Review of 2008 model:
I have always felt the best tights are the ones that are barely noticeable when you ride, and the dhb Merston tights are some of the best examples of these I have ever used.
It is the Thermo-Stretched, fleece-backed Lycra that is mainly responsible for the success as it allows great freedom of movement, but is still really well insulated. Plenty of panelling is also a contributing factor to the ease of movement, and is particularly noticeable over the knees, where it is double-thickness but articulated in such a way as to cause no restriction or tension. In fact, considering the budget price of these tights, the amount of attention to detail is nothing short of amazing.
A CoolMax, silver lined antibacterial chamois insert, ankle zips and reflective detailing are all there too.
In conclusion...
I would rather buy two or three pairs of these this winter than a single pair of something more expensive.
