<p>That's just to make up for the many things that men can buy at a relatively low cost but women can't because fashion designers make them expensive for women. :-)</p>
<p>Seriously--not fleece lined, but I think Costco still has some men's merino/synthetic blend base layer pants and shirts for less than $20 each.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>JustWill said:…</cite></p>

<p>HUE has wool sweater tights that I like a lot. You can get them at Macy's, Carson's, Nordstrom and H&M has some sweater tights too, and sometimes norstrom's rack, filene's basement places will have some in stock.</p>
<p>Also if you want leg warmers to stay up, and be easy to remove, sew a button on the leg warmer at the top and then sew a button loop onto the inside of the pants you want to wear them under. then you can just unbottom them and remove instead of sitting/walking around…</p>

<p>I think that I've seen them at Nordstroms...both the full price store and Nordstroms Rack.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't really wear cycling specific clothes for anything except very long rides. I find that most active wear leggigngs keep me quite warm. Also, I find that regular tights work very well as insulation under regular pants...or they are really warm under fleece.</p>

They were plenty warm, though I did layer a pair of knee socks and then wool socks over my feet.</p>
