FAQs
Are these tights windproof?
While the Roubaix fabric is excellent at retaining heat, they are designed as thermal tights rather than fully windproof shells.
Can I wear underwear under these bibs?
No, it is highly recommended to wear these without underwear to prevent friction and allow the chamois to manage moisture effectively.
What is the best temperature range for these?
They are best suited for temperatures ranging from 0 to 10 degrees Celsius.
Is the chamois suitable for long-distance rides?
Yes, the antibacterial pad is designed to provide support and comfort for medium to long-duration training sessions.
Do the reflective details wash off?
The reflective detailing is durable, but to ensure longevity, always wash inside out and avoid direct ironing over reflective areas.
Troubleshooting
Chamois feels uncomfortable during long rides
Ensure the bibs are pulled up correctly so the chamois sits flush against the body without sagging.
Tights sliding down at the ankles
Check that the silicone grippers are clean of mud or debris; gently wipe with a damp cloth to restore grip.
Material pilling or showing wear
Wash the tights inside out inside a laundry mesh bag to prevent friction against other garments in the machine.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the bib straps lay flat against your base layer to prevent chafing. The tights are designed to be worn directly against the skin for the chamois to function correctly.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
- Use non-biological detergent to preserve the antibacterial properties of the chamois.
- Hang dry in a shaded area; avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the silicone grippers and the thermal fabric's elastic properties.
- Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces.
