bib tights for sub zero riding

Sportful Fiandre Norain Bib Tights have been great for me so far this winter. They are windproof too.

The Aldi ones have windproof panels on the front and are almost too hot. They were a couple of months ago though so unless there are any on Ebay...

the Lusso windproof ones worth a look and £80. Last me 2 hard winters

Not sure if anything will work that well in sub zero temps. One option is to wear some padded bib shorts and on top buy some unpadded thick bib tights. If you do this then you get two layers covering just about all of your upper leg.

On another note i have a pair of the dhb Vaeon Zero Padded Bib Tight, which I have had for about a year. They are very well made and will cope with most conditions, I have never tried them in sub zero conditions but just above 0 they are warm enough and the windblock panelling works well.

I've been wearing a pair of Shutt VR's Roubaix tights for the last two years. Genius kit. Was out in -3.6ºC this morning in them, quite toasty.

Only bugger is - they don't seem to sell them anymore!

Value for money has to be DHB Vaeon Zero. Obviously you don't get premium brand after sales care (Rapha/ Assos crash repair etc) but if you are looking for good bib tights then these should be on your list.

Windproof panel from upper thigh, through the knee to half shin really helps keep the chill off. Once you generate some body heat they retain it really well too. Foot stirrups keep the bottom tidy under your socks and a decent size zip makes nature calls easy.

I have a couple of pairs and the missus has three pairs we like them so much.

last winter I made the switch from padded winter tights to shorts+unpadded tights. One of the best desicions I've made. gives an extra layer on the upper legs and crotch, right where you need it. Currently happy down to about ~1°C with the Howies shorts+tights.

I bought a pair of winter tights from Decathlon, about £50 if memory serves. They're pretty damn warm, some kind of fleece on the inside. My legs have remained pretty warm throughout this cold spell although I haven't had a sub-zero ride yet.

Castelli Sorpasso Windstopper Bibtights very warm and water resistant. £145 from Wiggle.
Alternatively Castelli Sorpasso Bibtights (Not Windstopper) £123

I have a pair of Gore ALP-X 2.0 bib tights. They only get worn about 3 or 4 times a year, they're great but too warm for me.
I tend to go padded bib shorts, tight'ish icebreaker merino leggings then the Alp X. If it's any warmer than say 5 or 6 degrees other bib tights get used.
I ride all year in all weather but when it gets below freezing I get the heebie jeebies after a couple of minor spills on black ice..

Hi, I have the Altura Night Vision winter long legged bib tights and they are great, lovely and warm. They have thicker forward facing 'parts' at the thighs/knees and keep that area warm,,,,,, also the 'man bits' snug too.

Have a look at our bib tight reviews starbuck, plenty of good recommendations in there http://road.cc/show/review-section/tights-longs/10720

I've just reviewed Rapha's new winter bib tights and they coped really well in sub-zero temperatures, and are good in the rain too, or when the roads are very wet and there's loads of spray from the front wheel

Ekoi but wait for the sales.

Just layer some newspaper over your legs, easy to tear to size for a decent fit, and costs nothing.
