I'm trying to buy some 3/4s for my wife- I brought home a set from Decathlon yesterday but she didn't like them because they weren't roubaix fabric. Having looked through all the 3/4s below £70 on CRC none of them mention if they are roubaix or not.

She's not willing to spend too much as they won't get used regularly.

We were looking at these, since I have a CRC order to go in anyway.

I've also found these, which seem like an alright deal. I think it's fairly safe to assume these are roubaix. They work out almost a tenner more with postage though.

Any other suggestions for decent cheapish 3/4 tights?

Flatboy- answers from CRC can take up to 48 hours (I have asked but need to order now to make sure they're here in time for a trip on the early May bank holiday).

Fasthaggis- I know working in a bikeshop automatically makes me superhuman (it certainly has for cynic-al 😉 ) but even I can't make out the fleece lining on a picture of the outside of some tights!

Soobalias- I'll expect an e-mail from the lawyers shortly.

Not sure why but "coolmax" suggests to me that they are likely not roubaix
