ALÉ PRR Green Race Ladies Bib Tights

The inner face of the fabric is soft against the skin, with a brushed fleecy surface, creating air pockets of warm air to insulate you from the cold. At the same time as being warm, it’s breathable too, which is super important in tights, to maximise wicking and to ensure that you don’t overheat or over-sweat.

One crucial fitting area for us women are the straps. The wide and strong highly elastic braces hold the tights in place while minimising pressure over the shoulders. The straps feel light on the shoulders as they fall without too much pressure across the chest, but maybe ALÉ could look towards a total female strap design in the future –just a thought… A breathable mesh back maximises air flow and allows your skin breathe as it optimises heat regulation when working hard, and yes it does really work. When riding hard, the bibs must stay put, in order for you to fully concentrate on tour ride. The less distractions, the more focus. Even on the long rides, where the bibs strapsare worn for a long time, they don’t feel uncomfortable, you can barely feel them. I really like this technology!

The tights have an excellent women’s specific W4H Green Seat Pad which is not bulky and wicks away moisture well, keeping you comfortable all day long. When pedalling long distance rides, the bibs feel great and very comfy.
