Not water-resistant. Not showerproof. Proper protection from the elements, using the kind of fabric technology normally reserved for serious technical outerwear. Now in a pair of bib shorts.

We've borrowed the extraordinary Italian 2-layer softshell from our Winter Bib Tights and given it an entirely new lease of life.

Featuring a fully waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane rated to 20,000mm/18,000 - plus a PFAS-free C0 DWR treatment to encourage water beading - this is a fabric engineered to shrug off conditions that would have most riders staying at home.

Despite its remarkable technical performance, it's beautifully soft, with a luxurious brushed inner surface for warmth and comfort.

Because the best rides aren't always the ones with the best weather.

Our Deep Winter Bib Shorts feature the same extraordinary chamois that has built our reputation among Audax and ultra endurance cyclists - independently tested, awarded perfect review scores, and proven across multiple endurance world records.

Our exclusive Italian-made, 4-layer pad combines three different densities of memory foam with a unique, permanently bonded aloe treatment, designed to minimise friction without the need for chamois cream.

It beat leading competitors in scientific pressure testing, and was ridden by Dr. Sarah Ruggins for 22 hours a day for 13 days over 6,000km across Europe as part of her One Way North project, without a single saddle sore.

The Deep Winter Bib Shorts were specifically developed for One Way North as part of a suit of 13 products used by Sarah to set two new world records.

Stopping for a toilet break in the middle of a ride shouldn't involve stripping off half your clothes. Especially in bad weather.

Cold fingers. Wet layers. An exposed roadside. And the realisation that nature is calling.

That's why our proprietary clipless drop-seat system has been a feature of our bib shorts from day one, for both men and women.

No buckles, clips, zips or complicated fastenings. And no need to remove your jersey, jacket or other upper layers.

Just a brilliantly simple solution to one of cycling's most unnecessarily uncomfortable problems.

Don't settle for less.

Not everyone wants to ride in tights. Not every winter ride calls for them.

By combining the extraordinary weather protection of our Winter Tights with the versatility of Bib Shorts, we've created something that gives you more options, more of the time.

We've even raised the front waist for additional warmth and protection where it matters.

Wear them alone when conditions allow. Add leg warmers when the temperature drops. Adjust your layers as the weather, the terrain and your effort changes.

Serious weather protection, with the freedom, flexibility and versatility that only bib shorts can offer.

Put a little comfort back into discomfort this winter.
