Plenty of shocking lycra available on eBay.

That's what a friend said.

I've never looked.

Or bought any.

Allegedly.

still got a pair of old stone monkey tights in the back of my drawer - ready for the day when I get good enough to wear 'em again!

A "friend of mine" bought some leggings from primark last year with a tiger on them. One eye of each leg. They're pretty cool and actually really comfortable. Or so I've heard...

Be afraid...........be very afraid. I noticed well honed Spanish dudes wearing lycra in Mallorca this autumn.

I dunno, I was with a group of woman in a pub when a young male Lycra clad cyclist strolled up to the bar, the Lycra look seemed to be going down rather well with the women ( of all ages) and all previous conversations were dropped, to discuss the merits of Lycra)

I don't know about lycra but this is what I climb in (both wall and outdoors in the summer). It's definitely 80's inspired awesomeness! Sooo many colours...

Depends how old the Lycra clad chap was.

Take it the guy wasn't a Mamil ,or worse ,really old (over50).

Some friends and I bought some awful gaudy (women's) leggings from H&M to wear for a UV party at craggy island once..

As someone else mentioned, try Primark as well.

In both cases these will be more cottony street wear ones rather than sporting lycra, but for just a comp, who cares.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something suitably atrocious..

My friend wants to know what size your friend wears, because they are unsure as to how his waist size equates to a female size number!

My friend says he was a 32" waist, 32" inside leg and a big bum and bought a size 16. It was a bit of a tight fit for me. I mean him.
