Yes, waist tights are popular for indoor training in cold garages or rooms. They provide leg warmth without the bib strap complexity that is unnecessary when you are not in an aggressive road position. Many riders prefer waist tights for indoor training because they are easier to remove between sets or when warming up. Look for lighter-weight thermal tights without windproof panels, as you will generate significant heat during indoor training.
