OPEN COLLECTIVE: WINTR BIB TIGHTS

If there is one garment that a cyclist requires to survive a winter of riding, it's the Spatz WINTR bib tights.

Brand new for AW25/26, the design brief was very simple; to design and engineer the very best pair of bib tights available to the cyclist who rides in a variety of conditions and with a variety of footwear.

The main body fabric is thermal, fleece-lined roubaix with a water repellent coating. The fabric is soft, stretchy and warm and the fleecy lining traps a layer of warm air against your skin and helps to transport sweat away from the body.

The ankle of the tights is cut short and a neoprene-like fabric is added at the hem to form the "Shin Seal". The Shin Seal is worn overlapping your overshoes or oversocks to help limit water ingress and keep the warmth locked in. The hem sits mid-calf and creates a seamless fit and aesthetic when paired with any of our legendary Spatz overshoes. The WINTR bib tights are worn as full length tights but are cropped specifically at mid-calf length to pair with overshoes, oversocks or socks for a next level of protection, ergonomics and a contempory look.

For the new WINTR bib tights we have specified the same great Dolomiti chamois pad from our Convoy shorts so you can expect hours of comfort and years of use. This is simply the best pad we have used over a lifetime of cycling.

In true Spatz style we have added a mesh stash pocket on the rear of the tights adding even more functionality. A subtle reflective logo sits within the pocket and is unnoticable until it flares up under the glare of headlights.

At Spatz we are lifetime cyclists. We are in the enviable position of being able to design and produce the garments that we want to wear. The WINTR bib tights epitomise this; they are the perfect tights to see you through the winter months and also look and feel brilliant worn with a nice pair of socks in the spring and autumn...
