Santini is not a brand we see cropping up in the UK regularly and riders often seem to bypass this Italian stalwart in favour of more in-vogue brands. But once you slide yourself into something like these Fashion Vega bib tights you can see that Santini knows a thing or two about getting kit right.

The Santini Fashion Vega bib tight has got all the basics covered plus a little more heaped on the side. Let's talk about the most important things first; fit and comfort. The tight features the usual multi-panel construction but where it works really well is at the knee where a simple but well shaped panel aids knee movement. Often tights with a shaped knee can end up being a little too tight or loose on some riders but the Fashion Vega had a spot on fit with no issues even on long wet rides.
