Specialized Element 1.5 Wndstp Cycling Bib Tight 2017

When the time comes to start braving the cold & get riding, nothing compares to the total body comfort of a quality pair of bib tights. & leading the field this winter, you’ll find our Element 1.5 WINDSTOPPER® Bib Tights.

To start, they’re made from one of the most venerable materials in the business—Gore® WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell. As its name suggests, this material is extremely wind- & water-resistant. But what its name doesn’t tell you is that it’s also highly efficient at wicking moisture away from the skin, while also remaining soft against the skin & quite breathable.

The fabric also possesses the perfect amount of stretch, which complements the articulated cycling cut of the bib tights. Essentially, this all adds up to a complete freedom of movement throughout the motions of cycling, which equates to the elimination of any rubbing, pinching, or chafing. & to further protect against the elements, we gave these tights an ankle gaiter that interfaces seamlessly with shoe covers to seal out the cold.

To keep the comfort, these tights come equipped with our Body Geometry Winter Chamois, which features a variable density construction that places just the right amount of support & padding where your body needs it—not where it doesn’t. Additionally, the chamois has a brushed face, which is ideal for winter riding, as it provides a touch of added warmth & moisture management.
