FAQs
Can I wear these in the rain?
The C0 DWR treatment is designed to handle road spray and light showers, but these tights are not fully waterproof.
How should I clean the pockets?
The mesh pockets should be rinsed or wiped down gently if they accumulate mud, or washed on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag.
Are these tights suitable for summer riding?
No, the insulation and wind-blocking panels are intended for cooler temperatures and will be too warm for summer heat.
What is the benefit of flatlock seams?
Flatlock seams lie flush against the skin, significantly reducing the risk of chafing and irritation over long hours in the saddle.
Do the reflective strips fade?
Reflective material is durable, but to ensure longevity, avoid harsh detergents and never iron over the reflective sections.
Troubleshooting
Water absorption increasing after several washes
Reactivate the DWR treatment by tumble drying on a low heat setting or applying a DWR spray designed for cycling apparel.
Chamois discomfort
Ensure the tights are pulled fully up and the chamois is positioned correctly against the skin; use a high-quality chamois cream if irritation persists.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated pockets eliminate the need for extra bulky bags on long rides
- DWR treatment provides reliable protection against damp road conditions
- Exceptional long-distance comfort provided by high-end chamois
- Reflective accents significantly improve visibility in low-light conditions
Cons
- Not suitable for extreme deep-winter sub-zero temperatures without additional base layers
- Requires careful washing to maintain the DWR coating longevity
- Technical fabric fit is aggressive and may feel tight for casual riders
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Albion tights, always wash them in cold water using a mild, technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the C0 DWR treatment and compromise the wicking properties of the Nylon fabric. Hang to dry in a ventilated area, away from direct heat sources. When fitting the tights, ensure the mesh upper lies flat against your back to prevent chafing during long rides. These tights are compatible with most standard cycling saddles but perform best when paired with endurance-oriented setups.
