Solano Tight - Men's

Everything about the Louis Garneau Solano Tight screams cold-weather versatility. It blends elemental resistance in the front with breathable insulation the rear, omits the bibs so it doesn't hamper layering, and leaves out the chamois so you can run your preferred summer shorts. The material blend isn't as overbearingly stifling as LG's full wind- and waterproof models, and the omission of the chamois means you can also use the Solano while indulging in some Nordic cross training.


Supra WindDry is the headline material here, as its membrane construction is highly water-resistant and windproof, which means that your legs lead into the winter elements with all the protection they need to stay comfortable and keep spinning. Unlike the Providence model, the Solano's weatherproof construction only protects the front and lower back; the rest of the tights are made from LG's thermal HeatMaxx material. HeatMaxx doesn't protect against the elements, but its soft, brushed inner face insulates and breathes well, letting your microclimate self-regulate where the more protective Providence can be a bit too warm, unless the temperature and conditions are extreme.


That blend of materials recommends the Solano for base miles in the damp chill of late winter and early spring. That's the time of year when braving the elements is the most daunting but the payoff in form come April and May is worth it. The inclusion of articulated knees also literally adds to the Solano's flexibility, and elastic draw string a the waist helps ensure an uncompromising fit. LG finishes the Solano with reflective details to help maintain visibility during the short, often overcast days the tights are built for.

Have had these for a couple years now. Keeps me warm enough on cold rides. They don't have to be as heavy and warm as a top, since the legs don't get as cold. And they've held up well, good quality.

I had a Craft tight that was probably more ski related however I used for cycling but got a hole so here I am. In the Chicagoland area we get a lot of temps in the upper 30s to low 40s f. Winter thermals are too much heavy artillery and simple spandex leaves you cold. These fit the bill. I've worn them a couple of times in the upper 30s-low 40s and they are pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. Yes they do have the thermal panels that can make for an overly warm ride when the peloton pushes the speed if it's in the mid to upper 40s. What I really like about them: 1) they are biking tights so the rear comes up a little higher; and 2) they do NOT have a chamois. I wear a summer kit underneath with chamois which means I get multiple wears of this piece of clothing without having to wash after every single use. I'm 5'9"; 162 lbs and the medium fit just right.

I don't write a lot of reviews but when I've tested something in severe conditions or it's performed above and beyond I always want to get the word out. First, these fit snug. Don't expect much extra space. That being said, they weren't constricting in the least. I'm 5'7", 140, with 30" inseam and ordered a small. I wore these for the first time in an 85 mile gravel race that started at about 27 degrees F. It snowed and rained for 4 straight hours then only warmed up to about the low 40s for the finish. While not waterproof, they kept me completely warm the whole day. By the end I was covered in mud from the waist down in front and obviously up the back. They never felt too heavy, and there were zero issues with hotspots or chafing anywhere. I wore them over a pair of summer bibs. Maybe a zipper on the bottom might have been nice, but you'll hear no complaints from me on these pants. They seem super durable and you could wear them even in significantly colder temps so long as it was drier than the experience I had with them.
