When shopping for tights or leggings, you will be faced with the dilemma of whether to purchase a padded tight or an unpadded tight. Especially if you are involved in cycling and high intense sporting activities. Majority of the tights that are for cyclists tend to be padded and offer a customized padding for the winter season which offers maximum comfort to riders when taking long winter rides. The unpadded is also another option that one can consider since you can even wear the unpadded tights with sporting shorts that are padded. Also, you can wear them for many days. They are ideal for preventing any form of infecting bacteria building inside your seat pad in case you use the legging for more than a single ride. This is very common, especially when using padded tights they cannot be used in consecutive rides.
