Details of the GripGrab Women’s ThermaShell Water-Resistant Bib Tights

These bib tights use the same high-stretch softshell fabric as the GripGrab AquaRepel Leg Warmers: this three-layer fabric features a 100% waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane that protects your entire legs and lower back from the worst of winter weather and rear splash. The protective fabric has a four-way stretch profile to provide a close and comfortable fit with maximum freedom of movement.

In areas without the fully waterproof membrane, such as the bottom of the thighs, back of the knees and waist, a soft brushed fleece fabric is used to provide additional insulation and body-hugging stretch. Like the other fabric panels, this fleece fabric is treated with a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment that effectively repels rain showers and rear splash.

The padding on the ThermaShell Bib Tights is unique - it comes in the form of a high-quality seat pad incorporated into the removable GripGrab Ventilite Padded Liner Shorts, which are worn under the unpadded outer bib shorts. The Elastic Interface LIÈGE HP seat pad ensures comfort on long-distance rides thanks to high-density foam inserts; these are strategically positioned to provide pressure relief on the pelvic tract, sit bones and perinea. The perfect combination of perforated foams of varying densities provides exceptional breathability and maximum freedom of movement.

The inner shorts themselves are made from a mix of highly elastic fabric and extra breathable mesh, and feature a wide elastic waistband to minimize pressure points. Elastic grippers with silicone gripper points at the hems keep the shorts firmly in place, even when worn under the tights.

When you get home, you can brush the dirt off the tights while cleaning your bike - and they're ready for the next ride. In the meantime, you can keep the inner tights on to complete your workout with some core and stretch exercises in the gym. The concept of removable inner shorts means you can wash the shorts without having to wash the entire bib shorts after each ride: This is better for the pants as they retain their waterproofing and performance for longer, and a smaller wash volume is better for the environment. This product construction also allows you to ride on consecutive days without having to worry about washing and drying the bib shorts, simply by changing the inner shorts or the summer bib shorts that you wear under the long shorts.

Other details include reflective elements that enhance your presence on the road in low-light conditions, and contoured flatlock seams that provide a snug, comfortable fit no matter how hard you pedal. Designed in Denmark for Scandinavian winters - these bib tights will keep you warm, comfortable and protected from the elements when you're out on those long, cold rides.
