Part of the cutting edge REV-1 racing range, the Pro Race Strong Bib Shorts offer a perfect balance of comfort, muscle support and of course the added protection from Dyneema®. Fluid and Supple Muscle Support In order to give you a smooth and fluid pedal stroke while at the time lightly compressing hard-working muscles, Ale deploys their Zaffiro material. This Lycra® Power material is used to gently squeeze and compresses muscles, encouraging blood flow and providing fatigue-busting support during pedalling. Multi-direction stretch also gives perfect motion and return while excellent abrasion resistance adds durability in saddle contact areas. Dyneema® Side Panels Whether racing or training, there’s always a chance you’ll pay a visit to the tarmac, which is where the Dyneema® side panels come into play. Stronger than steel at the same weight, it offers outstanding cut and abrasion resistance. In the event of a crash, this contributes to less likelihood of suffering ride-ending road rash and you won’t have a set of ruined shorts either. Lightweight and breathable, it’s a brilliant addition to these race-ready shorts. Y-Air Bib System With their Y-Air Bib System, Ale has increased rider comfort by lessening the contact area between straps and skin. With more skin open to the air, both breathability and ventilation are improved. Thanks to the Y-shaped back, the short’s stability and position are also maintained perfectly. Soft microfibre straps promote a feeling of lightweight comfort and freshness. Men's Velocity 8F seat pad Offering long-ride comfort on the saddle, the Men's Velocity 8F seat pad makes use of open-cell foam to add support just where you need it most. With a density of 100 g/m² and a maximum thickness of 12mm, you'll enjoy vibration absorption and easing of pressure at the saddle contact points. With perforations in the foam, this pad is significantly better at dealing with perspiration than a non-ventilated pad. It also allows for better airflow and quicker drying times, both keeping you feeling fresh and dry, no matter how many miles you're into your ride.
Cooler weather and speedy training rides often mean full winter tights can feel too warm and too cumbersome but with the 3/4 length of the Winter Bibknickers you have the ideal balance of insulation and breathability for all-day comfort. Thermo Garzato microfibre is used to deliver a high level of breathability so you don't get clammy as the pace ramps up and with it's DWR finish it also repels dirt and light rain for greater comfort in damp, changeable weather. The Ale 4HF seat pad offers luxurious comfort when you're legs are screaming with the effort of a tough training session. It's constructed from elastic micro-fibre with padding strategically positioned in the contact points and features a central relief channel to avoid stress on nerve endings. For the best comfort and support high-density 8mm deep 90 kg/cm2 padding is used where it's most needed in the ischiadic and perineal zones. This pad gives the very best combination of comfort, wicking, breathability and is also incredibly fast drying to ensure the utmost support on the saddle.
As temperatures fall away to single digits and you can see you're breath in the air, that's the time to pull on the Women's Graphics PRR Fiori Bib Tights. The SuperRoubaix fabric has an internal surface brushed to create loft and generate an insulating layer of air pockets to keep the cold outside. And not just that it's highly breathable, a vital characteristic so you don't get chills from sweat build-up. Light compression also supports the muscles when you're pedalling. The upper bib section is made with Eyelet carbon. This advanced perforated fabric is extremely breathable and features carbon yarns.

Worn on their own or paired with knee or leg warmers, the Clima Winter Bibshorts can see you comfortable through a wide range of riding conditions in winter as well as through the seasons of spring and autumn. Thanks to the Windtex Pro membrane, heat-stealing cold winds can't get through to your legs and the external water-repellent treatment increases your comfort when light rain or showers appear. While warmth is kept inside, sweat is able to escape easily, so when you're putting in hard efforts and hitting tough climbs you're not left feeling cold and clammy at the end. Men's 8HF seat pad Inside the shorts you'll find Ale's exemplary “8HF” pad - this utilises an elastic microfibre with memory padding, strategically positioned at the saddle contact points for maximum comfort. In the perineal and ischiatic area, the higher density padding ensures optimal support against bumps and vibrations. Elsewhere, the central relief channel is designed to protect the nerve endings while the lateral-shaped wings are flexible to follow the body for complete support and comfort when pedalling, ideal for even the longest of winter base mile rides.
Riding in changeable weather is difficult to dress for, where you want to be protected from the elements but still need excellent breathability to prevent overheating when the weather improves. Rather than use a water/wind resistant membrane for the PR-S Bullet Winter DWR Jersey, Ale has used a cosy microfibre fabric with an all-over water-resistant finish. This fends off light rain and provides medium insulation but there's no sacrifice to breathability thanks to excellent air exchange. When pushing hard you won't get drenched in sweat leaving you dry and comfortable as you ease the pace. The 'Racing Fit' keeps drag to a minimum, saving energy during your training rides. Speaking of energy, the rear pockets keep your energy bars and gels within easy reach while also making space for spares and a rain jacket or vest. A silicone waist hem and J-Stability System provide a flush fit with your winter tights/shorts and reflective logos keep you visible during evening training rides.
