Hitting the road and riding in the cold takes a special kind of dedication and mental fortitude. But with this in mind, Specialized built the Specialized Element Cycling Bib Tights to be your perfect training partner this winter.

To start, they’re partly made from one of the most protective, warming materials in the businessElement Soft Shell. This material is extremely wind- and water-resistant, and it’s also highly efficient at wicking moisture away from the skin, while remaining soft against the skin and quite breathable. And to further protect against the cold, select panels of the tights are constructed from Specialized’s insulating Therminal fabric.

Both materials possess the perfect amount of stretch, which complements the articulated cycling cut of the tights. Essentially, this all adds up to a complete freedom of movement throughout the motions of cycling, and this equates to the elimination of any rubbing, pinching, or chafing. And to ease entry and exit of the tights, Specialized hasalso included an eight-inch ankle zipper.

For the insert, you’ll findSpecialized’s Body Geometry 3D Contour Chamois. It features a variable density design that places support and padding where you need it, not where you don’t. Additionally, the chamois has a brushed face, providing a touch of added warmth and moisture management.

• Element Soft Shell is a knit fabric with remarkable insulating properties, as well as being wind- and water-resistant and highly breathable. We’ve also included insulating Therminal panels in selective locations of the tights to further the overall warmth.
• Articulated cycling fit is designed to complement the body throughout the positions and movements of cycling, which eliminates any unwanted pinching, rubbing, or chafing.
• Ankle gaiter creates a tight seal with either shoes or covers, so cold air won’t creep up the leg while you’re riding.
• Reflective elements increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
