Sure, you could drag that old pair of loose-fitting, drawstring “tights” out of the closet to ride through the colder days this fall and winter, and sure, they’ll technically do the job of keeping your legs from freezing off — the way the spare “donut” tire technically keeps your car rolling. Or, you could step it up, and not just tolerate the ride, but want to ride, with a sweet new set of bottoms like the De Marchi Neopro Bib Tights. Designed to be a standalone set of bottoms, the Neopro bib tights aren’t insulated, but De Marchi’s thermal Roubaix fabric makes them feel like they might as well be. It’s a breathable, soft-feel polyester material that retains warmth without getting clammy, while also being wind- and water-resistant to protect you from the elements. The tights are cut into De Marchi’s “Contour” fit, which utilizes shapes and paneling for three-dimensional anatomic support of the muscles, not just a snug fit. Inside, the Giro dual-density EIT chamois is also known as D eMarchi’s “endurance” chamois, incorporating super high density, ventilated cushioning elements in correspondence with the ischial (or “sitting”) bones. Additionally, front channels of open cell foam were placed in the perineal (soft tissue) zone, which is more compressed to accommodate your body while in the cycling position. The specific “half-moon” seamless shaping perfectly contours to the bibs’ paneling to eliminate bunching and creates a middle channel where the body stays suspended for effective pressure relief and improved bloodflow through your nether regions. The De Marchi Neopro Bib Tights come in the color Black and in five sizes, from Small to XX-Large.
