was concerned that the rain might run down my jacket inside the termoscud and get me wet. comments from Termoscud users please?
