Low-volume winter bib tights that merge targeted protection, maximum breathability, and an aerodynamic fit for riders going full gas in the coldest conditions.
Full Winter Offense has been synonymous with our legendary Bonka tights for years, as their smooth race fit and reliable insulation kept us out on the road during winter's worst, season after season. There were a few key areas we knew we could improve on, however, namely in the form of more targeted protection and increased stability, all while shedding overall weight. And that's precisely where the EQUIPE RS Winter Bib Tights S9 enter the fold. To start, we adapted our proven A-Lock Engineering framework to the tights. This bracing system ensures the thicker textiles remain in full-wrap mode, giving your muscles a boost with a smooth compressive wrap, hour after hour. This new platform also "locks" the insert in place with our ergoBox stitch pattern and external rollBar bib straps, meaning that as your body moves in and out of the saddle and your weight shifts, your sit bones remain fully supported atop the center of the insert. In terms of winterproof materials, we used our reliable two-layer twinDeck construction along the knees, thighs, crotch, and hips, made using a combination of our ultralight 2L, membrane-equipped SPHERE Ultra backed by the more insulating brushed-back OSMOS Heavy. Out back we added our thicker SPHERE Medium. This fortress of lab-developed waterproof and windproof fabrics ensures you receive targeted protection throughout, without ever compromising breathability. For the insert, we incorporated the race-proven EQUIPE RS Insert-minus the kraterCooler ventilation holes-in our signature basalt colorway, equipped with superAir microShock foam, 3D waffle topsheet, and ASSOS-exclusive goldenGate technology.
THE FINER DETAILS
FEATURED FABRICS
Though OSMOS Heavy, a stretchy insulator, constitutes the tights’ body, the key textiles are our membrane-equipped SPHERE Ultra and SPHERE Medium. The weatherproof SPHERE panels are situated on the knees, thighs, hips, crotch, and lower back. Taped seams and DWR treatment are further proof against watery ingress.
CONSTRUCTION/FIT
Our aeroFit is the most aggressive, most aerodynamic, most compressive, and simply the fastest option in our racing line.
ENGINEERING
A-Lock Engineering: The same compressive, race-tuned fit from our Summer and Spring/Fall S9 line, including the stabilizing reinforcement of the Carbon Xbib and insert-supporting ergoBox.
twinDeck: Situates OSMOS Heavy under SPHERE Ultra across the front of the tights, protecting the former’s insulation behind the latter’s weatherproofing and maintaining breathability throughout.
waterBarrier: Geoprene cuffs wrap the shins in waterproof protection to fend off road spray and protect a common culprit in loss of body heat. Finished with reflective bands at the back.
INSERT
EQUIPE RS Winter Insert: Race-spec elastic interface insert in 3D basalt colorway, minus the kraterCooler ventilation holes in the front.
goldenGate: A stitching pattern that anchors the front and back but lets the insert’s body float, allowing the chamois to move with your body rather than against it.
superAir microShock foam: A light, shock-absorbing foam that springs back to its original shape, filling the gaps that open and close between body and chamois during the pedal stroke.
kukuPenthouse: Replaces the summer S9 insert’s kraterCooler with an additional panel of OSMOS Heavy, adding soft insulation as part of our blasenSchutz crotch protection design.
