Well your kinda crossing threads here. ROTS guards wear an underrobe where as Crimson Empire Guards would wear Armor and Bodysuit.

I scored some red/burgandy compression gear from Eastbay.com. That way I don't bare any leg when a wind blows up my robes ;)

My robes have yet to blow open to any extent which would expose my legs (I guess that's the good thing about having only one arm opening) in 3+ years of trooping. The only time I've ever worn long pants was an outdoor troop in late December when the weather was below freezing. Honestly I've never been more comfortable! I REALLY like the idea of the compression pants though. I'll got black ones which would work if I have another windy outdoor experience. Indoor or hot weather troops...I go with boxers.

I am still completing mine, however have been borrowing a friends. I notmally wear shorts and a single as I get so hot. A couple times I have been close to showing leg, but thinking I will alter the inner robe on mine slightly so it sits better and that doesn't happen

I find the best solution is under armour. Wicks moisture and heat away from the body and prevents people from seeing leg or arm is the robes ride up or get blown or moved by curious onlookers.

Eastbay make a good compression suit for either warm or cold weather (I'd go with the warm weather version for sure) and it's way cheaper than Under Armor. They often have sales going on (if there isn't one when you're looking, wait a week or two and it'll show up) for buy one get one free so you can get a full suit for $20 give or take.

may sound a bit odd, but try wearing a pair of black tights under your robes. you won't show leg and they're cool when it's warm and warm when it's cool. Ă‚ÂŁ2 per pair from most supermarkets, they're a cheap alternative.
There are two possible options:
Either we're alone in this Universe, or we're not.
Both are equally frightening!!
