Santini BeHot bib tights review

The stand-out feature of these tights is the BeHot fabric that is said to generate heat when stretched.

In use the material felt very warm but quite stiff and restrictive when pedalling. The other feature of this material is that it combines a water-resistant coating to allow for a wider range of weather conditions.

I found these longs tight, so sized up as I barely fitted in large despite normally being a medium.

The tights have a very supportive feel, especially around the legs, and have a very active cut to suit a riding position.

The Twist Gel chamois insert felt supportive, with padding in the right places for longer rides, and no bunching.

The bibs and torso come up very high but fortunately there is a zip to aid comfort; however, as the material is the same as the legs, the area felt a touch tight when breathing hard.
