When it's time to build your aerobic base and slowly increase your winter miles despite the colder temperatures and frequent rain showers, you’ll want the superb warmth and comfort of the Free Aero RC Bib Tights to keep you company. The majority of the tights are composed of Castelli’s 3rd generation Nano Flex material. Nano Flex 3G is brushed-backed to offer luxurious warmth and with excellent stretch, it won’t restrict a fluid pedal stroke either. Not only that, but it’s also highly breathable to prevent cold sweat build-up and does a good job of blocking much of the wind. Lastly, it also features a nano-technology water-repellent finish, brushing off damp and drizzly weather conditions. To the lower part of the legs, you’ll find lighter Nano Flex stretch woven fabric. This is lightly brushed on the inside, trapping body heat. But excellent breathability prevents you from overheating. And it’s great at shrugging off spray from the road thanks to its nanotechnology water-repellent finish. Simplicity and functionality are key features of the rest of the tights. Minimalist bib straps will soon disappear from your mind while raw-cut ankle ends removes the need for zippers while still keeping a firm fit and working well with overshoes. Men’s Progetto X² Air Seamless Donna Seat Pad The pro-level Progetto X² Air Seamless seat pad utilises ventilating perforations to keep you cooler and drier on endurance road rides.

The seat pad is constructed in 3-layer components, each dedicated to a specific purpose to create the most comfortable seat pad available.

It's the Nano Flex 3G fabric used that makes the Women's Tutto Nano Bib tight such a capable performer in all types of weather and riding conditions. When the clouds burst and rain begins to fall then, and here comes the tech, the nanotechnology microfilament mechanical water repellent finish combined with a short-chain chemical DWR finish prevents water from seeping in, maintaining your comfort for longer. Reduced seams also enhance protection and the thermal performance keeps cold out and warmth in. Elsewhere, the mesh bib straps keep airflow to the body optimised, helping regulate temperature and prevent clamminess as you build up body warmth.
