Thermal insulation, stretch, and breathability are our basic requirements for cold-weather training tights. The Pearl Izumi Elite Escape AmFIB Tight checks off all three, and it adds a water-shedding treatment to the mix, ensuring that road spray and sleet don't ruin the gains made by the fleece's heat-trapping properties. Chamois-free construction lets these tights flex into running or lets you layer your preferred summer bibs underneath. Lower leg zips make the tights easy to put on so you can jump in the saddle before changing your mind about riding and once you do, the BioViz reflective elements enhance your visibility on evening winter rides.
