Spring tights guide

Squint and it could almost be summer. Get your legs covered correctly and the rest of your body will believe it could be too. With more daylight, better weather, and nature emerging from hibernation, spring is a beautiful time to be out on the bike. However, while the sun might shine brightly, it’s still some distance from providing the full heat of the summer months. It pays to dress smartly; with a little extra coverage you’ll be able to comfortably ride through this most changeable of seasons.   

To this end, we offer three options for your legs. Between our Thermal Merino 3/4 Bib Shorts and twin-spec Thermal Merino Bib Tights, you will be able to find a pair perfectly matching the spring conditions.

    MEN'S PADDED THERMAL MERINO BIB TIGHTS

    Extra warmth at lower intensities or for racing through early-season cold-snaps. These full-length thermal tights feature a bespoke high-density chamois for endurance riding.

    Cold conditions covered in one. With an integrated chamois pad, highly insulated legs, and extensive upper body coverage, our full-length Padded Thermal Merino Bib Tights leave no area uncovered. 

    Using our bespoke high-density foam chamois, this creates an agreeable interface between bicycle and rider for all-day comfort. Ensuring your contact with the elements is just as well mediated, our Thermal Merino fabric then covers the legs with a wind-resistant face that’s paired to a soft brushed interior.

    All-over warmth and protection

    Further treated with a PFC-free durable water repellent finish, this helps fend off showers while improving the material’s ability to expel moisture. Gently compressive and with a close-knit structure, we designed it from the ground up for cold and inclement conditions. 

    Furthering the garment’s ability to protect the rider, these same thermoregulating qualities are extended along the tights' upper sections. Here, our exclusive Merino + Carbon fabric is used to wrap the rider’s core on both sides to provide an additional layer of soft and breathable insulation. 

    Rounded off with laser-cut cuffs and rear-facing reflective detailing, each element is tailored to provide versatile protection in a single garment.

    MEN'S PADDED THERMAL MERINO 3/4 BIB SHORTS

    Versatile mid-length protection and an endurance-focused chamois make these a simple choice for spring.

    A crucial asset throughout the earlier part of the year, our Padded Thermal Merino 3/4 Bib Shorts can be thrown on to provide comfort, warmth, and security. With a bespoke high-density foam chamois, this suppresses vibrations from the road before they reach the rider. Tailoring the shorts to endurance-style riding, the rest of their construction further backs this ability.

    Indispensable performance

    Starting midway up the calf, the shorts’ traditional three-quarter length design begins with a laser-cut cuff above which our Thermal Merino fabric takes care of insulating your key muscle groups. Supremely soft yet gently compressive, this material is simultaneously wind-resistant and breathable. Treated with a PFC-free durable water repellent finish, this encourages short showers to bead off and speeds drying if the material should eventually become saturated. 

    Providing the same properties as our highly-respected base layers, the shorts’ upper panels extend high across the wearer’s back and over their midriff. Made of our lighter Merino + Carbon fabric, this expands the garment’s coverage to ensure both legs and core remain protected and at a comfortably regulated temperature.

    MERINO THERMAL BIB TIGHTS (NO PAD)

    Repeat wearability and superlatively soft insulation let these padless tights warm up any spring ride.

    Designed to keep the breeze off your legs, our Merino Thermal Bib Tights have been engineered to perform across all sports. Produced using our warm and soft Thermal Merino material, they impart comfort from the core down to the ankles. 

    Possessing excellent wind-resistance along with breathability and a gently compressive fit, a PFC-free durable water repellent finish adds an additional degree of weather protection to your legs. Above this, extended front and rear panels made of our Merino + Carbon fabric provide further insurance against early-season chills. 

    Go and go again

    Coming without a pad, our unisex Merino Thermal Bib Tights are intended to be worn over an existing pair of shorts. Besides offering extra warmth, doubling up has the key benefit of cutting the requirement to wash the outer tights, a facet boosted by the natural anti-odour qualities of their Merino fabric. Assuming you already own a couple of summer shorts, this should allow for multiple days of use before the whole assembly needs refreshing. 

    Finished with a laser-cut cuff and reflective detailing, they’re a practical and hassle-free way to insulate yourself on cooler days.
