These bib tights are marketed as a warm layer for winter rides, and in this respect they are very good. The fleece lining is a welcome addition that kept our legs warm on the colder first days of the New Year and the outer fabric kept the worst of the wind out. What’s more, this outer fabric also has some water repellence, which kept road spray and light rain at bay.
