The Rapha Pro Team bib tights are designed for winter and everything it can throw at you.

During a recent visit to Italy I found myself riding through snow with the temperature hovering around zero and these tights shrugged off the worst of the chill.

The fit of these tights is for all-day comfort with a sensibly thought-out mix of water-resistant panels and thinner materials around the back of the legs and torso to regulate temperature.

When walking around the pad feels quite ‘nappy-like’ but fits well and delivers superbly when in an aggressive riding position.
>>> Buyer’s guide to bib tights

The tights never felt uncomfortable in use and there were no annoying seams as on some other pairs we tested.

The only niggles were that the ankles had a tendency to ride up due to lack of gripper, and despite having ‘low light’ white stripes across the calves there is no nighttime reflectivity.

Verdict

With classic Rapha styling the Pro Team Winter tights are a good choice for winter riding when the mercury starts dropping. With a cut that felt comfortable whether cruising or going hard the tights performed well. Just a few small niggles stopped these from becoming one of the favourites of the test
