I was so happy that RedWhite created these; it is just what I have been looking for to mitigate harmful sun exposure. I go through tons of sunblock on exposed skin, and this is the perfect solution for the legs at least. I've never been happy with any of the 'leggings' from any makers, they always slip down and I spend all my training time hiking them back up. What's more, they are usually in white, so they get really ratty looking after a short time.
I've tested these now under various conditions and they are totally comfortable in all but the hottest weather. Above about 32 degrees (C) they seem a bit 'warm', but anything would be, even some of the sun-shielding products that claim to be 'cooling'.. However, up to that point, they are as if riding with bare skin, and I have used these happily in 35deg sunny conditions too. I would have preferred them to be a wee bit longer - they come about 4 inches (10cm) below the knee - I'd prefer if they were mid-calf. But they stay there - the grippers are terrific and they do not ride up with pedaling. So I wear long-ish socks and then fill the remaining few inches of calf with sunscreen. The main thing is that the thighs are protected from radiation.! I am convinced that these do a much better job at sun-shielding than even the best sunscreen product can. I don't know of any other manufacturer producing something like this; most 3/4 tights are too hot to use in summer.
As for the design and manufacture, they are equal to all of RW's bibs - simply superb ! Workmanship and materials are top-notch and the chamois does its job admirably. It is the same pad that is in the normal stealth bibs and it does what it's supposed to do: moisture management. For those who are looking for 'cushioning' from the pad, it is also generous, but not in any way obtrusive. The pad may feel a bit 'ample' when first walking around, but on the bike it virtually disappears, never binds, pinches nor bunches, even on the narrowest of saddles, and even after long workouts, there is never any discomfort from the pad or the bibs in any way.
In short, I am absolutely happy with these for the purpose of sun shielding and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a longer-length bib designed for warm/hot summer cycling.
Thank you, Yuva !! N.K.
BTW, I have been happily riding with several products from RW: stealth bibs, as well as thermal shorts and the marvelous winter bib tight. All are superb. They are far superior to anything in this price range, and in most ways comparable in function to any of the 'elite' makers, without the astronomical pricing.
