😯

OK, I suppose I may start down that road by painting it onto some bibshorts, to see if that keeps the cold wind off the "gents" sufficiently but I suspect the more permanent solution (that surely many of you have taken on already) is the way forward in the longer term

so, initially then, has anyone ever coated their lycra* with anything similar, and did it work ?

it's the winter bibshorts I'm going to paint

(I don't want full windproofing as the rest of me's usually toasty, so just the small (tiny after a long ride 🙁 ) bit up front

1. Slice some red chili peppers,
2. Rub them into your hands,
3. Scratch your nads vigourously,

= warm for hours. Fact.

What a bizarre thread.

What about a dollop of tallow, works for the sheep.

Surely if it's too cold for your knackers then it's time for bib longs or 3/4s? When it's really cold I wear bib longs with no pad and bib shorts with a pad underneath, provides enough of a barrier.

not really; my knees and shins are warm enough already (I even have some roubaix-ish shorts).

Assos know the score, even if their stated reason is surely some sort of weird euphemism - and their price is 😯 :

BlasenSchutz (bladderProtection) ASSOS first incorporated this feature with the s5 winter tights (2010). The frontpanel between the crotch area and the abdomen features ASSOS Stratagon win-dblock fabric. This ensures your bladder is not exposed to chill winds, which reducesthe need to urinate while riding.

Yes do it, it's a common secret trick in the pro peloton.

What do you think was in that mystery team sky package?
