Probably the ideal choice for the majority of your winter cycling, the Velocissimo 5 Bib Tights mixes functional fabrics to fend off cooler temperatures and panels that resist damp roads. Most of the tight are made in Castelli’s Thermoflex fabric. This may not be their warmest fabric, but in cool weather, it’s ideal to take a chill off while offering fantastic stretch and a soft feel against the skin. When you don’t need a deep winter tight it’s ideal. From just below the knee, you’ll find Nano-flex deployed. This stretch-woven fabric, with a fleece back, is both warm and offers water-repellent performance to keep road spray off. The high level of stretch ensures a smooth fit and the raw ankle edge, without zippers, keeps the fit firm and streamlined but still easy to pull on and off. Meanwhile, the mesh bib section upper maintains excellent sweat management. KISS Air² Seat Pad The KISS Air² seat pad has been designed specifically for male riders, providing high-performance comfort across all conditions. Next to the skin, a super-soft stretch microfibre offers brilliant comfort. And with seamless construction, chafing and abrasion are all but eliminated. Next, infinitely variable thickness padding offers outstanding support. Maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter.
