TIGHTS VS. BIB TIGHTS
Both fight the cold. The difference is how they stay put—and how they treat your core.
TIGHTS
Easy to pull on and off, tights can be built with or without a chamois. They layer well over padded shorts, making them a go-to for commuting, indoor-to-outdoor transitions, or riders looking for value and simplicity. Best for: Shorter rides, mixed-use versatility, and those who prefer a strap-free fit.
BIB TIGHTS
Straps hold everything in place, removing waistband pressure and sealing the gap between jersey and tight. The result: more stability, better coverage, and lasting comfort on long or cold rides. Best for: Long distances, colder temps, and riders who want a locked-in, race-ready feel.
BEAD THE SRPAY.
These pieces blend PI Dry® water-shedding tech with softshell panels up front and breathable thermal backs, so spray beads off while your cadence stays steady. Ideal for rain, mist, and grit-heavy roads, they deliver warmth without the boil-over—quick-dry fleece regulates heat, and secure cuffs lock in the seal.
What matters: Water-shedding finishes (PI Dry®), quick-dry fleece, secure cuffs.
THERMAL THAT BREATHES.
Cool, not cruel. Your daily driver for ~34–55°F: brushed thermal that traps heat and moves sweat, with supportive chamois options for real miles. Pick these for commutes, base miles, and steady‑state sessions when breathability matters as much as warmth.
WINDPROOF WHERE IT COUNTS.
Deep‑winter defense. AmFIB® softshell shields the front from wind‑chill while fleece panels breathe out the back. Reach for this when temps dip below freezing or the wind has teeth—endurance days, base miles, and dark‑o’clock starts.
CHAMOIS OR NO CHAMOIS?
For long rides, a chamois matters. Our Levitate™ family reduces friction, cushions where it counts, and stays stable as the miles stack. But sometimes less is more—commutes, gym-to-ride transitions, or layering over your favorite short all call for a clean, no-chamois option. The choice comes down to distance, duration, and how you layer.
COMPLETE THE SYSTEM
Better than warm—controlled. Winter riding is all about managing heat, moisture, and wind. Start with a base to move sweat, add thermal insulation to hold heat, and finish with outer layers that block rain and bite. Pair your tights with the right top half and accessories, and the ride stays steady no matter the forecast.
ANY QUESTIONS?
Do I need bib tights or regular tights?
Bib tights stay put with straps, remove waistband pressure, and seal the gap between jersey and tight—making them ideal for longer rides and colder conditions. Regular tights are quicker to pull on/off, layer easily over padded shorts, and work well for commuting or mixed-use. Think distance and temperature: the longer and colder it gets, the more bibs make sense.
Should I choose tights with or without a chamois?
If you’re riding long miles, a built-in chamois adds critical comfort and stability. Our Levitate™ family is designed to reduce friction, cushion where needed, and stay steady as the ride wears on. No-chamois tights are better if you want to layer over padded shorts, use the same tight for commuting and the gym, or prefer flexibility in how you build your kit.
What temperature ranges are Thermal vs. AmFIB® tights designed for?
Thermal tights are your everyday cold-weather gear—best around 34–45°F, where warmth and breathability need to balance. AmFIB® tights add windproof softshell panels, making them the pick for sub-freezing rides, strong wind, or sleet. Intensity and layering matter too: harder efforts or more base layers shift the range.
How should winter tights fit?
They should feel supportive, not restrictive. Expect light compression through the legs, no sag at the knee, and straps that lie flat without digging. A proper fit disappears once you’re pedaling—no shifting, no bunching, just steady warmth and motion. If you’re between sizes, inseam length and strap comfort should guide the choice.
Are these tights water-resistant or waterproof?
Most winter tights are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Finishes like PI Dry® bead off road spray and light rain without affecting stretch or breathability. For full waterproofing, look to our WxB jackets and shells, but for legs, water-shedding tights are the sweet spot: they block grime and stay comfortable without trapping heat.
How do women’s bib tights handle bathroom breaks?
Select women’s bib tights feature drop-tail designs or smart-strap systems that make nature breaks quick and low-stress. That means no removing layers, gloves, or jackets—just ride-ready function designed for real-world stops. Check the product details to confirm if the feature is included.
How do I care for tights with special finishes like PI Dry® or AmFIB®?
Wash cold, use mild detergent, and skip fabric softeners—they can clog performance finishes. Hang dry whenever possible to protect stretch and the chamois. For water-repellent fabrics like PI Dry®, a low tumble-dry cycle can help reactivate the finish. Treated right, your tights will hold their weather protection and fit season after season.
